Health Coaching Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Medical Weight Loss Coach (In-Clinic + Telehealth)

The Medical Weight Loss Coach works directly with clients enrolled in our 3-Phase Body Reset Program. This is a holistic medical weight loss program that combines nutrition, exercise, data tracking, and medicine such as GLP-1s to help people lose weight, reset their metabolism, and avoid rebound. The role is coaching‑first, with a mix of virtual and in‑clinic work depending on location.

You will guide clients from onboarding through long‑term maintenance using medication, nutrition, movement, and habits. Most client visits are televisits; many clients prefer an in‑person onboarding and occasional in‑clinic follow‑ups. Clinical decisions (diagnosis, prescribing, dose changes, lab interpretation) are handled by licensed providers.
