Dr Heather Hammerstedt (MD MPH MSCP FACEP) is an emergency medicine physician with specialized certifications in lifestyle medicine, menopause medicine, and integrative nutrition, as well as additional trainings in health coaching, medical acupuncture, Ayurveda, public and global health. She has 22 years of medical expertise and 22 years coaching experience, having gone to get her health coaching certificate during medical school 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 midlife 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. These services are available nationally as a coaching program (wholisthealth.com) as well as telemedicine practice in Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Kansas and Tennessee (wholistrx.com). She's also cofounder of Global Emergency Care, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2008, dedicated to strengthening emergency care systems and provider education. With a focus on sustainability, excellence, and true partnership, we collaborate with local and international teams to expand life-saving services and raise the standard of emergency care. Our work brings hope and a healthier future to all.
