How it works

We make up a team of expert dieticians and health coaches ready to help, guide, and motivate you towards your goals.
1. Start with an initial video consultation where you get to know your health coach. In this conversation, you’ll create a plan and set goals for your programme based on your wants and needs.
2. Receive regular guidance via videos and texts in the app. Your health coach will provide advice and motivation, including recipes, nutritional guidance, activity advice, and more - all tailored to your personal preferences. Our health coaches are trained in behavioural psychology, and our coaching programme is evidence-based.

Disclaimer

Before making any medical decisions or changes to your health regime, please consult with your doctor. The Boots Online Doctor Coach app is designed to support lifestyle changes and health improvements, but it should be used in addition to, not as a substitute for, professional medical advice.

When you download the app, you can sync your Apple Health or other wearable tracking devices. This is great if you want to track your exercise progress, like your daily step count, that weekend dance class with your friends or a heroic park run. You can always open the app 'Health', go to 'Sources' where you can activate/deactivate this permission.
