GLP-1s are the new must-have benefit. Here’s how to offer them smartly, sustainably 👇 In may 2025, we presented our real-world GLP-1 research at the European Congress on Obesity. The key takeway? You don't need lifelong medication to sustain weight loss. What our data (from 2,700+ participants) shows: → People can successfully taper off GLP-1s without regaining weight when done right. → A lower-dose approach works. Our members lost 14.9kg over 76 weeks using 55% lower avg. doses. → Coaching and structured support improve long-term success, lowering healthcare spend on obesity-related conditions. For employers, this means: ✅ Lower GLP-1 costs without sacrificing results. ✅ Smarter dosing that keeps coverage sustainable. ✅ Better employee health, fewer high-cost claims In short: Used with the right model and high-quality support, GLP-1s don’t have to be an open-ended expense. They can become a positive ROI investment for self-funded employers and health plans. Read the full study: https://lnkd.in/dknF-RWF PS. If you're an US employer or health plan looking to transition to a more affordable and effective GLP-1 solution for 2026, Embla could be a great fit.

We’ve been trying to solve obesity for over 50 years. Mostly with diets. Sometimes with shame. Now with GLP-1s. But the one thing that still gets left out? The why. Why people struggle. Why habits don’t stick. Why weight comes back. At Embla, we’re building something different. Our vision for the future of weight care puts behavior change at the center because that’s what makes lasting results possible. We only use medication when it’s truly needed. Not by default. And we connect coaches and clinicians on the same team, working together in real time to support every member’s journey. We made this short film to share our story of how we got here, what we’ve learned, and the future we’re building.

A lot of what’s called “weight care” today doesn’t actually work with the healthcare system. It works around it. You’ve got digital apps doing one thing. Coaching platforms doing another. GLP-1 prescribing happening in a black box. And nobody’s talking to each other. That’s how you end up with: - Confused members - Disconnected vendors - And a benefits budget that's leaking from 10 different places We’re seeing this play out everywhere in the US. This form of fragmentation is expensive. And it rarely leads to the lasting outcomes each patient is hoping for. That’s why we built Embla differently. We decided we wouldn't want to be another standalone point solution or another "app" in the wellness toolkit. Instead, we wanted to be something that fits into the system: ✅ Data flows between coaches and prescribers ✅ Shared records so there's no gaps in care ✅ One platform, one bill, one experience When care is connected, it’s safer. When systems talk to each other, the member journey actually makes sense. And when your obesity benefit doesn’t fight the healthcare system, it works a whole lot better.

Sustainable weight loss takes more than just advice. It takes support. Especially when someone is trying to: - Break old habits - Build new routines - Change the direction of their health So how do you actually help someone make those changes for good? We sat down with Andrea, one of our Embla coaches, to find out. Watch the video to hear how she (and the Embla model specifically) guides people toward real, lasting change.
