Our Approach to Health is Backed By Science
Our lifestyle plans — backed by 40+ years of scientific and clinical heritage — are clinically proven to deliver health benefits. Guided by the type of support that can help you lose more weight than dieting on your own*.
How science shapes our program*2019 clinical study where participants who had the support of a coach lost up to 10x more weight* than the self-directed group. Based on the results of a 16-week clinical study, those who participated in at least 75% of their 23 assigned OPTAVIA coaching calls lost 15.2 lbs. compared to 6.7 pounds for those participating in fewer calls.
