Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
Hello, I'm Dr. Heather Heck and I'm a little unique in that I hold credentials in both eastern and western medicine. I actually just closed my physical practice and now I want to share all of my knowledge and real-life experiences with you.
Not only that, but I'm also a mother and I have had so many mom-patients who just want to know how to best create a healthy environment for their kids. I plan to share all the ways I try and do this in my own home. My goal is to help YOU find the good, better, and best options in your whole body health through education and making sure you're aware of all of the holistic options you have. I am hoping this podcast is the start of many conversations and that I can positively impact your life, even if just by listening! Follow-me: https://linktr.ee/doctorheck

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Interview with Dr. Alicia Barnes, DC, CCSP
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
Dr. Alicia Barnes has seen an increase in knee, elbow, and shoulder surgeries in student-athletes in her practice alone. These injuries and general strain have increased risks of degenerative joint disease.
The American Psychological Association recommends 2-3 months off a sport each year. We need to ask ourselves whether the physical, mental, and emotional toll youth athletics are taking on our kids is worth the payouts. The percentage of high school students becoming D1 college athletes is small, not to mention the likelihood they'll become professional athletes. It needs to be about balance, especially in these developmental years...
Alicia is a good friend and knowledgeable youth sports practitioner. This episode has a ton of good insight!
