Meet the Experts Behind WellSteps
The future of employee wellness isn’t built by software alone. It’s shaped by researchers, strategists, behavior-change experts, and leaders who have spent decades studying what truly improves employee health, engagement, and outcomes. Built on decades of workplace wellness research and continued through experienced leadership and expert guidance, WellSteps combines science, strategy, and human support to help organizations create healthier workplaces that drive meaningful outcomes.
Dr. Steve Aldana
Researcher. Author. Professor. Workplace Wellness Pioneer. Founder of WellSteps.
Dr. Steve Aldana, was an enthusiast of academia from an early age. He completed his college journey with a degree in physical education, along with minors in mathematics and geology. The culmination of his academic pursuits was marked by master’s and doctorate degrees, coupled with a teaching and research role at a university. Nevertheless, his most profound insights were gained during consultancy with companies implementing worksite wellness programs.
His speaking engagements across the U.S. and guidance for worksites’ exceptional wellness programs exemplified his dedication. For him, facilitating behavior change and witnessing remarkable health improvements stood as profoundly rewarding life pursuits. Over two decades in academia, he contributed extensively to research, authored five books, and published numerous research articles. Yet, it was the divide between academia and practical applications that left him yearning for more. In 2007, Dr. Aldana, a tenured full-professor at Brigham Young University, courageously left his secure post, recognizing that his impact on changing American behaviors would be limited within the academic sphere.
His resounding belief is that most chronic diseases and deaths in developed nations stem from modifiable factors like nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco use. The solution lies in changing behaviors, a straightforward yet transformative notion. Unburdened by academic walls, Dr. Aldana founded WellSteps, rooted in evidence-based wellness, sustainable behavior change, and measurable outcomes, that remain central to the WellSteps mission today. Thereby, contributing to a nationwide endeavor to enhance the health of all Americans.
His vision became institutionalized, operationalized, and continues through the leadership, research foundation, and employee wellness company he built. The lasting impact of Dr. Steven Aldana continues to shape the wellness industry. His decades of research, leadership, and innovation helped shape the foundation of the company and continue to influence the WellSteps approach today.
Dr. Troy Adams
Researcher. Author. Wellness Measurement Innovator. Exercise Physiologist.
Troy Adams, an advocate for healthy living, embarked on his journey into the world of wellness during his freshman year when he took an anatomy class that captivated him by the intricacies of the human body. Fueled by this fascination, his personal wellness experiences, and a strong desire to assist others, he pursued a degree in Exercise Physiology. Holding an ACSM certification as a Health/Fitness Director, Troy’s dedication to understanding the body led him to a doctorate pursuit.
Enrolling at UT Austin in 1991, Troy’s academic path took an unexpected turn as he pioneered a method to quantify wellness. This innovation garnered global attention, generating emails from around the world. An accomplished academic, Troy authored numerous articles, delivered lectures, and consulted across the United States and internationally. His research, alongside collaborator Steve, laid the bedrock for WellSteps’ initiatives.
Troy’s influence extended to serving as the Editor for the American Journal of Health Promotion and as a board member for the National Wellness Institute. With a desire to address emotional well-being, he authored a book inspired by genuine stories.
