075 Staying Fit and Functional for Life with Angel Shannon MS, CRNP
Today’s show feels like loving medicine. Our guest today, Angel Shannon, is a lifestyle medicine practitioner, board certified nurse and the founder of Seva Health Group. Her experience includes over two decades of clinical practice and a lifetime of integrative health and mind-body medicine.
As a speaker and educator, Angel teaches people how to intentionally create a foundation of practices that will help them achieve better health and continuous personal improvement in every area of their lives. She also has a membership group called Get Fit & Functional for Life and is looking to expand her offerings to bring mindfulness and compassion practices to the corporate environment.
Angel practices what she preaches – running, yoga, tai-chi, meditation, journaling are all favorite practices. They allow her, in her words, to “leave it all on the mat “and be effective at work and in life.
Angel knows her stuff on such a broad array of topics; we could have chatted for hours. But beyond the knowledge, you’ll enjoy her warm style and deep wisdom. She also shared the best answer I ever heard on why it’s so difficult to implement healthy change.
Here’s what we cover:
The difference between alternative, integrative and lifestyle medicine;
Balancing conventional and alternative health modalities;
How to remain resilient in changing times; and
How the age well and with vibrancy.
We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Angel shares some of the things that are lighting her up these days.
