Blueberry Balance is a virtual, pediatric-led metabolic health program for adolescents, built by Blueberry Pediatrics. We pair board-certified pediatricians with in-house registered dietitians and exercise specialists to deliver comprehensive weight-management care — including GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate — to teens and their families at home.

Adolescent metabolic health is one of the most under-served areas in pediatrics. Most GLP-1 telehealth is built adult-first and gates care at 18, leaving families with elevated-BMI teens to navigate months-long waitlists at hospital-based programs or nothing ance exists to close that gap with real pediatric expertise and a holistic, family-centered model — never medication in isolation.

The Nurse Practitioner is a frontline clinician on the Balance care team, practicing under the oversight of a supervising physician. You will carry your own panel of Balance families — running intake, reviewing labs, designing care plans with families, prescribing GLP-1 therapy where appropriate, and managing that care over time — all within the protocols and multidisciplinary model the program is built on, and within the scope of your state license and collaborative/supervisory arrangement with the overseeing MD.

This is a part-time, flexible engagement designed to grow with the program: it starts at a modest monthly commitment and scales up as the panel does. It’s a strong fit for a nurse practitioner who wants meaningful clinical work in adolescent metabolic health without a leadership mandate, and who is interested in building obesity-medicine expertise on the job. You don’t need to have run a program or hold an obesity-medicine certification to do this role well — you need sound clinical judgment, genuine interest in this population, and the willingness to work inside a coordinated, distributed care team under physician oversight.

Patient intake and evaluation

• Complete comprehensive patient intake for adolescents entering the program, including history, risk factors, and eligibility review
• Order appropriate labs and review results, escalating findings that fall outside program guardrails

Care planning and treatment

• Meet with patients and their families to design an appropriate, individualized care plan grounded in each teen’s goals and clinical picture
• Prescribe and manage GLP-1 therapy where clinically appropriate and within your prescriptive authority, always within a holistic plan that includes nutrition and behavioral support — and know when medication is not the right answer
• Manage ongoing care for patients and families over time: monitoring visits, dose management, side-effect and safety management, and adherence support

Care-team coordination

• Coordinate with other care team members — physicians, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and health coaches — so each family experiences one cohesive care plan rather than a set of disconnected touchpoints
• Work within your collaborative/supervisory arrangement with the overseeing physician: follow the program’s clinical…
