Supporting sustainable behavior change through personalized healthcare guidance 

Maintaining a healthy weight lowers a person’s risk of heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Yet, research shows that more than 70% of adults over age 20 are overweight or obese, and only about one in six will lose weight and maintain that loss.  

When employers offer Quantum Health’s Health Coaching solution, members gain access to coaches who guide them, one-on-one, through the behavior changes needed to meet healthier lifestyle goals.  

Limited results without guided support

An engineer, Paul, had benefits from his self-insured employer to help manage his Type 2 diabetes. But he found eating healthy foods and portion control challenging. For years he wrestled with unhealthy patterns of gaining and losing weight, trying rigid diets and exercise programs.  

Paul needed an employee advocate that would support this lifestyle change to help him succeed. When he enrolled in Health Coaching, Paul weighed 228 pounds, had an 8.3 A1c, 149 glucose level and 128/98 blood pressure.
