Employee wellness just got a makeover...literally! Local lifestyle medicine coach launches new program based on her book that's both entertaining and educational!

What do you get when you mix the science of lifestyle medicine with the energy of a game show and the inspiration of a makeover series...?!

Melyssa Allen, double board-certified lifestyle medicine coach and author of Healthy Living Doesn't Have to SUCK: Drop the Struggle, Forget the Fads, and Create a Healthy Lifestyle You Can Love, is proud to announce the official launch of her signature wellness experience: The Lifestyle Medicine Makeover!

This high-energy, research-backed program brings a refreshing twist to employee wellness by combining science with entertainment. Delivered in a “game show meets goal setting” format, The Lifestyle Medicine Makeover uses interactive challenges and expert coaching to help employees take sustainable steps toward better health and improved well-being.

With 6 in 10 U.S. adults living with at least one chronic disease, and the estimated organizational cost of poor health estimated at $3,600 per employee per year, companies are seeking solutions that go beyond yoga mats and free snacks. Research shows that evidence-based lifestyle changes can significantly improve energy, focus, and morale. The Lifestyle Medicine Makeover tackles these challenges head-on with a bold, behavior-based solution grounded in psychology and performance science.

What makes The Lifestyle Medicine Makeover stand out is its unique blend of entertainment and evidence. With content and activities inspired by popular reality TV and game shows, this high-energy program delivers science-backed strategies in a fun, engaging format. The workshop also incorporates mindset coaching and practical tools that help teams boost performance on and off the clock! Unlike one-size-fits-all presentations, each experience is designed to reflect the group’s unique culture and industry. It's built for team development days, leadership retreats, employee wellness weeks, and professional conferences. And the transformation doesn’t stop when the session ends! Participants receive access to follow-up resources and optional group coaching to support long-term habit adoption and real results.

The Lifestyle Medicine Makeover is a pre-packaged, comprehensive program combining the evidence-based fields of lifestyle medicine and positive psychology to cover topics like:

• Nutrition - Learn about the benefits of fiber-filled foods to keep you full and fueled all day long!
• Physical activity - Explore the benefits of movement for your health and strategies for increasing physical activity!
• Stress management - Discuss ways to better recognize, manage, and recovery from stress to promote your well-being!
• Sleep - Explore your Sleep Boosters and Sleep Busters to get better rest so you can feel your best!
• Social connection - Examine the well-being benefits of positive social connections, purpose, nature, and more!
• Habits - Learn about how habits work and ways you can let go of old habits and grow new habits!
• Mindset - Understand how the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behavior impact your progress.
• DESIGN Your Lifestyle Medicine Makeover! Together, we'll use our signature framework to create your action plan for success so you can build a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable AND enjoyable!

Allen says, "I've been facilitating many health and wellness programs over the years, and I'm so excited to finally create my own passion project to share the Healthy Living Doesn't Have to SUCK message in this way to make an even bigger impact to support people's lifestyle transformations!" With her prior experience working for the employee health and well-being teams of local healthcare organizations, she curated her programming to share realistic, doable strategies for high achieving professionals to incorporate healthier habits into their already busy lives in order to support their well-being and optimize their performance. 

Whether you’re leading a corporate team, nonprofit, or healthcare organization, The Lifestyle Medicine Makeover helps teams design health habits they’ll actually stick with, and enjoy the process along the way! The program is currently welcoming early adopters who want to bring a fresh, research-backed approach to employee wellness.
