How Small Changes Can Make Big, Healthy Differences

In 2020, the Army implemented the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program, which emphasizes five factors—physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual and sleep. It has been billed as “the largest investment in Soldier readiness” in Army history. BG Deydre Teyhen and SGT (Ret.) Spencer Posey are leading researchers on H2F and have overseen the implementation of numerous programs across the Army’s ranks. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with BG Teyhen and SGT (Ret.) Posey to discuss their personal health and fitness journeys, some of the lessons they’ve learned along the way and how carrying around an apple makes a huge difference.

Guests: 

BG Deydre Teyhen, Commanding General, Medical Readiness Command, Pacific, and Director Defense Health Network Indo-Pacific, Defense Health Agency

SGT (Ret.) Spencer Posey, U.S. Army, Booz Allen Hamilton Lead Scientist, Human Performance
