Shannon Leggett
if I was able to help them treat their chronic stress, help them implement some lifestyle changes, and I would be better at it. Their pain would be better, I would be more effective and an efficient clinician

Yeah, yeah. And it just comes, you know, to show to how our own self care is essential to really allow our full creativity, like when we’re in the profession of helping others, you know, we don’t always think creativity matters, but it does

And to think about right, like lifestyle management, making changes in you know, diet, sleep, all of that. It’s so much cheaper.

Core purpose/passion: I am on a mission to help people live well. The amount of chronic disease in the U.S. is staggering. The sad part is that most of this is avoidable. While there are medications to help, I believe there is a cheaper and more empowering way to go. Lifestyle management is key here. However, people know more about their computers or the stock market then how to care for their bodies. I want to empower people to change their habits to by providing them with education.

Also, I am extremely passionate about normalizing mental health as health care. I faced so much stigma when I was first diagnosed-even from my own medical providers. It made an awful time in my life harder. I made a promise to myself that I would always be honest about my journey and help those struggling so no one should ever have to feel like I was made to feel!.
