Speakers in this session...

  • Dr. Alessandra Colón

    Dr. Alessandra Colón DC

    Dr. Alessandra Colón has a deep compassion for those seeking improved health and wellness fueled by personal experience. At the young age of 14, Dr. Colón was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer. 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. 

    During her studies, Dr. Colon desired to both test her abilities further as well as reach out to a global community.  Between the years of 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 and was crowned the 2015 Woman of The Year. She also took home 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.

    Most recently, Dr. Alessandra Colón is the first in her profession to pioneer a national television series. Bringing chiropractic to the forefront on TLC’s newest show “Crack Addicts.” Intending to break the connotation surrounding the Chiropractic profession and showcasing that is not just about the “cracks,” when it comes to healing. She also made a debut on the “TODAY Show”. Her segment was titled, “Myth vs. Fact: Everything You Need to Know About Optimal Body Alignment from a Chiropractor.” Her notoriety has now led her to speaking engagements all over the nation, accredited courses, and treating patients from all over the world in her new state-of-the-art wellness and spa center.

    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. She says, “Don’t restrict your practice to the musculoskeletal; it’s much more than that. There is nothing better than allowing your body to heal itself.”

    John E. Lewis Ph.D.

    John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™ (https://www.drlewisnutrition.com) and past full-time and current Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies in his research career. During that time, he either directly raised or indirectly supported raising over $23 million in grants, gifts, and contracts for research studies and clinical trials, and educational programs for medical students. Much of his research has focused on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplementation, exercise, and medical devices on various aspects of human health and disease. He and his colleagues have been continually searching for ways to help people achieve and maintain health through natural treatments that align with our physiology.

    In addition to his research, Dr. Lewis has been an invited national and international lecturer and guest speaker at conferences and workshops and as a guest on television shows, where he discusses not only the findings of his research but to provide guidance and recommendations as an expert in the field of health and wellness. Furthermore, he has over 180 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, where his work has first appeared in print, including some of the leading scientific journals, such as AIDS and Behavior, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, American Journal of Public Health, Journal of the International AIDS Society, Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Nutrition, and Cancer: An International Journal, Sports Medicine, Stroke, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, and The Gerontologist. He has also mentored many different students, from undergraduates to post-doctoral trainees, in how to conduct clinical research and apply the principles of health promotion into daily practice.  His seminal publication from the study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJr0sxmxGI) about how dietary supplementation can improve brain health.

    Dr. Lewis also embodies the model of health and wellness by eating a whole-food, plant-based diet for over 26 years, taking certain key dietary supplements, and through a rigorous, daily exercise training program. John has a passion for educating others about the value of nutrition, exercise, and health, and he will continue to study the application of clinical nutrition for the benefit of mankind.
