Ep. 6:  Free Your Mind and Health:  Creating Systems for Gen X Health with Dr. Leona Allen

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!   

Dr. Leona Allen, the founder of Freedom Health Systems, is dedicated to empowering women to attain greater freedom in their health and lives.

Renowned for her innovative programs, Dr. Leona assists busy professional women in transforming their health by addressing physical, chemical, and emotional barriers to natural healing.  Having personally faced chronic headaches, fatigue, and weight gain attributed to prediabetes and fatty liver disease, Dr. Leona embarked on a journey to heal her body, which became a pivotal moment in her life and practice.

Dr. Leona's customized programs, shaped by thorough health assessments, recognize that one's current health status reflects the accumulated stressors over time. Collaborating closely with her patients, she develops tailored plans to mitigate the impact of physical and emotional trauma, nutritional deficiencies, chronic cellular inflammation, and toxicity.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University, Dr. Leona has been a licensed chiropractor and functional nutritionist for over twenty years. Her practice adopts a holistic, natural healthcare approach, reflecting her commitment to the well-being of her patients.

Enjoy this nostalgic and empowering conversation!
