In this inspiring and deeply practical episode, Kelly Dean sits down with Dr. Hilary Freskin, a family medicine physician and homeschooling mom of seven, to explore how real-life functional core strength transforms not just bodies, but entire families.
Dr. Freskin shares her personal journey—from college athlete to busy mom managing back pain and diastasis recti—highlighting the pivotal moment she discovered The Tummy Team’s approach. With a history of fast, sometimes unassisted deliveries (including twins born just 90 minutes from water breaking!), Hilary reflects on how even years of fitness training couldn’t substitute for true functional core use.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
True core strength comes from functional use in daily life, not isolated workouts.
Tiny, stacked habits and celebrating small wins build sustainable change.
Awareness (mirrors, posture checks, body feedback) is 50% of the solution.
Movement, gratitude, and community nourish both physical and emotional health.
Parents modeling healthy habits can shape an entire family’s lifestyle.
