Jamile Thomas, NBC HWC
@jamilethomasnbchwc
I translate clinical recommendations and health data into sustainable behavior change for patients and Veterans.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've delivered more than 1,000 individualized coaching sessions at Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, helping Veterans act on nutrition, physical activity, medication adherence, and cardiovascular risk-reduction plans.
I partnered with physicians and interdisciplinary teams to turn clinical recommendations, laboratory values, and biomarkers into practical patient-centered action plans. My work supported 78 Veterans in reaching LDL cholesterol below 70 mg/dL, contributing to a cumulative reduction exceeding 2,500 mg/dL.
At Signifier Medical Technologies, I provided virtual clinical education and patient support for prescription-based therapy, monitoring adherence, tolerance, symptoms, and barriers while escalating concerns appropriately. I also supported physician-led lifestyle medicine care at EMBEE Lifestyle Docs and coordinated community health education programs.
Across 2,300+ hours of health coaching and personal training, I use motivational interviewing, accountability, and behavior-change strategies to build lasting habits around nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and overall health.
