Providing access to safe, affordable weight loss solutions is
more critical than ever yet many Americans do not have consistent
access to these life-changing treatments. Hims & Hers is
introducing the Service Appreciation Initiative to give
eligible U.S. military, veterans, teachers, nurses and first
responders the ability to benefit from compounded semaglutide
GLP-1s at significantly lower costs.
GLP-1 medications can support healthy weight loss along with a
reduced calorie diet and increased exercise by helping manage blood
sugar levels, curb cravings and suppress appetite, so people eat
less without feeling deprived. Hims & Hers offers a
comprehensive weight loss solution personalized for individuals
which may include compounded GLP-1 injections or oral weight loss
medication kits as deemed appropriate by the healthcare
provider.
Hims & Hers weight loss customers have seen tremendous
success on weight loss treatments. Based upon self-reported data
from approximately 12,000 customers subscribed to a comprehensive
Hims & Hers weight loss offering, customers report having lost,
on average, 10.2 pounds while on compounded GLP-1 injections and
6.3 pounds while on non-GLP-1 compounded oral medication kits,
along with a reduced calorie diet and exercise, between their
initial weight at consultation and their first check-in
approximately 4 weeks later.
“The current state of access to weight loss drugs isn’t serving
everyone who needs them,” said Andrew Dudum, CEO and co-founder of
Hims & Hers. “Safe and affordable healthcare solutions for
every individual should be the status quo. This initiative has the
potential to make a lasting impact in our communities by providing
more reliable, consistent access to these life-changing medications
for the millions of Americans who want a better, more affordable
way to take care of their health."
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 70% of
American adults have obesity or are overweight and at least 2.8
million people die each year due to being overweight or having
obesity.
- In 2019, The National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study
revealed that 32.7% of U.S. veterans have obesity. Veterans
with obesity report poorer health status and more disability days
compared to veterans without obesity.1
- A recent study by Legg et al.2 reported that the monthly
prevalence of obesity in U.S. active component military
members ranged from 15.0% in August 2020 to 19.3% in April 2021,
confirming a further growth trend.
- Obesity is a significant health problem among teachers,
with one study finding that 70.2% of female school teachers have
obesity.3
- 40% of police officers and firefighters have
obesity and 80% are overweight. Occupational hazards like stress,
sleep disruption, and shift work play a key role.4
- Of all healthcare jobs, obesity rates were significantly higher
with nurses compared to doctors, paramedics, technicians,
and other medical roles.5
"When you're giving so much to others, it can be hard to give
back to yourself," says Robin Seale, Hers Weight Loss Program
customer. "Frontline healthcare workers, like me, have busy
schedules, and it can feel daunting to go to the doctor’s office to
get the care you need, and even more daunting when you can't access
it. I'm so thankful that Hims & Hers is making it easier for
people like me to do something so important for our health by
providing access to healthcare at an affordable price."
In addition to providing access to weight loss treatment, Hims
& Hers knows that the most effective care requires
comprehensive, customizable treatment plans that address other
underlying factors that affect people’s weight – including
nutrition, behavior, and movement. Hims & Hers’ weight loss
program takes a holistic approach to managing weight, with
individual treatment plans personalized by licensed healthcare
providers on the Hims & Hers platform catered to each
individual’s specific needs.
Compounded GLP-1 injections are fulfilled and shipped from Hims
& Hers' affiliated pharmacies. The treatments customers receive
from Hims & Hers will always come from a state-licensed,
FDA-regulated facility. The company maintains high standards of
safety and quality in their ingredients and transparency in
operations.
