Featured Coaching Tracks
Weight Management
Symbol works with patients to establish realistic goals that help building the fittest, healthiest body you can. This track not only shapes you up, but instructs and informs patients about safe methods of working out, adhering to nutritional guidelines, and encourages ongoing weigh-ins to hold patients accountable and keep them motivated to sustain positive progress.
Tobacco Cessation
Coaches help participants quit smoking, vaping or chewing tobacco – moving beyond the scientific facts of why they should quit to bring actionable steps to kick the habit. Often in combination with a Symbol medical professional’s prescription for cessation aids, Symbol Health Coaches help participants deal with cravings and slip-ups while holding them accountable to their ultimate goal to quit.
Diabetes Management
Building upon a medical provider’s explanation of the disease, a Symbol Health Coach brings greater awareness to blood sugar monitoring, controlling medications, increasing water intake, planning and preparing healthy meals, and managing sick days.
Dyslypidemia Management
Coaches help participants understand the role of blood lipids (fats) in the body and help them design a progressive plan to eat right, exercise more, and incorporate their unique healthy lifestyle plans into their everyday social lives.

I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the positive results I attained under the guidance of the Symbol Health Solutions program… A 40+ pound weight loss is one thing, but feeling good about yourself every day means much more to me.
