About us
Found is an evidence-based weight care platform pioneering integrated support through personalized clinical guidance, expert coaching, online community, and if indicated, prescription medication. We are one of the largest telehealth weight loss clinics in the U.S. having served 250K+ members. We believe that weight care is complex and goes beyond having the willpower to eat less and move more. We believe in the power of biology, genetics, sleep, stress, mental health and daily habits and we work with each factor to achieve long-lasting results. Our goals are to address the long-term risks associated with ineffective weight management, to reimagine the narrow and outdated cultural narrative around weight, and to empower our community with tools that will help them find self-acceptance and add years to their lives.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Rekha Kumar, M.D, M.S., spoke with DailyMail.com about what we should take away from the newest study on Wegovy – and why even a 5% reduction in body weight can have massive benefits for your health. Read the full article below. ⬇️ #healthcare #metabolichealth

I spoke with Maiya Focht about the long-term weight loss effects of semaglutide in obesity without diabetes in the SELECT trial (study here: https://t.co/XGmvk3YnOg). Here’s what I’m taking away: 💡 It showed cardiovascular benefits even in those who did not lose weight. Another signal of the possible benefits of GLP1s beyond weight loss. 💡 Sustained weight loss is possible, despite the body’s natural desire to regain the weight – it’s the longest study we’ve seen of semaglutide for weight loss and participants maintained it over four years. 💡 We must continue to think beyond the scale – weight loss as “low” as 5% can still lead to overall health benefits. 💡 Diet and exercise alone simply isn’t enough for many to achieve health. Let’s continue to remove shame from the conversation around using medication and allow decisions to be made between patients and their providers. Read the piece here: https://lnkd.in/ewmHepZG
