Brief summary
The Healthy Lifestyle Program involves twelve, 2-hour seminars during which participants will learn how to build healthy behaviors through a combination of individual and group exercises. Participants will use lessons from the seminars to pursue health goals and learn the basics of physical fitness, nutrition, sleep & recovery, stress management, and weight management for optimal health. Throughout the program, participants will be supported by a behavior coach along with dedicated fitness training, dietary strategy, and stress management support. As part of this next installment of the program, we are conducting a study of the Healthy Lifestyle Program to capture outcome data, including weight/BMI, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and lipid profile.
