In this powerful episode of The Manage Her Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend and renowned functional medicine doctor, Dr. Mary “Sunny” Raleigh, founder of Restoration Healthcare in Irvine, California.

Dr. Sunny is known for treating the patients no one else can—those suffering from Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic conditions that traditional medicine often overlooks. But beyond her medical brilliance, she’s also a mom of three teenage boys, one of whom is about to graduate high school.

We dive into what it really takes to raise a family while running a high-impact business, including how she manages her clinic from Idaho, commutes across states, and still shows up fully for her patients and her family. We talk co-parenting, distance parenting, and the realities of being a woman who leads at home and at work.

Dr. Sunny also shares amazing insights into:

 • The gut-brain connection and its role in healing
 • How to support concussion recovery
 • Small changes that make a big impact on overall health

This is a must-listen for moms, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating family life while trying to change the world.
