Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the present study is to test the effects of a digital meditation intervention and/or a healthy eating intervention in a sample of UCSF employees with overweight and obesity (BMI>=25kg/m2) who report mild to moderate stress. We will randomize UCSF employees to 8-weeks of a digital meditation intervention (using the commercially available application, Headspace), a healthy eating intervention, a digital meditation+healthy eating intervention, or a waitlist control condition. Participants assigned to the digital meditation intervention group will be asked to download and use the Headspace mobile application for at least 10 minutes per day for 8 weeks. Participants assigned to the healthy eating intervention group will be asked to participate in a 50 minute motivational interviewing counseling session centered around healthy eating behaviors , three 10-minute booster phone calls at weeks 1, 4, and 8, and weekly participation in a digital mindful eating activity. All study participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires at baseline, week 4, week 8 (post-intervention), and a 4-month follow-up period. Among participants who are randomized to the digital meditation intervention, they will also take part in a 1-year follow-up assessment. Physiological assessments (body composition, blood spot) will be obtained at an in-person clinic visit at baseline and week 8. Fitness, sleep, and mood data will be gathered for seven consecutive days at baseline and week 8. Prior to randomization, participants will go through an eligibility screening and complete the baseline questionnaire battery. Adherence in the digital meditation intervention will be tracked remotely. The goal is to recruit up to 165 participants ;
