#29: Leke Asong: Your Natural State of Health, Freedom, & Vitality

Creative Status is a podcast about using creativity as a vehicle for improving your life by deconstructing ego, integrating the shadow self, and designing and manifesting a real life. Every episode explores how the creative process can help you GROW REAL by moving towards wholeness in yourself by making the unconscious conscious.

In this episode of Creative Status, I had the pleasure of interviewing Leke Asong, a practising NHS GP, Functional Medicine Doctor and Wellness Consultant. The interview focused on the health choices that people make, the limitations of the biomedical model, and how we can return to our natural state of vitality and freedom by being real.

Through his personal experience of suffering from poor gut and overall health, Leke came to the realisation that the conventional medical approach did not have all the answers, especially when it comes to chronic disease. This is when he discovered functional medicine, which seeks to find the root cause of disease and treats the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We discussed the limitations of the biomedical model, which focuses solely on diagnosing and treating disease, and does not address the underlying causes of illness. Leke emphasized the importance of taking a holistic approach to health, which includes addressing mental, emotional, and even 'spiritual' factors.

Leke also talked about the importance of being real and authentic, and how our societal norms and pressures can lead us to ignore our own needs and desires. He stressed the need to listen to our bodies, and to make choices that support our health and wellbeing.

Overall, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in taking a holistic approach to their health and wellbeing, and for those who are looking for alternative approaches to healing. Leke's insights and expertise provide valuable guidance on how we can live more authentic, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
