Prescribe FIT

02/25/2026

At Performance Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, patient care goes beyond treating injuries — it’s about creating a path to long-term health and a better life.

Through their Prescribe FIT program, the practice is helping patients take control of their overall health with personalized, virtual coaching focused on sustainable lifestyle changes.

The impact has been profound: more than 2,500 pounds of weight loss across 250+ patients, reducing stress on musculoskeletal systems, improving day-to-day well-being, and lowering the risk of future health issues.

“What I love about Prescribe FIT is the accountability. It’s been wonderful and probably one of the best programs I’ve tried in a very long time!” — Jeanmarie F.

In just 176 days in the program, Jeanmarie’s results are the kind that change daily life:
✅ Pain down from 7 → 1
✅ Mobility doubled
✅ 18.8 lbs lost — meaning significantly less stress on the MSK system and less pressure on the joints

Proof that small, consistent steps + accountability can create big-time outcomes. 💪

Ready to feel stronger, move better, and hurt less? Let’s do this.

Recovery isn’t just what happens in the OR — it’s what happens between appointments. 🦴✨

In Stronger Joints Together, our CEO & Founder Brock Leonti and Dr. Joseph Serino (Orthopedic Associates of Central Maryland) share how nutrition, movement, and support work together to help patients before and after hip/knee replacement — and even if surgery isn’t needed.

What stood out:
✅ “Prehab” = more than PT — it’s building overall health for a smoother recovery
✅ Protein matters for healing (and many patients are low without realizing it)
✅ Strong hip muscles help stabilize the joint and improve walking + balance
✅ The biggest “secret sauce”? Consistency + accountability (plus the mental side of recovery)

Cold/flu/COVID season is here 🥶🤧—and the best defense is still the basics (done consistently).

Here are 10 lifestyle moves that help support your immune system and reduce your odds of getting sick:
1. Aim for 8 hours of sleep
2. Wash hands often (20 seconds)
3. Eat nutrient-dense foods (think Mediterranean-style)
4. Stop touching your face (eyes/nose/mouth)
5. Move daily (regular exercise supports immune function)
6. Avoid close contact with sick people
7. Limit alcohol (excess can weaken immune response)
8. Get enough vitamin D
9. Cut back or quit smoking
10. Hydrate with water 💧

Pick 2–3 to focus on this week and build from there. Small habits → big protection.

February is Heart Health Awareness Month ❤️—and you don’t need a “perfect” plan to start. You just need a repeatable one.

This month, try one (or both) of these fun February challenges to build a heart-healthy routine:

✅ Healthy Heart Hustle
Earn “hearts” for cardio, strength, and stretching—plus bonus points for a weekly coach check-in and wearing red on Fridays. Goal: 40 hearts by month-end.

✅ Be Heart Smart: 8 Dimensions of Wellness
Because heart health isn’t just cardio—it’s also sleep, stress, relationships, environment, purpose, routines, and support. Knock out one task in each wellness dimension each week and stack small wins.

Tip to make it stick: choose your “minimum” (even 10 minutes counts) and build from there.

Nothing beats getting the whole team together in one room. 🧡

Our Prescribe FIT in-service + awards ceremony was packed with learning, alignment, and a whole lot of laughter—connecting across our Care Team + Patient Experience Team, digging into the patient journey and cross-team collaboration, sharpening up on insurance/billing updates for 2026, and grounding everything in our vision + roadmap for what’s next.

We’re proud of this crew and the care they bring to patients and partners every single day. Here’s to building, improving, and celebrating—together. 🙌

Received this incredible success story recently from patient, Mary K:

"I am retired on disability from pain and clinical depression. I am down 20 pounds since I've started on this program! I was basically a non-moving person in pain; back, hip, knee and feet. Learning the right kind of exercises for my issues has been a huge help. I now wake up in the morning, do stretching exercises and start drinking my water for the day. I have other movement exercises that I do later in the day. I still have pain, but not crippling pain to the point that I don't want to move, moving actually helps me feel better. The phone call each week from a health professional helps keep me 'honest' in my efforts. If I slip she helps me get back on track. It's hard to eat food that is good for me after decades of not healthy eating. I realize my recovery will take time and I am committed to trying my best. My pain level is better, my health is better, my depression is getting better and I feel like I owe it all to this program."

January 2 is Start Your Healthy Lifestyle Day 🎉

New Year’s Day can feel like a lot—travel, family time, late nights… so if you didn’t “start perfectly” on January 1, you’re not behind. There’s no harm in waiting an extra day. What matters is starting somewhere — and starting small.

Here are 3 simple, science-backed ways to make healthy habits stick:

✅ Focus on what you’ll do (not what you’ll avoid).
Instead of “I’ll quit ___,” try “When I crave ___, I’ll ___.”

🤝 Build in accountability.
Invite a friend, family member, or support system to check in with you.

🗓️ Use the “fresh start effect.”
New Year, new month, new week—pick mini reset dates to re-commit.

Small changes, practiced consistently, compound into big results. 💪

January is New Year, New You Month 🎉

If your resolution is to move more, eat better, or lose weight—you’re not alone. But sticking with it is the hard part: studies show many people quit within weeks, and long-term follow-through is rare. 

That’s why Prescribe FIT created New Year, New You Month—to help patients build healthier habits that actually last. Our virtual lifestyle health program supports orthopedic patients at home with:
✅ 1:1 health coaching
✅ Personalized nutrition + fitness guidance
✅ Weight, pain, activity, and nutrition tracking in our mobile app 

And it works: 80% of patients stay engaged 9+ months, with ~5.4% average weight loss in the first 16 weeks, and 82% reducing severe pain within 30 days. 

Ready to make a resolution you can keep? Talk to your orthopedic physician about Prescribe FIT and start your New You today. https://hubs.la/Q03Z85jt0

Prescribe FIT established New Year, New You Month in January to recognize the importance of maintaining your health and wellness goals.

If you’ve ever seen the 75 Hard challenge, you know the vibe: strict rules, zero wiggle room, and a whole lot of “all or nothing.” For some people, that’s motivating. For most busy humans (and most patients we work with), it’s a fast track to burnout. So we made something that’s much mor...
