Healthstyle is more than a program—it’s a mindset shift that empowers women to design lives rooted in balance, vitality, and joy. Dr. Angela Walker shares how her journey from Obstetrics and Gynecology to a wellness-focused practice shaped her approach to integrating mind, body, spirit, and even financial well-being. Drawing on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—nutrition, movement, sleep, community, stress management, and avoiding risky substances—she explains how small, intentional changes can transform long-term health. Dr. Walker also highlights her work with Girlology, a program teaching young girls to embrace and honor their bodies, and offers practical self-care tools like prayer, meditation, walking, and gratitude practices to inspire listeners to see their health as a gift, not a problem to solve.
