Noom Med offers a clinically backed weight loss program integrating prescription medications (GLP-1s) with personalized behavioral coaching. The service aims to provide a more effective and sustainable approach to weight management than medication alone.
How Noom Med Works
The program is fully online, eliminating in-person appointments for convenience. Users begin with a health history and goals survey, followed by an evaluation by a licensed clinician to determine if a prescription is appropriate. Noom assists with insurance coverage (FSA/HSA eligible) and delivers medication within 7 days. Ongoing support includes access to coaches, unlimited refills (where appropriate), and clinical team contact.
GLP-1 Medication & Behavioral Support
Noom Med leverages the effectiveness of GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro) by combining them with lifestyle changes. The company cites retrospective data indicating that users who engage with the Noom program while on GLP-1s experience 48% more weight loss in six months compared to medication-only users.
The approach aligns with the consensus of 97% of surveyed doctors who recommend pairing GLP-1s with lifestyle modifications. Noom’s companion app provides tailored workouts, recipes, and tracking features to reinforce healthy habits.
Two Program Options
Noom Med offers two main paths:
- Noom GLP-1RX Program : Full-dose GLP-1 prescriptions with comprehensive support.
- Microdose GLP-1RX Program : Lower doses of GLP-1s to minimize side effects, paired with at-home biomarker testing and app access.
Pricing varies based on the chosen plan and prescribed medication.
Key Takeaways
Noom Med distinguishes itself by integrating medical oversight with behavioral science to maximize weight loss outcomes. The service’s fully online model and insurance assistance streamline access to prescription medications while promoting long-term health habits.
