How to turn off Healthkit Steps Counting

I have an iPhone 6 plus and recently purchased the Jawbone UP Move. The issue I am having is that both my Jawbone and healthkit are writing steps data to the dashboard. This is causing step counts to be extremely high. Additionally, the Jawbone is duplicating steps that it delivers to healthkit. So what I am seeing is duplicate Jawbone + Healthkit steps in my dashboard. Is there any way to turn off Healthkit from counting steps?

The Health app (Heathkit is a developer framework) doesn't count steps. The M8 co-processor does. You can't turn it off. You can go to Sources in Health and turn off the ability of UP to either write or read steps, depending on your preference. I can't say I've never had a problem with anything duplicating.
