Small lifestyle changes make a big impact on your health
Prescribe FIT is a proven lifestyle coaching program—not a fad diet or short-lived workout plan—that helps you improve your health at home by focusing on the root causes of your knee, hip, ankle, back, and joint issues.
Why Prescribe FIT?
Feel better and get back to the life you want. Prescribe FIT is different than anything you’ve tried before. We meet patients where they are in their health journey by forming personal connections to better understand motivations and challenges then provide tools to cope and maintain healthy lifestyle changes.
Prescribed by your doctor, customized to you.
You don’t have to make large sacrifices to decrease weight, reduce pain, improve mobility, eliminate medications, and better prepare for and recover from surgery. Our lifestyle health coaching program focuses on improving daily habits—such as nutrition and physical activity—to build sustainable healthy practices that address the root causes of chronic pain and other diseases. We’re here to be your guide on this journey.

Get Started With Prescribe FIT
How Prescribe FIT Works for Patients
Together in partnership with your physician, we’ll get you on the Fast Track to Health™.
01
Enroll in the Program
Your doctor will determine if you’re a candidate for Prescribe FIT. Once your doctor prescribes the virtual lifestyle coaching program, you will receive a link to schedule your first call on our website. On this first call, we will discuss your motivations, health goals, and challenges on this call. If you’re ready to get started, we can send you everything you need to get started.
02
Connect with Your Health Coach
Each patient is matched with a personal Health Coach Care Coordinator who is available for in-app messaging, weekly phone calls, supportive conversations, and personalized recommendations based on your current conditions and ambitions.
03
Establish Your Goals
Your health coach will work with you to learn your motivations and desired health outcomes then help you establish your own personal goals each week. You will begin with small lifestyle tweaks then build habits to improve gradually over time.
04
Conduct Daily Weigh-Ins
You will be provided a Prescribe FIT Bluetooth Smart Scale which pairs with your mobile phone or tablet to send daily body weight readings to your orthopedic provider. Patients are asked to weigh-in every morning and required to step on the scale at least 5x per week.
05
Learn About Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Along with your weekly check-ins with your health coach, you will gain access to lifestyle health resources, healthy recipe substitutions, on-demand videos, and more to help you become an expert on your orthopedic wellness journey.
06
Eat Healthier & Track Meals
With Prescribe FIT, there is no strict diet that you must follow to be successful in our program. Instead, we will assess your current eating habits and then teach you how to choose more nutritious food options, reduce frequency of eating, and decrease portion sizes. Meal tracking in-app is easy with barcode scanning that automatically records nutrient breakdowns of everything you’re eating.
07
Increase Your Physical Activity
Your health coach will work with you to build a personalized at-home exercise routine that works for your unique needs. These activities are tailored to your abilities, preferences, and current activity level. Most of the exercises can be completed anywhere, at any time.
08
Routinely Engage in Healthy Lifestyle Choices
As you progress through the program, you will begin to establish a new daily routine consisting of appropriate physical activity and healthy eating habits. Once you’re maintaining those lifestyle changes, your health coach will help you begin to incorporate additional changes like stress and sleep management advice, tips for moderating alcohol or tobacco use, and more.
09
Track Your Progress
Over the next year, you will track your weight, pain, mobility, physical activity, nutrition, and water intake as you continue throughout the program. Your health coach and orthopedic provider will be able to monitor your progress as well and offer support.
10
Get Back to the Life You Want
As your new routine becomes more consistent, you will begin to see real results that will last long-term. These can include not just weight loss, but reductions in pain and A1C as well as improvements in mobility, energy, and more. Your health coach will help you stay dedicated as you maintain your new lifestyle.
