Position Summary:

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Per Diem Integrative Health & Lifestyle Specialist (FGP) - Manhattan, Center for Womens Health.

In this role, the successful candidate plays a pivotal role in translating precision and lifestyle medicine into daily action within the Griffin Healthspan & Vitality Center at NYU Langone Health. This position is both a behavior-change specialist and a care-journey coordinator, supporting patients in implementing personalized care plans and lifestyle directives recommended by the clinical team. The Health Coach focuses on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and recovery, helping patients build sustainable habits and improve healthspan markers over time.

The Integrative Health and Lifestyle Specialist collaborates closely with physicians, NPs/APPs, acupuncturists, massage therapists, yoga/mind-body practitioners, dietitians, mental health providers, and other team members to ensure care is coordinated, patient-centered, and aligned with evidence-based integrative and lifestyle medicine.

The Integrative Health and Lifestyle Specialist supports adult patients living with or at risk for cardiometabolic and related chronic conditions in making sustainable changes across the pillars of lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of risky substances.
