Abstract

This is the virtual presentation on a quality improvement study conducted in fulfillment of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree requirements. The purpose of this project was to increase health by implementing a personalized, clinic-based weight loss program for overweight/obese patients leading to a decrease in weight, BMI, and waist circumference and an increase in muscle mass by using resistance training (RT) exercises as an adjunct to diet, therefore helping to decrease comorbidities associated with obesity.
