Dr. Angelina Ix-Ik’ Londoño: From Cancer Research to COMMUNITY Wellness ( BURNOUT Recovery, Health Equity)
Description
Welcome back to The Global Latin Factor Podcast—where we talk Latino everything.
Today’s guest is Dr. Angelina Ix-Ik’ Londoño (PhD, NBC-HWC), founder of Ix-Ik Health & Wellness. Her story is the definition of resilience: she grew up between cultures (“Made in Peru,” born in Honduras, raised in Chicago with Colombian parents), navigated dyslexia, earned her PhD, worked in cancer research, and later made a bold pivot into community wellness—especially for Spanish-speaking communities.
In this conversation we get into identity, language, and what it feels like to be “not enough” for either side—plus how she turned that into purpose. We also talk about her journey through genetics and oncology research, the reality of burnout during the pandemic, and what health coaching actually is (and how it’s different from internet coaching). Angelina breaks down her 4 pillars—self, community, culture, and nature—and explains why reconnecting with nature, grounding, and community support can be a real reset for your nervous system.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in the same routine, this episode will hit.
