Girls Talk Healthy Aging

Sit much? In this episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski “sit” down with Debbie Bellenger, the powerhouse behind DB Fitness and Wellness Solutions, to tackle one of today’s most pressing issues: the health crisis in the American workforce.

With more employees sitting longer, gaining weight, and struggling with rising mental health challenges like anxiety and depression, workplace wellness has become a top concern for employers and employees alike. Debbie shares her expert insights on how companies can take meaningful action to promote health and fitness among their teams, reduce healthcare costs, and create happier, more productive workplaces.

Debbie emphasizes the role of leadership in driving change, explaining how organizations that invest in wellness programs not only attract and retain top talent but also improve overall employee satisfaction and performance. She offers actionable strategies for companies to encourage movement, foster social connection, and combat the physical and mental toll of sedentary work.

But what if your workplace isn’t on board with wellness initiatives? Debbie provides empowering advice for becoming your own wellness ambassador, advocating for your health, and building better habits even without company support. From practical tools to boost your physical and mental health to the importance of social connection in our increasingly isolated world, this episode is packed with tips to help you thrive—inside and outside the workplace.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you motivated to take charge of your well-being and bring positive change to your workplace and beyond.
