Asante launches limited-series health podcasts

Visitors to Asante’s popular Facebook page may have noticed a new feature: A six-episode podcast, “Unlock Movement with Asante,” in which our own health and wellbeing experts share tips and insights.

This is Asante’s first foray into podcasting, a format that allows listeners to subscribe and access content at any time of day on their desktop or mobile device. The inaugural series features Asante Health Promotion’s Tessa Hulse and Valencia Rollins as rotating hosts. Guests will include health educator Alisia Cook; Barry Egener, MD, who leads the Asante Wellbeing Program; and Hailey Einck, PA, who specializes in physical conditioning.

The podcast is an extension of Asante’s social media campaign, #AsanteMoveToWellness, which features fitness challenges with prize drawings.

“We wanted to create something that would live on after the Move to Wellness campaign,” says Harrison Bent, digital media strategist for Asante Communications and Marketing and series producer.

By using a “micropodcast” format, the topics and hosts can change from series to series. For the inaugural series, which drops a new episode each Friday, listeners will learn about turning around a sedentary lifestyle, preventing chronic disease, the mind-body connection, the power of habit, aging gracefully and integrating exercise into everyday life.

“We want to meet people where they are,” Bent says. “Whether they’ve been active or need to get back into regular activity.”

The podcasts come in audio and video form and are posted on Asante’s Your Health Matters blog, Facebook, Instagram and X (Twitter). You can listen to them on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music by searching “Unlock Movement with Asante.”
