EXPERT ALERTS:

Most Adults Don't Get Enough Sleep
Shannon Wright, RD
Wellness Expert
Natrol, LLC
"Adults need seven to nine hours of sleep each night that includes all sleep stages in order to feel well rested. One out of three Americans don't get enough sleep, and women are two times more likely to have difficulty falling and staying asleep.
Wright is a wellness expert providing education and background on healthy lifestyles supported by vitamin and supplements. She brings more than 20 years of experience in the nutrition, vitamin and supplement industry, specializing in vitamin education and consumer affairs. In addition to joining the Natrol team, Wright is a consulting partner for Vitamin Education Specialists, where she provides consumer education about vital topics, such as sleep, mood, nutrition, vitamins and general health. Wright received her Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences at California State University, Northridge. She has been a registered dietitian for more than 25 years.

Working out After Childbirth
Christina M. Christie
Physical Therapist and Women's Health Program Co-Manager
Athletico Physical Therapy
Moms often ask when they can begin their normal. Says Christie: "Intense workouts too soon after childbirth could actually do more long-term harm than good because of the impact childbirth has on the pelvic core, back and hips. Ignoring this could lead to serious musculoskeletal issues that sideline new moms for well over a year."
Christie is available to provide exercises safe for new moms.

Don't Worry, Parents: When It Comes to Finances, Your Adult Kids Have Got Your Back
John Sweeney
EVP, Retirement and Investing Strategies
Fidelity Investments
"Whether it's estate planning, long-term care or handling the finances, there's no such thing as over-communicating. As parents approaching retirement age embark on the next chapter of their lives, open conversations about finances can help clear up any misunderstandings and align the expectations of both parents and their kids."
Sweeney can speak to Fidelity's Family & Finance study (to be released June 28), which reveals the disconnect between parents and children on the roles and responsibilities adult kids will have as parents grow older and enter into retirement. He can also discuss the importance of having family conversations before unexpected emergency situations arise.
