Hims & Hers Launches Holistic Weight Loss Program to Break the Endless Cycle of Weight Gain and Loss - Seite 2

Obesity is one of the most common chronic health issues in the U.S. today, and can lead to or exacerbate many other significant physical and mental health challenges, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42% of American adults are considered to have obesity with an additional 31% considered overweight. While approximately half of Americans will try to lose weight, research suggests that only about 20% who lose weight on their own will keep it off long term.

Weight Loss by Hims & Hers aims to address these issues by taking on the physical and psychological factors that contribute to weight gain and loss. Following a consultation with a licensed healthcare provider on the platform, if appropriate, Hims & Hers customers will receive personalized treatment plans that include:

• Medication Management: Access to clinically-trusted medications that have been studied extensively and prescribed for decades. The holistic set of medication treatment regimens at this time can include personalized combinations of Bupropion, Metformin, Naltrexone and Topiramate with Vitamin B12, as deemed medically appropriate by a provider on the platform.
• Educational and Motivational Content: Available through the Hims and Hers apps, customers will have access to a trove of curated content, including nutrition guidance, recipes, mental health support, movement recommendations and sleep advice – all of which is personalized based on customers’ lifestyle and appetite profile.
• Digital Tracking Tools: The Hims and Hers apps also will include innovative features that help customers track their progress, hydration, movement and sleep.

“Weight Loss by Hims & Hers is designed to uniquely fit each customer’s biology. Our program doesn’t rely on fad diets or magic fixes, but is built for people to get the results they want without gambling with their health,” said Andrew Dudum, CEO and co-founder of Hims & Hers. “True to the promise of our brand, we’re bringing together the industry’s best clinical minds and leveraging years of scientific evidence to create an accessible approach that we believe will improve health outcomes, keep people engaged and build greater trust over time.”
