In this episode of Movement Health Matters, we talk with Courtenay Higgins, the President & Co-Founder of Advanta Health Solutions. With over 25 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, Courtenay founded Advanta alongside her brother, combining their passions for tech and communications to create a digital health platform that helps people take control of their healthy behaviors, rewarding them for movement and physical activity. Courtenay is passionate about making health and wellness more accessible to people of all economic backgrounds.
