This is a proof-of-concept study of a virtual version of a lifestyle intervention aimed at reducing cardiometabolic risk in patients with the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). The aim is to recruit 12 patients at high risk for coronavirus infection based upon a diagnosis of obesity and the MetS, conduct a 12-week virtual version of the in-person intervention, and explore efficacy using clinically significant pre-specified targets for weight, diet, physical activity, stress, and markers of inflammation. In addition, the investigators will explore safety, fidelity, feasibility, and acceptability.
