Health Coaches
Whether you want to change your lifestyle or manage a health problem that has changed your life, a health coach can help. Your health coach can help you make a plan and stick with it until you succeed.
How are you trying to improve your health? Maybe you’d like to quit smoking, lose weight, eat healthier, get active, or build lower back strength. Or maybe you’re working with your doctor to get control of a chronic condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. You may feel like you could use some help to improve your mood — whether that means managing everyday stress or battling depression, anxiety, or substance use.
Your health coach can support your work on any of these goals, and more. Call 1-866-778-6073 to talk with a health coach about how you can get started on the change that’s important to you.
You can also take advantage of these UPMC Health Plan programs and services:

Nutrition
Cutting fats, cholesterol, and salt in your diet helps lower your cholesterol levels and heart disease risk. But you don’t have to ignore your taste buds to take care of your heart. UPMC shares tips on foods to avoid and healthy alternatives as well as offers an app that has hundreds of nutritious recipes that use the ingredients you choose. All recipes are ranked for nutritional value via our CHOP (Choose Healthy Options) ranking system.
