Blue Shield of California wants to provide members with a better approach to improving health. Blue Shield believes that  “wellness” is a thing of the past, and instead, “lifestyle” is a form of medicine that has the power to not only prevent but treat and reverse disease. Wellvolution is Blue Shield’s digital healthcare platform that provides digital clinical programs based on lifestyle medicine approaches to help people lose weight and lower their risk for diseases like obesity, heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes.  Wellvolution includes some in person programs for those at risk for diabetes.  All programs are free to the member. Wellvolution Programs Flyer
