Head-to-Toe Wellness: Connect Your Mind, Body & Soul
If you hear the word wellness, you might think it means maintaining a healthy diet, going to the gym regularly, and maintaining a particular weight.

Even though these all might be a part of your physical wellness goal, you might be forgetting about your emotional and mental wellness.

"Head-to-toe wellness" means just that... working on yourself as a whole, and not focusing on one part of your body. Your body works best when everything is aligned, and working together as a whole. For example, if you have a positive mindset, more than likely your physical wellness will reflect that.

What are some ways to get started on head-to-toe wellness?

Paula Felps joins Dr. Mike to discuss what head-to-toe wellness means, as well as ways you can achieve positive health for your mind, body and soul.
