Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases

In brief

The purpose of this protocol is to observe whether providing the first responder population with a multi-tiered therapeutic lifestyle modification program, including regular blood testing, diet and telephonic lifestyle coaching, daily food journaling using web-based tools and smartphone apps can lead to positive changes in behavior, resulting in improvements in blood based markers of risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as improvements in weight and waist circumference.
