Fuel a vibrant, healthy workforce 

Why should you invest in your employees' health? 

According to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity costs U.S. companies an estimated $13 billion per year. Old fashioned restrictive approaches to diet and exercise haven't helped so far and may actually contribute to the costs. In fact, many employees are preoccupied with ineffective yo-yo dieting, compounding the risks to their health and robbing them of their time and attention.

The result? Lost productivity, negative health consequences, and burgeoning costs.

A worthwhile investment! 

  • 70% of all illnesses are due to lifestyle-related causes
  • Healthy employees are more productive on the job, have higher morale, experience fewer injuries and accidents, and return to the job more quickly after an injury.
  • Employers who invest in worksite health promotion programs can see a return of $3 to $6 for every dollar invested over a three to five year period!

Not the same old thing...

Am I Hungry® is such a refreshing change from other weight management programs.  It is exciting to see employees let go of their restrictions around food and dieting; you can see the relief in their faces and their attitudes.  This is a new paradigm that promotes slow, steady improvement over time rather than rapid weight loss. When employees learn to trust themselves again and know they can rely on their own instincts to lead them to better health, they have a new sense of freedom that is exhilarating!
