Episode Thirty-Five: Lisa Bell Henson, RN, MBA, The Whole Health Collective
Sat Jan 10 2026
What does it really mean to age well and how much power do we actually have over the process?
In this episode, we're joined by Lisa Bell Henson, RN, MBA, a holistic nurse coach, educator, and community leader whose career has spanned from the ICU bedside to the corporate boardroom and everywhere in between.
With over 25 years of experience in healthcare, fitness, and wellness education, Lisa shares how lifestyle choices profoundly shape the aging process, especially for women. Drawing from her work as a former ICU nurse, pharmaceutical and nutritional executive, group fitness instructor, and adjunct professor at the Alice Walton School of Medicine, Lisa offers a grounded, compassionate perspective on health that blends science, movement, and whole-person care.
We talk about:
• How lifestyle impacts aging more than we’ve been led to believe
• Why community connection is essential to healing
• Her work with the Whole Health Collective and the vision behind The Hub, a new space for community healing and connection in Northwest Arkansas
Lisa is also a longtime health writer, having authored the first fitness and health column for the Evansville Courier & Press and continuing to write for the Enterprise Leader. Most recently, she was a Weaver Award recipient, supporting her mission to inspire positive lifestyle change at the community level.
This conversation is honest, empowering, and deeply human — perfect for anyone curious about aging, wellness, and living with intention.
