SMAs are doctor-led visits (which means they are covered by insurance) that you have with other patients who have common health challenges. Patients learn from the healthcare team and from each other in this supportive and interactive environment.
The weekly, 90-minute sessions allow for meaningful group education and engaging conversations. Our 4-week SMA programs focus on how to integrate science-based weight-loss strategies into our busy lives, and learn to manage, delay or reverse diabetes, prediabetes or insulin resistance.
Topics will include:
- Meal planning/tracking
- Research on nutrition/diets
- Blood glucose regulation
- Physical activity
- Weight maintenance
