    Metabolic Wellness Program

    Metabolism is how your body converts food into energy. Your metabolism has an impact on your body composition, blood sugar, sleep, energy and other key markers for health. A strong metabolism can also lower your risk of health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes.

    A New Approach for Optimal Health

    Program Overview

    Led by Ron Sinha, M.D., Sutter Health’s Metabolic Wellness Program helps you understand your metabolism in real-time by using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a wearable device that continuously tracks your blood glucose levels so you can see the impact of your food and exercise choices. With virtual group lifestyle education sessions and digital nudges along the way, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to create a personal routine for your best health.

    What to Expect

    The 8-week virtual program is open to California residents who are 18 years and older – please see FAQ below for additional criteria exclusions. Throughout this program, you will:

    • Learn how your glucose levels relate to food, activity, sleep and stress.
    • Receive support and access to integrative and holistic services through group sessions.
    • Improve your energy, feel better and lower future risk for disease.
    • Gain access to wellness navigators during and after the program.

    Program Pricing

    The enrollment fee is $150 for the Program starting on 1/23/23. It changes to $199 for subsequent Programs.

     

    Your health plan will not cover this fee. Check with your employer to discuss wellness dollars or if your FSA/HSA can be used.

     

    In addition to this fee, you will cover the cost of your Continuous Glucose Monitor. This cost depends on your health plan coverage terms and pharmacy pricing. The cost can range from $0-$78.

     

    There is a 100% program fee refund policy within the first two weeks of the program’s start date.

    Sessions start every quarter and space is limited.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • You don’t need to be a Sutter patient to participate.  

    • A primary care provider (PCP) is your healthcare advocate – providing or coordinating most of your care such as routine exams, preventive screenings and treatment for illnesses and minor injuries. This program is not a replacement for routine checkups with your PCP. If you don’t already have a PCP, please let us know and we can help find one that’s right for you.

    • Depending on the sensor you choose, 10-14 days per sensor. You will not have to wear the sensor for the entire 8 weeks.

    • All employees and their dependents who are eligible under their employer’s group health plan are eligible to participate in the program. Those who are not eligible include:

      • Children under the age of 18.
      • Those who are currently living outside of California.
      • Individuals with Type 1 diabetes.
      • Medicare enrollees.

      Individuals with Type 2 diabetes are welcome, but this is not intended to support insulin adjustment.

    • Only participants will see their CGM results. If the participant’s primary care provider (PCP) is within the Sutter network, they will be alerted that their patient has joined the program. Your health information will not be shared with your employer or Sutter Health.

    • Participants will primarily use the app specific to the continuous glucose monitor of choice.

    • Currently, lab work isn’t part of the program.

    Testimonial

    “This program has been very eye opening for me. My first CGM scan was 324. I went, "Holy smokes!". Having access to the data really slices through denial. My current average is now 116, 93% time in target. I now have a religious approach in reading food labels. Anything with added sugar: I don't eat it. Carbs: I’ve cut it all out. I now try to get 5,000 steps a day and weight lift. This program is awesome.”

    -Happy Participant
