The Blue Sky MD Virtual program includes weekly meetings with a Wellness Coach, full access to our mobile app, medication (if deemed appropriate) and a free biometric scale. The app provides a direct line of communication between patients and wellness coaches for daily support between virtual visits. The app also includes food journaling, recipes, activity tracking, and more.

You may cancel your subscription and enrollment in the program at any time. However, we do not offer refunds for medication.

Losing weight in a healthy way is about eating well and taking care of your body—and avoiding the behaviors that can undo weeks of hard work, like stress eating.
