29: Making the Healthy Choice, the EASY Choice! with Dr. Meagan Grega

Meet Dr. Meagan Grega! Lehigh Valley's leading voice for Lifestyle Medicine. She co-founded The Kellyn Foundation to help members of the community "Make the Healthy Choice, the EASY choice"! Not to mention all the amazing work she's doing beyond her own community, especially within the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. 

Who IS Dr. Grega?
– Superstar of Lifestyle Medicine
– Modern day “Shaman” (she really is a compassionate healer)
– The GOAT - not only is she the “Greatest of All Time, but will eat anything with fiber!
– Public Speaker Extraordinaire including a TEDx Talk
– Chair of the 2023 American College of Lifestyle Medicine Conference
– and so many more awesome things 

Today’s conversation with Dr. Meagan Grega was amazing! Not only is she an engaging speaker, but a true trailblazer when it comes to Lifestyle Medicine. Her passion to preserve and improve the health of children and families is what drove her to co-found The Kellyn Foundation in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, where she also serves as Chief Medical Officer. 

Kellyn brings a “healthy” to life in the entire community through the healthy neighborhood immersion strategy, with 4 main initiatives.
