Learn more about Alfie today

Alfie is the first program to utilize personalized weight loss algorithms to optimize your weight loss through clinically proven science. We utilize intake data from lab results, questionnaires, and physical tests to determine why your body specifically gains weight and through which pathways it will most easily lose weight.

We then take this data to determine which medication, if any, will be most effective to help you lose weight. Based on ongoing data we collect from your connected smart devices and responses to our care team, we update your medication(s) on a biweekly basis to optimize your weight loss if needed.

We've been in your shoes and are tired of programs that prescribe blanket medications.

Alfie is for anyone over the age of 18 with a BMI of 30 and above or 27 and above with comorbidities such as obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, dislypidemia, etc. We'll work with you to determine the best combination of medications and coaching to help you lose weight.

Your metabolic profile is a combination of metabolic hormones, questionnaires, and physical measurements like waist size that help determine exactly which brain pathways control your weight gain. This allows us to determine the most effective combination of medications to optimize your weight loss.

In fact, up to 50% of people have been shown to be non-responders to certain weight loss medications. When you sign up for Alfie, we utilize this metabolic profile to make sure your weight loss plan is as effective as possible.

Precision medicine for weight loss is a new paradigm that classifies mechanisms of weight gain based on individual humans rather than assuming all weight gain is the same. Such classifications allow us to maximize weight loss effectiveness and safety.

Based on your metabolic profile, your Alfie providers will determine the right medications or combination of medications to optimize how you lose weight. Simultaneously, we'll follow up at frequent, regular intervals to titrate your medications (change the quantity or dosage) based on the accountability data we receive from you.

Alfie is the first and only weight loss program that offers precision weight loss based on a complete metabolic profile. Rather than prescribe blanket medications to all users, we use cutting-edge research to optimize your weight loss through a specific understanding of your exact metabolism.

Alfie is not a replacement for your primary care provider or any specialists who are currently managing your care, although we look forward to working with them.

Rather than giving you a total life makeover, your health coach will work with you to determine manageable weekly goals that you can complete in order to start building lifestyle habit changes.
