A Personalized Approach to Metabolic Syndrome

Posted by Lisa Stovall on Wed, May, 09, 2012
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors, including waist circumference, triglycerides, glucose and blood pressure that together create an elevated negative effect on your employees’ health. It’s a growing health condition, with nearly 50 million Americans living with metabolic syndrome, causing an increase in employer health spending and health-related productivity loss costs.

There are clear benefits to employers who address metabolic syndrome. Employers who have healthier employees have less lifestyle-related health expenditures, and more healthy and productive employees. Employers can help employees manage or eliminate their condition by a carefully executed risk management/reduction strategy that includes a supportive work environment with a health-enhancing culture, and dedicated interventions. A personal health coach is effective in helping employees manage or eliminate health risks associated with metabolic syndrome.

TotalWellness offers Lifestyle Management Health Coaching that is designed to guide participants through the stages of change to reach their overall goal and encourage permanent behavior change. Empower your employees to live more healthy and productive lives by offering health coaching as a personalized approach to managing metabolic syndrome.
