Founder, Health Coach
Heather Hammerstedt, MD MPH
Founder of Wholist and WholistRX. Certified and specialized in menopause medicine, weight management, lifestyle medicine, sexual health, and an ER doc.
I’ve watched my friends, and myself, struggle to figure out what the “right” thing to do is with nutrition and weight management.
We are all bright, successful, educated and powerful mommas, many of us with medical or other higher-level degrees and great jobs. But the amount of noise and conflicting advice was overwhelming and we all felt confused and shamed by our “willpower” issues around food.
So, I deep dived (because I’m a biochemist and a doctor, with training in integrative nutrition, and naturally persistent and stubborn).
I started sleeping better, focused better at work, lost the last bit of my weight and at 40 found my best body and my best fitness.
I love talking to clients and sharing what I know. I’m told I am kind and supportive as a coach and that I help people make decisions within their own life with no judgement.
I’m also an emergency physician, a mom, a wife, a global health educator, and a believer in the capacity of people to work together to create impactful solutions. I’m happy to be on your team!

*does not constitute a doctor-patient relationship or medical advice.
Every Wholist coach meets the WholeYou Coach Standard, every time.
