Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The moment you see that little "+" on the pregnancy test, everything changes. Baby comes first. And that's absolutely beautiful. Except, somewhere along the way between pregnancy test and delivery, coordinating school pickup, wiping noses, and incorporating workplace demands, the health of the mother takes a backseat. Mom Hacks changes all that.

Mom Hacks author Dr. Darria Gillespie outlines five building blocks (Purpose, Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep and Stress) and over 100 tips to lead mothers into peak health, rest, and vibrancy. Similar to popular bestsellers such as The 4-Hour Body, Mom Hacks offers a useful guide to health and fitness, addressing the question: what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results? Here, the answers come from a doctor who is also a mom.
