When we think about health goals which often include weight management, there is no avoiding the white hot topic of weight loss meds. With stats showing 7 in 10 American adults are overweight or obese, it’s no surprise the conversation around weight loss medication has taken off like wildfire and it’s not stopping anytime soon. Even Oprah recently got on the bandwagon. But, there are big challenges around the cost, being able to access the medication, and the long term success of treatment.

The solution? Leading health & wellness platform, Hims & Hers, recently launched Weight Loss by Hims & Hers, a comprehensive and customizable prescription based alternative to the GLP-1’s (i.e. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) that have dominated headlines this year. Addressing the major roadblock of cost, accessibility and lasting results - this personalized weight management program is affordable (no insurance needed), offers ORAL based medication (NO injections!), and provides customers with supportive content and coaching throughout their weight loss journey. By addressing underlying factors that contribute to weight gain including nutrition, behavior, and movement - Hims & Hers creates a tailored holistic plan in order for customers to lose and keep off the weight leading to long-term health benefits.

Pete Scalia spoke with medical experts with Hims & Hers, the leading health & wellness platform, Dr. Craig Primack and Dr. Jessica Yu.
