Dr Alicia Newsome: Prioritizing Health for Leaders

This week on Progress Always, I sit down with Dr. Alicia Newsome, CEO of the BodyWellness Institute. She is a Functional Medicine and Lifestyle Physician, corporate trainer, and three-time bestselling author. Dr. Newsome is also the host of the Whole & Complete Woman Podcast. We met through Scottsdale Top Docs, a powerful organization comprised of forward-thinking medical practitioners and synergistic professionals allied to change medicine and patient relations from “sick care” to actual “health care.” Her journey into functional medicine was born from her personal experience battling chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalance. As she discovered solutions to her own issues, it exposed the necessity to approach her practice differently. Episode Highlights: 1. Why Today’s Leaders Need to Prioritize Their Health! Dr. Newsome emphasizes the importance of health as a fundamental pillar of effective leadership. 2. Leadership and Wellness: A Departure from Hustle Culture Contrary to the beliefs held by "Hustle Culture," Dr. Newsome explains why wellness and leadership are inherently connected. 3. The Value of Blood Panels and Analysis We discuss how comprehensive blood work and analysis can pinpoint the root causes of symptoms, leading to more effective treatments. 4. The Constraints of Allopathic Medicine Dr. Newsome shares insights on how many of her colleagues in traditional allopathic medicine feel restricted by the system. 5. Overcoming the Lack of Knowledge in Health Despite the abundance of information, there is still a significant gap in understanding what it takes to achieve optimal health. Dr. Newsome addresses how to overcome this barrier. Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Alicia Newsome as we explore the intersection of leadership, health, and functional medicine.
