A lot of docs I know are prescribing GLP1s already for weight loss, off label. When they get RCT data, get coverage, you guys will be way ahead. Congrats, amazing concept.

I remember reading studies of 30-36 lbs in a year, IF they maintain diet and exercise. I see this adherence as your competitive advantage.
15% average body weight loss was the breakthrough study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183

Important to emphasize that diet & exercise are only two parts of broader metabolic health. Sleep also very important.

And something our program focuses a lot on is stress eating. Very prevalent and a big factor, but normally overlooked.
