An important and often ignored part of wellness is physical fitness. Often it can be difficult to start exercising, either because of a lack of motivation or because you don’t know how to start. One effective option may be joining a research study on exercise with Green Mountain Health Care/Expand Health Research, a laboratory focusing on integrative medicine and wellness research in several different areas.

Joe Swift, one of the team members for Green Mountain Health Care/Expand Health Research, works on studies as an exercise physiologist. Swift is a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer by the National Academy of Sports Medicine, a Board Certified Fitness Coach by the American Natural Wellness Coaching Board and has Level 4 Fitness Coaching credentials through Certified Professional Development in the UK. This is all in addition to certificates in nutrition and health coaching as well as his 20-plus years of coaching experience.

Green Mountain Health Care/Expand Health Research has an extensive team of qualified consultants depending on the research study design. Swift is an excellent example of this team, as well as their commitment to expanding their skills and training. Green Mountain Health Care/Expand Health Research invites people who want to participate in research studies, from clinical to device, looking at things like acupuncture, energy healing, biohacking, longevity and more. If you have an interest, give them a call and set up a time to tour the lab.
