Found is a personalized health program focused on sustainable weight loss. Its an online medically supervised program for those with a BMI of 30 or a BMI of 27 with comorbidities such as diabetes or heart disease. Its available in 31 states.

It encompasses diet, exercise, and prescription medications when deemed necessary. It also takes into account other important factors that can impact weight loss and shouldnt be ignored, such as:

The program takes a multidisciplinary approach to wellness and includes board-certified physicians in weight management, nutrition, and health coaches as part of your care.

According to Caroline Thomason, RD, CDCES, a dietitian based in Washington, DC, Programs like these offer alluring aspects of working with a weight loss physician: a virtual program setting and access to medications that may be challenging to get otherwise.

Adrienne Youdim, MD, an obesity medicine and physician nutrition specialist, echoes this opinion and says, It is an evidence-based program that evaluates patients on an individual basis and prescribes FDA-approved weight loss drugs in a guideline-based manner.

Here are the key components that you get with your monthly membership.

Personalized nutritionYou receive personalized nutrition recommendations from a health coach. With the Found program, no food is off-limits, but they encourage portion control and staying in a calorie deficit.

MovementYou also receive personalized exercise guidance from an expert.

Prescription medicationFDA-approved medications are prescribed if you qualify. Two classes of drugs are offered: oral or injectable medications, or glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1s). GLP-1s are medications traditionally used to treat diabetes; these may be oral or injectable meds.

While all the medications are FDA-approved, not all of them are approved for weight loss specifically. This means some of them are prescribed off-label and may produce weight loss as a side effect.

For example, metformin is a diabetes medication that may be prescribed to a Found member. Its associated with weight loss in some research, but its not FDA-approved for this purpose specifically.

The full list of medications you could be prescribed includes:

The drugs used all have evidence for the treatment of obesity or excess weight resulting in medical comorbidity. I fully support the use of anti-obesity medications in the right individual to treat the chronic condition of obesity, says Dr. Youdim.

Medical guidance and consultationThe program provides initial and ongoing access to a medical provider who helps guide your treatment path and provides support.

Personal health coachingYou receive support from a personal health coach. It needs to be clarified if this coach is a registered dietitian or what their credentials are.

Access to an exclusive communityYou receive access to a private Facebook group where you can ask questions and share your experiences.
