Building stronger people, systems, and outcomes in the GLP-1 era.

The next era of health benefits won’t be bought. It will be built. I help organizations shift from paying for sickness to designing for strength.

People want to be healthy. They want to thrive.
Many see GLP-1s as the solution.
Without a solid strategy, providing access will increase utilization – but not necessarily improve outcomes.

65%

of people who take a glp-1 for weight loss stop it within a year

60%

regain all or most of the lost weight within a year after stopping

Solving for this requires a deeper understanding of the problem – and a carefully-crafted strategy.

Speaking

Dr. Younglove’s superpower is translating the complex science into something understandable – and helping craft solutions that work.

She helps employers, health plans, and health systems design benefits and care pathways that improve health and retention while controlling cost. Quoted by outlets such as Reuters, Medscape, and Glamour, she translates complex medical science into strategic insight for business audiences seeking a smarter path forward in the GLP-1 era.

  • Evolutionary Mismatch?

    Since I began practicing Obesity Medicine, I have been telling patients that obesity is a consequence of an environmental mismatch; how our bodies are designed to function (eat, sleep, move, connect, etc.) is radically different from how we currently live. Having excess weight is a common outcome of this mismatch, although it certainly isn’t the…
