Glen Alex

Glen Alex's life's work is about total health. Glen believes that a healthy body, mind, and spirit are collectively the full expression of humanity. So, health is at the forefront of her life. Whether in writing, podcasting, social work, charity work, tennis, or interpersonal relations, Glen puts her healthiest foot forward to make overall health and wellness the primary focus of her endeavors because of her lifelong belief in health as the ticket to personal empowerment and growth, connection to God, and connection to joy.

Health became a passion for Glen early on, beginning with boundaries. The first inkling she had about health was in personal relationships. Glen is the youngest of ten children, seven girls and three boys, and she learned a lot from observing how others around her behaved toward one another. She was very attentive to the nuances and dynamics of the person-to-person interactions and the environment around her. Glen absorbed meanings not apparent to the naked eye or the physical senses.

Witnessing the relational dynamics among family members, friends, teachers, Glen was so engaged by the nuance of interaction—when people smiled, laughed, cringed, and when pain crossed their faces. She determined as a child that deliberately negative interactions cause pain to others, and she decided she would not emulate them. Glen clearly remembers vowing to not be the aggressor and cause another person's pain. She saw boundaries respected and boundaries violated in real time, and it stuck. Glen then filtered her relational experiences and those she was privy to and categorized them. From that, Glen's work expanded as other areas of health revealed themselves to her and she developed a unique and no-nonsense perspective to help others lead their healthiest and most joyful life.

Glen is the author of Living In Total Health, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Marquis Who's Who Inductee, Host of The Glen Alex Show podcast, Mental Health Educator of the Year 2025 (USA).
