If you listened to season 1 with Dr. Sue, I’ve had my share of struggles with my health – mentally, physically, and emotionally and that part of resolving some of the issues has been turning to alternative approaches to wellness and functional medicine.
And that’s why I’m so excited that this conversation with Dr. Apostolos Lekkos is kicking off Season 2.
I found Dr. Lekkos through goop and after a little deep dive found out he was Sophia Bush’s doctor…Brooke Davis…if you know, you know…and loved his mind, body, spirit approach to claiming your health and living a fulfilled meaningful life.
Dr. Apostolos Lekkos is the founder and owner of Bios Functional Medicine, located in Santa Monica, California. Dr. Lekkos offers life-changing solutions to health care problems with a unique “outside of the box” perspective. His comprehensive, state-of-the-art medical approach combines cutting-edge testing with an in-depth analysis of each patient’s mind, body, and spirit. This enables him to create a customized, restorative treatment plan exclusively tailored for each patient.
Dr. Lekkos assesses each case individually and thoroughly; as he does not believe in the “one size fits all” approach.
Dr. Lekkos has completed the Advanced Fellowship and Board Certification program in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine offered by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. He also earned his Master’s Degree in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida Medical College. Dr. Lekkos received his bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas at Austin. He then obtained his medical degree from The University of North Texas Health Science Center, graduating in the Top 5 in his class. His post-graduate training and Board Certification was in Emergency Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. His Emergency Medicine career has allowed him to see nearly 30,000 patients.
Yes, Dr. Lekkos and I talk about all the stuff you might expect…nutrition, exercise, and that kind of stuff…but we also go so much deeper because as we learn…our health is so much more than that…
This episode was recorded on April 20th, and so much has changed in the world since then.
We talk about:
- How COVID is impacting us personally
- The art of a SIMPLE morning routine
- How to take action on our ideas
- His shift from the ER to functional medicine and why treating symptoms with a pill isn’t the answer
- The detrimental impact of negative self-talk
- Perception, positive energy, and stress
- And some really tactical tips like a balanced exercise plan, intermittent fasting, top supplements you should take, and his top tips for staying healthy right now
He includes a lot of amazing resources that you can find in the show notes.
After our chat, I share how I’m taking our conversation and putting it into action with a challenge and an organization that’s doing good and spreading love
