CRACK ADDICTS: One-on-One with Dr. Alessandra Colón
In today's episode, we welcome the remarkable Dr. Alessandra Colón, an award-winning chiropractor recently highlighted on TLC’s TV show, ‘Crack Addicts.’Dr. Colón's story is truly inspiring. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer at the age of 14, she defied the odds and overcame this challenge. Her personal triumph ignited a profound passion for health and wellness, leading her on a journey to become an advocate for natural disease prevention and chiropractic care.After doctors gave her a 25 percent chance to live, she underwent advanced chemotherapy and radiation leading her to remission. Surviving her greatest struggle powered her love of health and life. “Looking back it dawned on me that I had gained so much more than growing my hair back,” she says, “beating cancer had gave me the push to become more knowledgeable about the human body, nutrition, and natural prevention of disease.” After graduating from The University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science, Dr. Colón’s devotion led her to pursue her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Daytona, Florida. At Palmer, she was challenged and instructed by leading professionals in the field and augmented her skill set with proficiencies in sports therapy, rehabilitation, and nutritional guidance. During her studies, Dr. Colón desired to both test her abilities further as well as reach out to a global community. Between 2010 and 2012 she traveled to the Grenadines, the Dominican Republic, and India offering free chiropractic care to over 4,000 people. Her commitment to promoting optimal health and well-being has been integral in freeing people from pain and increasing her patient's whole-body performance ever since. Her journey did not end there, after spending years running marathons alongside her mother and brother, in the fight against cancer; she was nominated to campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After 10 weeks she raised over 60K and was crowned the 2015 Woman of The Year. She went on to become Palm Beach Illustrated Top Chiropractor 2018 and Best of Palm Beach 2020 and 2021. Today, she serves her community as a living inspiration to us all and a daily reminder to fight for the things you believe in. As for her practice, Dr. Colón uses a "whole person approach." This approach to wellness involves discovering the root causes of pathology or dysfunction and making interventions and lifestyle adjustments that optimize one’s ability to function in day-to-day life. She looks to the spine when evaluating a patient's entire body and treats it accordingly, as she understands that complete health relies heavily on how body parts affect each other biomechanically. Using this unique system, Dr. Colón is able to help her patients accelerate and maintain their journey to good health. She says, “Don’t restrict your practice to the musculoskeletal; it’s much morIn the Adjusted Reality podcast, well-known athletes, celebrities, actors, chiropractors, influencers in the wellness industry, and other podcasters will talk with host Dr. Sherry McAllister, president, F4CP, about their experiences with health and wellness.
