Weight Loss and Mental Health: Creating Holistic Benefits Beyond the Scale

Weight loss programs often revolve around achieving a caloric deficit: eating less and exercising more. But one's mental health can play a big role in one's relationship with one's body, food and more. Bottom line: If employers want to run a successful weight loss benefit program that truly considers whole-person health, then they can't ignore mental health.

Attendees will learn about:

• How conditions like obesity and depression are incredibly linked, and how certain mental health conditions (even ADHD) can impact one's weight.
• The stigmas associated with bigger bodies and how that can impact someone's weight-loss journey.
• How a mental wellness program can address the stressors making one's weight-loss journey harder.
