How we did the study

In our real-world 2024 study, led by Embla researchers, we followed 2,246 individuals in our weight loss program to explore the benefits of personalised semaglutide dosing and lifestyle coaching.
Participants received lower doses of semaglutide while engaging in our holistic, personalised coaching program. The study tracked self-registered data, including body weight and semaglutide doses, with regular follow-ups to monitor progress.

Participants used only between 36.9% and 40.3% of the usually applied dose, but still experienced significant results.
Embla’s latest study results were presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO) 2024 in Venice, Italy. The study, led by Dr. Henrik Gudbergsen, Embla’s Chief Medical Officer, highlights our commitment to innovative, personalised weight loss solutions.

Sustained weight loss is possible

Participants who tapered off the medication successfully maintained their weight for at least 6 months. These findings underscore the power of a personalised, holistic approach in achieving and sustaining weight loss with lower doses of semaglutide.
