Longitudinal, Individualized Health Coaching

What this trial is about

The goal of this longitudinal study is to investigate the role of virtual health coaching on mitigation of cardiometabolic disease risk in an underserved, food insecure population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does longitudinal, individualized health coaching directed at lifestyle modification reduce patient 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke? * Does longitudinal, individualized health coaching directed at lifestyle modification reduce rates of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes? * Does longitudinal, individualized health coaching directed at lifestyle modification improve accessibility to healthcare? Researchers will investigate the effects of regularly scheduled health coaching sessions on composite cardiometabolic risk profile as well as individual modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Participants will: * Participate in in-person cardiovascular screening, occuring at the time of enrollment, months 3 and 6. * Engage in virtual health coaching sessions to talk about diet, exercise, weight loss, blood pressure and diabetes control, and accessibility to healthcare * Keep a log of their blood pressure
