How we did the study

weight loss study chart over time
In our real-world 2023 study, Embrace II, we followed almost 2000 people in the Embla program for over a year to see how effective our holistic program is at helping our members lose weight.
We tracked the participants’ progress by collecting self-registered data such as body weight and semaglutide doses, with regular follow-ups.

Everyone is unique, and so is every weight loss journey. For this reason, all health decisions are made with you, not for you. You decide what goals you have, what you want to work on, and how often you want help. Whether you’re battling with emotional eating, find it difficult to motivate yourself to be more active, or feel overwhelmed by food guilt, our health mentors have the necessary expertise to help you overcome your challenges.
