An interview with Joe Nadglowski, President and CEO at Obesity Action Coalition

In fact, in our advocacy work around comprehensive care, we say people should have access to nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and then, and then medicine, surgery, whatever else they need, like that comprehensive care. And I think in my ideal world, if I could wave a wand and create the, the new healthcare system, all of those services would be reimbursed, right?

And so we really created this new vision statement about movement as our rallying cry. And when you actually sat down and forced that to be the lens through which everything passes, it was magic. It was truly magic.

And so it's a really great synergy where the gym is extremely important, and what you're doing there to move towards your goals, but then we can take over and stay within our scope of practice when we're talking about health behaviors, talking about nutrition behaviors.

An interview with Devin Lebrun, SVP Innovation & Strategic Partnerships, and MV Shook, Healthcare & Innovation Manager, at Orangetheory Fitness

There was no lack of care across the people that we talked to and an interest in helping their patients. What we found was there was a lack of tools and support for them to do that, a lack of understanding of how to do it, and the goal would be to help support them there and create quite a frictionless process for them to just integrate it, because there's no lack of a desire to do it, which is really, really helpful to bring this movement to life.
Devin Lebrun

With your work and with the resources you've helped us create, we're able to then help educate those providers who are already in our studios of hey, like, if you love this and you're helping treat someone and you think this might be a good solution for them, too, or you have other healthcare provider friends that are looking for that movement solution that they love, like we would love to be something that they consider for that.

An interview with Dr. Cate Collings, cardiologist, executive health coach and past president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Once this education piece gets done, you can't put that genie back, that knowledge back in the bottle.  Once a medical student or a resident has seen the life changing effects of using exercise and a dose intervention, using nutrition, they just can't not see it anymore.

An interview with Brendan Kelly, Owner and CEO of The Well Being Counseling and Fitness Center and Dr. Ben Davidson, Chair of The Well Being Foundation Board of Directors and a practicing physician.

And so we work with people, kind of try to meet them where they're at and come up with a concrete plan for movement for them, which then, when it's finished, the client gets a copy of the movement plan, and the therapist gets a copy of the movement plan. And then, on an ongoing basis, the therapist will review the plan with the client. If the client is doing well with the plan, they're exercising, they're moving their bodies, then the therapist is is really saying, How do you feel?” Because that's our focus. We always want to bring the exercise back to how does it make you feel?

An interview with Taylor Walsh, Founder and Director of WholeHealthED: The Center for Whole Health Learning in K-12.

As you referred to, each one of these practice areas or domains has a movement driving, whether it's mindfulness or time in nature or nutrition and exercise.  They are well entrenched, well established movements already. So we need a movement of movements, and that's what the coalition would be intended to try to pull together…”

An interview with Dr. Euan Ashley, Chair of the Department of Medicine at Stanford University.

I mean, it's really my favorite fact of any fact in the world, and it comes up because a lot of the time, and you just made this point well, that people feel they don't have time to exercise. And I get that. And there are lots of ways we can think of helping people answer that question, but, but the way I usually start, which I'm not sure what they think when I tell them this, but, but it's the way I usually start, is by telling them that you definitely have time to exercise, because data has clearly shown that one minute of exercise will buy you five minutes of extra life.

An interview with Simon Matthews, Director at the Global Positive Health Institute.

We know that social, social connection, close relationships, lead to pro health choices, in other words, where we're more likely to make decisions about our health that are good for us when we're socially connected. And there's all sorts of mechanisms for that, including just the idea of social influence, including the idea of role modeling or vicarious learning.
