Summary
This study tests whether personalized telehealth coaching from a pharmacist can help people adopt preventive health strategies like better nutrition, exercise, and medication use.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either standard wellness education or a personalized plan, and followed for 12-18 months to see if they are more willing to get screened for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
