Focusing on your wellbeing and happiness isn’t just a good idea, it’s good for you, your health, and your work performance.
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.

Workplace conditions can affect employees at the physical, mental, or emotional level and enhance or harm their well-being. Studies have found differences among occupational groups in the prevalence of obesity, cardiovascular conditions (eg, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol), and other health indicators, including physical activity and diet quality. Work environment can also influence employees’ mental health and stress levels.

Healthy eating patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet, are associated with better mental health than “unhealthy” eating patterns, such as the Western diet.
The effects of certain foods or dietary patterns on energy, glycaemia, immune activation, and the gut microbiome may play a role in the relationships between food and mood.

Poor nutrition may be a causal factor in the experience of low mood (low mental resilience) and improving diet may help to protect not only the physical health but also the mental health of the population.

Work-related exhaustion and emotional impairment can lower the individual's tolerance to perceiving events as stressful as well as reinforce the stress response, and contribute to difficulties with productivity, effective communication, cognitive function and more. Workers employed in occupations with critical tasks may be more susceptible to exhaustion, emotional strain and poorer sleep due to increased and prolonged work pressure.

Poor sleep of employees has often induced many negative consequences, such as a decline in in-role performance, poor interpersonal relationships in the workplace, a decline in organizational citizenship behaviors, and an increase in unethical workshop behaviors, thereby further negatively affecting the routine work and orderly operation of various organizations.

There is increasing evidence that the composition of the resident bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract can influence the brain and behavior, particularly with respect to cognitive function. Cognitive function encompasses the life-long process of learning, both long- and short-term processes.

The number of individuals experiencing mental disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression) has significantly risen in recent years. Therefore, it is essential to seek prevention and treatment strategies for mental disorders. Several gut microbiota are demonstrated to affect mental health through microbiota–gut–brain axis, and the gut microbiota dysbiosis can be related to mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders.
