Hear From Those Who’ve Transformed Their Health
Meet Michele, Your Nutritionist
Hi, I am Michele Chevalley Hedge, a nutritional medicine practitioner, author of 3 health books, and international wellbeing expert and presenter. However... before I was in this health career, I worked in the time-poor corporate world. So, I get it!
I too was exhausted and lacked clarity. I too was bloated, stressed, stress-addicted, self-doubting and sleep deprived.
It is not easy to be at the top of your career and be leading innovative, resilient, flexible, creative, strategic, compassionate, and effective communication if you are on a blood sugar roller coaster, inflamed and in pain, lacking sleep, anxious, depressed, have gut issues, low immune system, hangry, and oh let's not forget tired oh so tired but genuinely wired! Ugh! Who's got time for that!
And, did you know that 43% of people say that they get too busy at work and forget to eat, while 39% skip lunch to finish their work as quickly as possible. While common and even tacitly encouraged, working through lunch in the name of productivity is misguided.
Neither party is well served when business needs take precedence over the most basic human needs. And further to that, poor nutritional choices result in worse mental and physical wellbeing, which greatly impacts performance at work.
If only I knew back then, what I now know...
I would have loved for an expert to inspire and educate with evidence-based research on how nutrition and lifestyle medicine could have significantly impacted my workplace performance, leadership skills, effective communication, mental well-being, and productivity.
Which is exactly why I created these Science of Workplace Wellbeing Workshops - to educate and inspire YOU to make real and effective changes to your health and wellbeing for lasting results both personally and professionally.
