Today, they break down the importance of regularly seeing:

👁 Eye Doctors – How often should kids, adults, and seniors get vision exams? What changes after 40? Why are diabetic retinal exams critical? And what’s the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist? They also discuss screen time, blue light exposure, and how diet, exercise, and proper nutrients protect your long-term vision.

🦷 Dentists – Oral health isn’t just about your smile—it’s directly connected to heart health, gut health, chronic disease, and inflammation. Dr. Plaster and Amber explain why dental cleanings every six months matter, when children should establish care, how medications can impact oral health, and why prevention saves you far more than waiting for a problem.

☀️ Dermatologists – Skin cancer doesn’t discriminate. From tanning beds and childhood sunburns to genetic risk factors and changing moles, they discuss why annual skin checks are crucial—especially if you’ve had significant sun exposure. Early detection can be life-saving.

Throughout the conversation, they emphasize a common theme: prevention is always easier than treatment. Establishing relationships with trusted specialists before something goes wrong gives you an advantage in protecting your health long-term. At Our Family Health, we believe in complete wellness—mind, body, and soul. That means knowing when to lean into lifestyle, nutrition, and prevention… and when to partner with the right specialists to safeguard your future.

If you’ve ever wondered how often you really need to see an eye doctor, when to take your child to the dentist, or whether you should schedule a skin check—this episode is for you.

Chest pain is one of the most common and most confusing symptoms patients experience. In Part 2 of the Heart Health Series, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster are once again joined by cardiologist Dr. Marcus Sims to answer one critical question: How do you know when chest pain is a heart attack and when it’s something else?

This episode walks listeners through the real-world decision-making process doctors use when evaluating chest pain.

Dr. Plaster and Amber break down simple, realistic strategies to help you slow down, stay grounded, and protect your wellbeing in the midst of the holiday chaos.

You’ll learn how to:

✨ Create a “calm and cozy” holiday by reducing the frantic pace, embracing simplicity, and being intentional with your time.

If you think staying healthy requires long workouts or hours at the gym, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. NEAT is all about the small, everyday movements that add up: taking the stairs, standing instead of sitting, folding laundry while standing, stretching during your kid’s practice, walking during phone calls — and so much more.

Jenny breaks down:

• What NEAT actually is
• Why daily movement matters more than you think
• How perimenopause and aging affect our natural activity levels
• Real-life examples of how your normal day can burn more calories
• Ways to reduce sedentary habits without adding “one more thing” to your plate
• How parents and kids alike can build healthier routines

You’ll walk away with practical, doable ways to increase movement, boost metabolism, and improve strength — all without stepping foot in a gym.

✨ Hashtag challenge: #IllTakeTheStairs

In this powerful conversation, Jenny breaks down the role of fitness in reaching your health goals and shows how movement is medicine for your mind, body, and longevity. From overcoming gym intimidation to building strength that lasts a lifetime, this episode will help you rethink what it means to move with purpose.

💪 Key Takeaways:

• Start where you are. You don’t need a gym membership — walking, dancing, or joining a fun class can kickstart your journey.

• Strength training = longevity. Building skeletal muscle boosts metabolism, hormone balance, and protects against bone loss.

• You won’t “get bulky.” Muscle supports fat loss, better blood sugar control, and overall vitality.

• Progressive overload works. Lifting heavy (safely) builds lean muscle and revs your metabolism long after your workout.

• Movement heals. Daily walks improve heart health, lower stress, and even help prevent dementia.

• Accountability matters. A coach, friend, or app can help you stay consistent and confident.

• Jenny’s approach to fitness isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up, staying consistent, and celebrating the small wins that create lasting change.

🏋️‍♀️ Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to reignite your workout routine, this episode will leave you inspired to build strength for life — not just for looks.

• Why food is more than calories — it’s fuel and medicine for your body.

• How to calculate simple calorie and protein goals using Jenny’s easy formulas.

• The power of protein for energy, muscle, and metabolism (and why 100g a day can change everything).

• How to build plates that include fiber, whole foods, and smart indulgences — no deprivation required.

• How to reduce added sugar without losing joy in eating.

• Why small, consistent steps (and Jenny’s “Two-in-a-Row Rule”) lead to lasting success.

Jenny reminds us that eating well doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it’s about making mindful choices, honoring your body, and enjoying the process.

🥗 Whether you’re learning to track macros, eat cleaner, or simply drink more water, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and equipped to fuel your best life.

Jenny shares her journey from “accidental influencer” to metabolic health expert — and breaks down how simple, sustainable lifestyle habits can transform your health. Together, they discuss why sleep is the real superpower, how to reset your circadian rhythm with morning sunlight, and how small daily movements and stress-management practices can improve energy, metabolism, and longevity.

💡 Key takeaways:

• Sleep isn’t optional — it’s the cornerstone of hormonal balance, brain health, and energy.
• Morning sunlight and consistent routines help reset your body’s natural rhythms.
• Simple movement — even ten squats an hour — can offset a sedentary job.
• Managing stress doesn’t have to be complicated: start with 3-minute meditations, grace for yourself, and realistic goals.
• Follow Jenny’s “Two-in-a-Row Rule”: never skip a healthy habit twice.
