Based on similar studies there is an expected 10% drop-out rate so 20 participants per group will be invited to aim to have 15 finish. Total participants invited over the two-year study will be 40. The participants will be followed over a Complete 6-month Lifestyle medicine Intervention Program (CLIP) involving a collaboration between physicians, health coach, registered dietitians, and kinesiology. The CLIP will cover the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine in 12-14 fundamentals of lifestyle medicine group classes.
