For this week’s rebroadcast, I’m featuring Rebecca Johnson’s interview on Mindful Eating in the Workplace. If you haven’t heard me mention this, I took over her role as Director of Workplace Wellness for Am I Hungry? and she now has a full time gig at Corporate Fitness Works. Rebecca is the one who introduced me to AIH, Mindful Eating and a whole new paradigm around weight. Nothing but mad respect for her!
Workplace wellness programs tend to focus on obesity and ways to get employees to lose weight. Unfortunately, many organizations rely on weight loss methods that don’t work and may reinforce restrictive eating, yo-yo dieting and ultimately, more weight gain.
In this conversation, Rebecca and I talk about how she got her start into the health and wellness industry, how we can help push the wellness profession forward and the tenets of the Am I Hungry training.

One area that Jen has not yet covered over the life of her podcast, Redesigning Wellness, is the topic of mental health. She found today’s guest, Joseph Rauch, from his articles on Huffington Post that discuss mental health in the workplace.
The heart of this episode is to open up a discussion about mental health and take listeners into a deeper understanding of what one faces when wrestling and coping with a mental illness.
Joseph will graciously share his own story of what it was like to live with anxiety depressive disorder throughout his formative years and now, as an adult in the workplace. Joseph will also share valuable insights regarding how to approach mental and chronic illness in the workplace and how starting the conversation is an incredible step towards awareness and change.
