Founded in March this year, WEMA Health aims to tackle the rising obesity pandemic with a science-backed medical weight loss program including extensive lifestyle coaching and state-of-the-art technology. WEMA Health is a virtual-first program, co-developed with the world’s leading obesity scientists, connecting members with medical doctors and lifestyle coaches. Modern and clinically documented GLP-1-based medications are prescribed in tandem with professional coaching, to empower members to make lasting lifestyle changes and achieve significant, sustained weight loss.

Co-Founder Anders Dyhr Toft explains: “Combining GLP-1-based medicines, coaching and best-in-class digital solutions, can be very powerful in healthcare. Modern weight loss medication is highly suitable for virtual prescription and lifestyle intervention, and at WEMA Health, we will strive to help our members achieve an unprecedented, sustained weight loss of up to 20%. WEMA Health’s global launch will be initiated in Denmark and UAE, then several European countries and US will follow”.

WEMA Health’s program focuses on all aspects of metabolic health and aims to achieve a ‘metabolic reset’, enabling users to live a healthier life. Prof. Filip K. Knop, MD PhD, a worldwide leading expert on obesity and Academic Supervisor of WEMA Health, adds: “Our scientific understanding shows that obesity in the vast majority of cases is a chronic condition that requires medical treatment. Combining this treatment with fundamental lifestyle changes is what creates wholesome, sustainable, and meaningful solutions for patients”.

WEMA is welcoming members into the program for a discounted rate until Q3 2022. More information is available on www.joinwema.com.
