An offering that meets the unique needs of those taking second-generation GLP-1s, with a focus on the behavioral targets they need most: hydration, protein, fruits and vegetables, and activity


WeightWatchers Clinic

Access to certified clinicians trained in obesity management and stigma-free care—providers who can meet with your patients virtually, determine the right treatment path for them, and, if appropriate, prescribe medications like GLP-1s


Diabetes Program

A program that supports those living with diabetes, to help them lose weight and lower blood sugar2


Points® Program

Our tried-and-tested system that takes the guesswork out of knowing which foods to eat, helping millions achieve weight loss without deprivation

All about our new GLP-1 Program

Designed to support people taking semaglutide and tirzepatide, this program encourages key lifestyle changes that will improve overall well-being during weight loss and lead to long-term success.
