What you'll get with Embla
Your own coach
Get matched with a trained health coach for 1:1 support on habits, nutrition, sleep, and more.
A personalized plan
Build routines that feel natural, not restrictive, with guidance tailored to your goals and lifestyle.
GLP-1 medication
GLP-1s prescribed by an independent licensed clinician if determined appropriate, always at the lowest effective dose with a plan to taper.
Long-term support
We'll teach you the tools to keep your results for life, including after you step down from medication.
What makes Embla different?
Other programs often rely on medication alone or push short-term fixes. Embla combines behavior change with responsible medication use to help you achieve results that stick.
Healthy habits come first
Coaching is the core. You'll get real human support to help build and stick with habits that fit your real life.
GLP-1s, done responsibly
Medication is prescribed by an independent licensed clinician at the lowest effective dose, with medical monitoring, and paired with coaching from day one.
A plan to taper
Most members eventually step down from medication and keep the results. Your independent clinician guides you off in the safest way possible, helping you avoid weight regain.
Whole-person health
You'll feel the change everywhere. Lower blood pressure. Better sleep. Stronger mental health. And the energy to do what matters most.
Already on a GLP-1? Keep going. Add a coach.
If you're taking a GLP-1 for weight loss today, you don't have to start over. Embla picks up where you are and adds the part most programs leave out: a coach who helps you build habits that hold, so the results last when the medication eventually stops.
Your medication continues. An independent licensed clinician reviews where you are today to help avoid any gap in your treatment.
Your co-pay is only $25/month. Kumon covers coaching, clinical care, and medication in full.
You gain a coach. 1:1 support on nutrition, movement, sleep, and mindset, plus unlimited chat in the Embla app.
You get a plan for later. When it's clinically appropriate, your clinician and coach help you step down gradually and keep the weight off. Only when you're ready, never before.
Your privacy holds. Kumon never learns that you were on a GLP-1, that you enrolled, or how you're doing. Only how many people signed up.
All medication decisions, including any changes to your current prescription or dose, are made solely by an independent licensed clinician following a medical evaluation.
Results that make a difference
Embla isn't about quick fixes. It's about helping you feel better, lose weight safely, and keep the results for the long term. Results below are from the TRIM study (2,694 participants, 64-week follow-up). Individual results vary.
Lose 16.7% of your
weight over 64 weeks
On average, members lost nearly one-sixth of their body weight over the 64-week study period.
78.5% successfully
taper off medication
Most people step down successfully and keep the weight off without relying on meds.
Fewer side
effects
Because doses are lower and safer, you avoid the discomfort of high-dose GLP-1s.
Better whole-health outcomes
Members report improved energy, sleep, blood pressure, and overall wellbeing.
What members say
