It is no secret that Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of today’s families. The amount of work, errands, tasks, and support mothers do day in and day out is never-ending. It’s keeping the household and family running. It’s planning birthday parties and family activities. It’s running to the grocery store while waiting to pick up the dry cleaning. It’s making sure the kids and spouse have everything they need… often putting themselves and their health last. It can feel like an Invisible Burden... an evergrowing weight carried on the shoulders of many moms. And our society expects mothers to carry this load without question. What happens when we carry additional weight…? Our bodies are stressed and challenged in a magnitude of ways that can lead to stress, poor health. The Invisible Burden can lead to weight gain, constant low energy, hormone imbalance. It can lead to being stretched beyond reach. What’s worse is that hardworking mothers like you bearing this burden, are often not seen or acknowledged for carrying the contributions and the acts of the family. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, society often expects you to carry the invisible burden without question. If you’re a working mom, you’re also expected to carry the invisible burden just as much while working to provide an income to your family. You have so many important things pulling you in different directions that it often means you put yourself… and your health… last. I’m Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Founder, and CEO of the Fit Mother Project and the host of this podcast… and I get all of this. Growing up… my dad died when I was 9 years old… and my mom became a widow with two young boys… and she had to fight to raise us and keep our family together. I started the Fit Mother Project and created this podcast with the sole purpose of helping create stronger and more powerful mothers through losing weight without restrictive diets, crazy workouts, or the image of “being perfect.” Our Fit Mother team has helped over 10,000 women become a stronger more fit version of themselves and we know this podcast will help you do the same on your journey to a better you. You can take care of your family and work… and still make time for yourself and your health. I’ll show you how XYZ. It’s time for you to put yourself and your health first.

On Episode 133 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Peter Martone, Dr. Sleep Right, joins Dr. Anthony Balduzzi to discuss the importance of proper sleep position.
Dr. Martone introduces the Neck Nest pillow, which he explains helps to create the right structure in the spine. Many people are affected by forward head posture due to our seated jobs, use of cell phones and devices, and the use of improper pillows.
He explains the connection between forward head posture and the psoas muscle and how correcting sleep position can improve overall health.
Dr. Martone shares tips on transitioning to a healthy sleep position and emphasizes the importance of using the right pillow. He also discusses the measurement and tracking of sleep, the impact of technology on sleep, and supplements for sleep. Dr. Martone also shares his vision for the future of sleep and well-being.
Dr. Peter Martone is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient’s biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor.
Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine affects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice. Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life.
During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patient’s spines while they sleep.
Dr. Martone’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey’s Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping.

In this episode, you’ll meet Christopher Maher, a retired US Navy SEAL, best-selling author, and holistic wellness pioneer who is regarded as the unparalleled authority in stress resolution, healing, personal evolution, and longevity.
He first had occasional joint discomfort, which quickly turned into widespread pain affecting all his joints, from his feet to his lower back and neck. He was almost in need of a complete hip replacement. The extreme stress also affected his hearing and vision, leading him to rely on lip-reading for communication.
Christopher's determination drove him to seek solutions for his discomfort. His journey to self-healing began at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University, where he learned traditional Chinese medical practices combined with Western science and pathology.
After ten years of learning from Grand Master Mantak Chia at Thailand's Universal Tao Master School, Christopher gained knowledge and underwent a personal transformation. He then made it his mission to help others navigate accumulated stress, drawing from his healing and growth.
Christopher's deep understanding gave birth to True Body Intelligence, a holistic approach encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. His innovative methodology analyzes subconscious stress imprints, leading to rapid and lasting transformations, enabling individuals to overcome the original root causes of their pain, trauma, and stress.
