When physician, author, radio host and international lecturer Dr. Evelyn Higgins
says she's swum the ocean deep and power-walked the earth over 500 cross country
miles to pursue her dreams, she means it. Her experiences in disciplines
from athletics and oceanography to medicine and metaphysics have given her a
profound perspective on life - and she is bursting to share it all with the world.
Dr. Evelyn Higgins' examinations extend far beyond the body. She is a physician who
has faithfully served patients one-on-one for a quarter of a century. But hurdles in
her own life led her to the realization that there are - not one - but "Four Pillars of
Health: The Physical, The Emotional, The Intellectual and The Spiritual." They all
must be carefully calibrated for one to be stellar in being. Dr. Higgins has traveled
a treacherous journey to spread this philosophy with certainty and intimacy. "I have
been my own science experiment," she says with endearing self-effacing laughter
that flows frequently in her conversations. "I walk the walk and talk the talk! My life
is the perfect lesson of faith, owning one's own health - physical and emotional -
and growing everyday. Life is a gift. I teach people to live out that gift."
Evelyn Higgins' life continued a path of normal peaks and valleys until 2006 when
she suffered a TIA mini stroke - a major wake up call for the unrepentant
workaholic. "You would have never looked at me as a picture of unhealthiness," she
begins. "It was the culmination of way too much stress in my life - being a single
parent with a business and taking it all on myself. I just kept pressing through but
you can't do it. The stroke was a message from 'The Big Guy': 'I'm stopping you so
you will sit back, take a look at your life and get some balance.' I needed to
understand why I am here, how did I get here and what do I need to do to make the
proper changes."
As a New York Radio Festival Award nominee for her program "Your Body is a
Wonderland" - now set for syndication on March 26, 2011 via Main Street Radio
Network as "The Dr. Evelyn Higgins Show" after four years of growth first at
Georgia's WBCX-FM and now at WDUN 550 AM/102.9 FM - and the authoress
of the inspirational books The Mystery of Happiness-A Step By Step Journal of
Gratitude and the forthcoming The Three Meetings, Evelyn is preparing to uplift the
attentive with powerful salvos of life affirming information
