Ep 128: Building a Lifestyle Medicine Based Health Coaching Program with Dr. Heather Hammerstedt Part 1

Dr. Heather Hammerstedt is an emergency medicine physician with a specialized board certification in lifestyle medicine, as well as additional certifications and trainings in integrative nutrition, health coaching, medical acupuncture, Ayurveda, and public and global health. She has 24 years of medical expertise and 20 years of health coaching experience, having gone to get her health coaching certificate during medical school (way back) when she realized the HUGE hole in our medical education around food and mindfulness and exercise. At this point, she’s put in 1000s of hours of deep diving into food and weight and mindset to put together a (kick a**) lifestyle transformation blueprint to get women to longterm health without products or BS, with real food and lifelong SKILLS for sustainable health futures… with a side effect of weight wellness. She also is the cofounder of Global Emergency Care, which has been working in emergency medicine education and capacity development in Uganda since 2007. Her days are spent in Idaho skiing, rafting, and playing outside with her two little crazy boys, a furry chocolate dog child, and a very entertaining husband.Some of the topics we discussed were:What a wholist (whole-ist) isHow Dr. Hammerstedt started on her journeyHow Dr. Hammerstedt made the switch from practicing medicine in a more traditional way to incorporating lifestyle medicine into her careThe process of learning the business and technology aspects of starting a businessWhat Dr. Hammerstedt’s program looks like nowHow to find the peace of your professional joyThe structure of Dr. Hammerstedt’s program/coaching businessAnd more!Learn more about me or schedule a FREE coaching call:https://www.joyfulsuccessliving.com/Join the Voices of Women Physicians Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/190596326343825/Connect with Dr. Hammerstedt:Email:[email protected] Business Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/wholisthealth/Business Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/wholisthealth Personal Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mommaemdoc/ Personal Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/hhammerstedtLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherhammerstedt/ Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/curatingyourwholehealth/ Linktree:@wholisthealthPodcast:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/curate-your-health/id1478410990
