Ep. 6: Free Your Mind and Health: Creating Systems for Gen X Health with Dr. Leona Allen
A lot of women remain stuck because they don't know what's possible. They may not have seen someone over 40 lose weight. They might not have seen someone over 40 actually have healthy children. They may not have seen someone change their careers in midlife. So that unknown, if they don't see examples of it, they're afraid to step out of that comfort zone.
Michele sits down with Dr. Leona Allen of Freedom Health Systems and The Heal Deal Podcast. Dr. Allen shares her personal healing journey from being overweight and dealing with pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and gallbladder disease. She discusses the challenges she faced in developing deep connections and trusting others due to her upbringing as a military Gen X kid. She also talks about making the transition from being an engineer to becoming a chiropractor and functional nutritionist despite everyone telling her that she should stick with her stable, good-paying job.
As a chiropractor and functional nutritionist for 20 years, Dr. Allen emphasizes the importance of mindset in healing and the need to believe in one's ability to heal. She also highlights three fears that prevent women from taking autonomy over their physical well-being.
This conversation is a walk down Gen X memory lane and full of Dr. Leona’s personal stories of making one shift after the next. She shows the power of stepping into your own autonomy to make powerful mental, physical, and lifestyle changes. Dr. Leona is an inspiring Gen X’er who rocks out to Michael Jackson, with a plush green carpet and a disco ball in her bedroom!
