What an amazing episode with my friend Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown! She dropped all the gems about sleep and how it can impact our lives and health, especially as busy moms. Tune in, and I promise you will want to take notes!
Dr. Brown is board-certified in pediatric pulmonary medicine and pediatric sleep disorders. As a double board-certified pediatric respiratory sleep medicine physician, Dr. Brown helps her patients breathe better and sleep better. By extension, she helps improve the sleep of their parents.

She does this through courses and programs focused on educating and empowering busy professional women to make sleep a priority as a critical pillar of their health.
Dr. Brown is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Thoracic Society (ATS). She has served on several committees locally, regionally, and nationally.

She also works with organizations and small businesses, to improve employee health by incorporating healthy sleep as part of their wellness journey. She does this through seminars, workshops, and round table sessions.
