Helping You Navigate Life’s Challenges

Chronic health conditions such as diabetes, depression and arthritis are some of the worst things life can throw at you. Not only can they cause physical and emotional pain, but they can also be costly. People with chronic conditions can spend thousands of dollars a year on doctor visits, medicine or therapy.

The good news is you can prevent or reduce the symptoms of many chronic conditions by taking action now. To help you do this, we’re offering My Health Novel at no cost to qualifying members.

My Health Novel is a virtual network that supports you as you manage your condition and pursue your health goals. It is made up of five chapters. Each of these chapters addresses a specific health concern and matches you with useful tools based on your unique needs.

Chapter 1: Weight Management

Losing even a modest amount of weight can result in many health benefits. It can boost your mobility, heart health and energy levels. It can also lower your risk for Type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, sleep apnea and depression.

The weight management chapter includes access to an evidence-based weight loss program and small group sessions. You can work with a lifestyle coach who will help you set goals and stay on track.

Chapter 2: Behavioral Health

Few things affect us as much as our mental health. Taking care of your mental health can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can also decrease your risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity and diabetes.

Our behavioral health chapter includes an evidence-based online program, mindfulness training and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Chapter 3: Musculoskeletal (MSK) Health

Poor MSK health can cause chronic pain, joint issues and mobility problems. It can also increase your risk of injuries such as strains, sprains and fractures.

The MSK health chapter includes a mobility improvement program, help with scheduling mobility exercises and access to virtual sessions with licensed physical therapists.

Chapter 4: Women’s Health

Women face different issues at different stages of life. Whether you’re dealing with pelvic pain, fertility issues, breastfeeding or menopause, we have resources that can help.

Our women’s health chapter includes digital connections to coaching, clinics and physical therapy. You can also get support from lactation consultants and other health professionals.

Chapter 5: Digestive Health

Many digestive diseases have unpredictable symptoms, such as pain and cramping, that can affect your daily routines and social life. Learning how to manage your symptoms and eat the right foods are an important part of staying healthy.

Our digestive health chapter gives you access to trusted, personalized care from a dedicated care team. You’ll also have access to diagnostic tests and tools that will help you manage, track and improve your symptoms.
