4 steps to hitting your weight-loss goals

When you think about your ideal goal weight, does a rush of overwhelming thoughts and disbelief consume you? Setting a weight-loss goal can be big and scary—a number that feels far away from achieving, and you might not know where to begin. And hitting that weight-loss goal is an entirely different story. They are h-a-r-d to meet, and most people toss the scale and give up before even starting. But we’re to help with that.

Found is a 100 percent online, medically-supported weight-care program that delivers medication straight to your door within seven days. And no, we’re not your usual “count your cals and get running” type of program. Instead, Found combines biology, psychology, social, and behavioral factors to help you reach your goal weight. Members receive prescription medication, access to a team of virtual experts and health coaches, and a supportive community in an app where they can track and accomplish lifestyle changes. Our science-backed and sustainable weight care is all delivered conveniently into the palm of your hand. 

Now let’s dive in on how to hit your weight-loss goals in four simple steps:

Step 1: Get started by taking our three-minute health quiz 

Begin your weight-loss journey with Found today by taking our three-minute personalized health quiz. The quick questionnaire helps customize your Found experience to your unique needs, goals, health, and lifestyle by considering your unique biology and medical history. We address how genetics, hormones, gut health, sleep quality, and emotional health affect your weight. And don’t worry; you can share more details with your Found provider during your consult. 

Step 2: Virtually meet with a Found clinician

Within 24 hours, you’ll have a virtual consultation with your Found provider from the comfort of your own home. Found clinicians are not your usual healthcare providers: They’re specially trained in obesity medicine. They know that treating obesity requires a multifaceted approach as it’s a chronic and complex disease. And they know that treating it depends on the latest research in obesity science to provide a wide range of recommended treatments to address the root cause of excess weight and obesity. 

Step 3: Receive your medication

After meeting with your Found provider and deciding the best path for you and your health goals, you’ll receive medication (if you’re eligible) within seven days. Found offers medications that are FDA-approved for at least one indication (it may not be specifically for weight loss) but that research has shown to help with weight loss. This is a common practice called off-label prescribing. Clinicians across the country can prescribe FDA-approved drugs at variable doses or for purposes other than what a drug is approved to treat based on clinical evidence. Medication can help make the lifestyle changes you’ve already been working on more achievable by curbing your cravings, blocking fat absorption, or stabilizing blood sugar levels. No need to take a trip to the pharmacy, either. Found takes the headache out by delivering your medication straight to your doorstep.

Step 4: Begin the Found program 

Found helps you lose weight beyond just using prescription medications. We not only consider your biology; we also look at other factors of lasting weight care, such as nutrition, movement, stress and emotional health, sleep, and social support. We take a comprehensive approach and use lifestyle tools to help you become your best self. Our program and app are created by medical experts to help you create sustainable habits in the pillars of weight care and hold you accountable on your weight-loss journey.

Reach your weight-loss goals with Found

Using the Found program helped Found member, Keren Diallo, lose almost 60 pounds of post-pregnancy weight and keep it off. Diallo committed to small, sustainable lifestyle changes along with taking prescription medication to reach her weight-loss goals. Weight-loss medication also helped Found member Xavier Cordova-Figallo break his weight-loss plateau. After many unsuccessful attempts to lose weight and keep it off, he’s down 23 pounds and counting, thanks to the addition of prescription meds from Found. The average Found member loses 10 percent of their body weight during the first 12 months of the program. And research suggests losing just five to ten percent of body weight improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, which can help improve common conditions linked to obesity like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke risk. 

The Found program gives you access to virtual clinicians trained in obesity medicine who can match you with prescription medication if that’s right for you. If you qualify for medication, you and your provider will have an online consultation to figure out the best path for you. Then your prescription will be shipped right to your door within seven days. You can start right off the bat on the Found app, where you’ll find a community of other Found members on similar journeys and a place to track your lifestyle changes and weight-care goals.
