Hi! Today, I’m talking about my journey to this podcast. Here’s a little about me and the resources I talked about in the episode.
Heather Sayers Lehman, MS, NBC-HWC, NASM-CPT, CSCS, CIEC, CWP
Heather has been supporting health and wellness for over thirty years. She is a TEDx speaker, author, and weight-inclusive wellness strategist. Heather created Overcoming U – Cultivating Employee Well-Being to bring virtual wellness solutions focused on behavior change to the workplace. Heather’s experience in health coaching, personal training, and intuitive eating counseling help her to create comprehensive health and well-being courses. They support mindset shifts and practical skill sets to improve stress, energy, and overall health.
Heather founded Alliance for Weight-Inclusive Health (AWIH) to support improving the many facets of health without focusing on weight. AWIH works to eradicate health misinformation, weight stigma, and eating disorders while improving healthcare interaction quality, body image, and health sustaining behavior adoption. She educates individuals and trains other health providers on weight-inclusive policies and practices.
