Coaching-first weight care, built for real life
Deep 1:1 support that helps members lose weight and keep it off.
Quick fixes don’t
fix much
Most coaching programs are built around the wrong idea: that people just need to try harder. At Embla, we know better. Lasting weight loss takes more than willpower. It takes structure, expertise, and real support.
Generic advice doesn’t work
No two people gain weight the same way. So why do most programs treat them like they do?
Weight loss is a long game
Medication without coaching leads to drop-off, plateaus, and dependency.
Medication isn’t enough
GLP-1s help with appetite. But changing habits, routines, and mindsets? That takes coaching.
Who our coaches are
Embla coaches hold advanced degrees in fields like medical physiology, nutrition, sports psychology, and behavioral health. Many come from leadership roles at respected digital health organizations. Others bring backgrounds in clinical practice, personal training, and occupational health.
They're trained in ACT and CBT-based methods, experienced in the full psychological complexity of weight loss, and backed by a full clinical team — physicians, nurses, and researchers — who collaborate directly through our proprietary care platform.
One powerful relationship. Five principles behind it.
1. We treat the whole person
We don't believe in "eat less, move more" as a strategy. Weight gain is multifactorial — and so is weight loss.
Coaches work with each member to understand what's actually driving their patterns: nutrition, sleep, stress, emotional eating, autopilot habits, lack of routine. Then we co-create a real-world plan — one that adapts to life, not the other way around.
2. We’re grounded in evidence
Our coaches bring clinical training in ACT and CBT-based methods, stepwise goal setting, and research-backed dosing strategies.
And we contribute to the research too.
Our team co-authored the TRIM study: 2,694 real-world participants, 16.7% average weight loss at 12 months, using one-third of the standard GLP-1 dose.
3. We meet members
where they are
Some need to build a routine from scratch. Some need to rebuild trust with food. Some are burned out from years of trying.
There's no set script. Coaches identify the right things to work on at the right time — through regular 1:1 check-ins, tailored habit plans, and in-app tracking that surfaces what's actually changing.
4. We support tapering, not dependency
We plan for tapering from day one — because when GLP-1s taper, appetite often returns. Without the right support, so does weight.
Coaches prepare members with nutrition strategies, habit reinforcement, and mindset work so the transition holds. 78.5% of members successfully tapered or stopped medication, with no average weight regain.
5. We stay in your corner
The clinical team behind every coach — physicians, nurses, psychologists, researchers — isn't just a safety net. It's what makes the coaching more precise. Side effects get flagged. Doses get adjusted.
Care stays coordinated through our clinician platform, Emblazer, start to finish.
When members reach their goal, they graduate into Embrace — our maintenance program that keeps progress going long after medication stops.
