Hello.
I am Heather.
I have dedicated my career to the fields of exercise science, nutrition, and wellness, helping individuals improve their health through evidence-based coaching and sustainable lifestyle changes. My journey began in the late 1980s, when the fitness industry was dominated by low-fat diets, excessive cardio, and highly restrictive approaches to weight management. Like many professionals at the time, I was taught the traditional "eat less, move more" philosophy—but over the years, I realized there was a better way.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Corporate Health & Wellness with a concentration in Exercise Science and have spent more than 30 years working as a personal trainer, fitness instructor, and nutrition coach. Throughout my career, I've helped clients build strength, improve metabolic health, lose weight, and create sustainable habits that support lifelong wellness.
Today, my passion is helping adults—especially women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond—understand the critical role strength training plays in healthy aging. As we age, maintaining muscle becomes essential for supporting metabolism, improving bone health, increasing balance and mobility, preserving independence, and enhancing overall quality of life. My goal is to help every client become stronger, not just smaller.
My credentials include Integrative Institute of Nutrition Certified Health Coach, NASM Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified GLP-1 Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach, and specialized training in hormonal health, emotional eating, behavior change, and metabolic wellness.
Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your relationship with food, navigate hormonal changes, begin strength training, or simply feel healthier and more energetic, my coaching is designed to meet you where you are and provide a clear, realistic path forward.
I believe lasting health is built on three simple principles:
Eat well with sustainable nutrition habits.
Build strength to protect your muscle and metabolism.
Create healthy routines you can maintain for life.
My mission isn't just to help you lose weight—it's to help you build a stronger, healthier body that supports you for years to come.
Meet Mike Hudspeth – Men's Health Coach
We're excited to welcome Mike Hudspeth to the Best Health Wellness team!
Mike's passion for health isn't something he discovered later in life—it's how he was raised.
Growing up on a large organic family farm, Mike learned firsthand the value of living off the land. He was raised drinking raw milk, eating hand-churned butter, fresh eggs, homegrown vegetables, and naturally raised beef and chicken. Those early experiences created the foundation for the philosophy he still lives by today: health begins with giving the body what it was designed to thrive on.
Mike is a 2012 top-tier graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and has spent more than 15 years studying integrative health, wellness, and lifestyle medicine.
His approach goes far beyond nutrition.
As Mike says, "Being a Health Coach is much more than just nutritional training."
He believes true health comes from looking at the whole person—physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors—not treating the body as a collection of disconnected parts.
His philosophy is simple:
Find the root cause. Don't just cover up symptoms with band-aids.
Mike is also an avid practitioner of everything he teaches. He believes lasting health comes from creating sustainable habits, using real food as medicine, staying active, and addressing the underlying reasons people don't feel their best.
Today, Mike specializes in helping men over 40 who want to regain the energy, strength, vitality, and confidence they once had. Whether you're struggling with low energy, weight gain, loss of muscle, declining motivation, or simply don't feel like yourself anymore, Mike's goal is to help you build a healthier future through practical lifestyle changes that last.
As Mike says:
"With the right healthful ingredients and motivation, I believe it is possible for most men to achieve the best shape of their lives."
If you're ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start building lifelong health, book your consultation today.
We'd love to help you get back to feeling your best.

Feedback from my clients…
-
"Heather has been amazing! I love the food she introduced me to but she also lets me be flexible.
I have guidelines but also a catered menu and shopping list.
I have already lost weight and I don’t feel like I’m starving or missing out.
I love the food I’m eating right now! Why didn’t I do this sooner?!"
-
"Very knowledgeable and personable!
Excellent communication, responds to my need for accountability and support.
Yummy food options!"
-
"I've been working with Heather for about four weeks now and I absolutely love her! She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and weight loss.
She encourages me on my bad days to do better and she's always there to answer any questions I have. I love that her meal plans encourage more of a lifestyle change than a diet."
-
"I don't understand how I am losing weight, because I am eating every 3 hours, but I have lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks after being STUCK for years! I love this! Thank you!!"
-
“Heather was excellent. She was so knowledgeable helpful and very in sync with my health journey.”
-
“Heather was amazing and informative. I definitely felt she understood my needs and is willing to help me achieve my nutritional goals.’
-
“Really took the time to get to know me and my lifestyle and I’m excited to work with her!’
-
"The meal plan is excellent! I love the recipes and the possibility of substitutions. Eating every 3-4 hours keeps my energy level steady throughout the day! Thank you!"
-
“Heather has been a very welcomed addition to my wellness journey this year and I am so thankful and appreciative of her guidance and constant positive energy.
She is so well informed and knowledgeable in her field, and has really helped me simplify my life and diet.
Just by giving me permission to eat real, healthy foods, I have dropped weight, I feel great and have so much more energy!! The personal attention she gives her clients makes you feel important and heard!!”
-
Things are going great—I lost another few pounds this week, and I can start to see that I'm losing weight in my arms and legs.
I've even had a few people ask me if I've lost weight, which is always nice to hear! :)
I am actually really enjoying all the foods and I'm trying new things. I tried barley for the first time this week, and I think I actually like it more than brown rice. It's really filling and quite delicious.
I did the 1750-calorie plan on Monday when I cycled. It was awesome, and I had a ton of energy! The rest of the week, I did the 1500, and the only day I’ve been hungry was today for some reason.
BTW—the recipes are so delicious too! The lamb shanks were very tasty, and the mussels were another nice treat!
Thanks so much!"
-
"Can I just say how much I love this?
I NEVER have to think about food. I just screenshot the plan on my phone for the day, and as the time comes, I check the photo and eat whatever it is
This makes meal prep for a work day a breeze!
All the recipes sound so good, I'm especially excited for the sweet potato fries—they're my favorite! Also, the soup recipe was amazing. I love a good soup and one-pot meal!”
-
"Heather always takes my feedback and gives me exactly what I’m looking for!
The recipes are delicious, and I’m never hungry.
She listens to my personal challenges and gives me practical advice while taking the time to explain things in detail.
She’s made me feel much more confident on this journey and like I have everything I need to succeed!
I’m VERY happy with how I feel & look since connecting with Heather and can’t recommend this program enough."
-
“Wow 5 star service!
Above and beyond the call of nutrition…Heather and her team are incredible at coming along side of your goals and helping you make them happen! Working with Healthy with Heather has been a game changer for me, my family and our whole organization!”
-
"I can’t recommend Heather enough." As a working mom, finding time to exercise felt impossible until I started training with her — she genuinely understands the constraints of my schedule and makes every single 30-minute session count. There’s no wasted time, no fluff, just focused, effective workouts tailored to what my body actually needs.
Beyond the sessions themselves, she’s given me practical diet and lifestyle guidance that actually fits into a busy mom’s real life — nothing extreme or unsustainable, just realistic changes that make a difference. Honestly, she’s one of the biggest reasons I’ve been able to stay consistent with exercise at all. If you’re a busy parent looking for a trainer who gets it, look no further. -
"Heather is so helpful with the nutrition classes. She helps me plan my weeks out, finds recipes for me, and most importantly - she keeps me accountable!”
-
I’ve been working with Heather, and I can’t recommend her enough! She truly listens to my goals, encourages me every step of the way, and always knows how to motivate me to push harder during my workouts.
In my 2.5 years of working out, I’ve never felt this motivated or this close to reaching my weight goal. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and excited to keep going.
I’m so grateful to have found a trainer who genuinely cares about her clients’ success. I can’t wait to continue working with Heather and see how much more we accomplish together!
