25: #TBT What no one tells you about healing

In today’s episode, we are airing an interview that Allison did for JJ Flizanes Fit 2 Love Podcast. Allison shares the very personal story of losing her parents to cancer, and how that forever changed her. Up until that time, Allison was like anyone else – eating too much fast fast food, completely oblivious to the impact of food on your body, and she only exercised so she could look good in a bathing suit. However, all of that changed with the cancer diagnosis. Allison shares her mission to heal her parents with holistic methods, and the lessons she learned along the way.

The catalyst for Allison’s journey to holistic living began with her parent’s cancer diagnoses. It was a tough journey but Allison learned that this was an opportunity for growth and she took the action to change her life. She shares this story of loss with JJ Flizanes of the Fit 2 Love podcast.
