Abstract
This DNP project implemented weekly holistic telehealth visits at a private practice for obese and overweight participants over three months with evidence-based diet and exercise protocols designed to improve their body mass indexes (BMI). BMIs and body metrics were submitted from their home Renpho smart body scale. During these visits, the first intervention was the diet component of the protocol which utilized the MyPlate.gov website and developed individualized diet plans and the accompanying Start Simple mobile app used to plan and track their daily food intake (United States Dietary Association [USDA], 2023b). The second intervention was the protocol’s exercise component which utilized the Move Your Way government website and developed individualized weekly exercise plans (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [ODPHP], 2022b).
