Our weight loss programme combines medical treatment with online lifestyle coaching and useful tools. This holistic approach ensures that you achieve lasting results.

Goodweigh offers weight-loss medicines such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Rybelsus and Mysimba, combined with an online weight-loss programme designed to help you lose weight permanently.

The final choice of medicine is determined based on your preferences and the decision of one of our doctors.

Weight-loss medicines aid weight loss through various mechanisms, such as reducing appetite, slowing down gastric emptying or affecting metabolic processes. Most prescription medicines work by influencing hormone balance, which makes you feel less hungry and keeps you feeling full for longer.

Weight-loss medication is intended for adults with a BMI of 30 or above (obesity) or a BMI of 27 or above in combination with weight-related health problems such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

One of our doctors will assess whether the medication is suitable for you, based on your health condition and medical history.

If the doctor ultimately decides that the programme is not suitable for you, or if you choose not to continue, you will receive a full refund.

No, weight-loss medication is a tool to help you, not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It works best when combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise and lifestyle changes. Goodweigh’s online weight-loss programme helps you achieve the best results.

Side effects vary from one medicine to another, but the most common ones are: nausea, diarrhoea or constipation, loss of appetite, headaches and tiredness. These side effects often subside after a few weeks. You can read more about the possible side effects on our medicines pages.

Yes, our programme has been designed with your safety in mind. We provide medical guidance and ongoing access to our Dutch doctors throughout the programme. We monitor medication safety through regular check-ins.

At Goodweigh, you start with an online consultation, during which a doctor assesses your health. If the medicine is suitable, you will be issued with a prescription and the medicine will be delivered to your home. You will also receive guidance to ensure that your treatment is effective and safe.

You have unlimited access to our Dutch doctors for support and guidance. You can also chat with our coaches whenever it suits you. Together, we create a supportive environment to help you succeed.

Absolutely! Our digital tools let you track your weight loss and waist measurements every day, as well as take photos of your progress.

In the Netherlands, weight-loss medication is not usually covered by health insurance. Check with your insurance provider to see if there are any exceptions that apply to your situation.

Our team is here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions about your medication or need some encouragement, please feel free to contact us at any time.

When you start, you will need to complete a medical questionnaire, which will be assessed by one of Goodweight’s Dutch doctors.

Based on the questionnaire, one of our doctors will contact you via a secure chat. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to ask the doctor questions. You can also send a message to our doctors at any time during your treatment if you have questions or wish to make changes.

Once the doctor has determined that a prescribed treatment is appropriate, they will approve your application and issue a prescription for you.

Our pharmacy will then have the treatment delivered to your home. This is where your weight loss programme begins.

No, our service is self-paced, so you can complete your online consultation whenever suits you. We save your progress so you can always come back and finish the consultation later.

In most cases, there is no need for phone or video calls. As soon as one of our doctors has reviewed your details, you will receive a reply via secure chat messages, which you can access via your Goodweigh account.

Once you have started your weight loss programme, you can schedule a (video) call with one of our health coaches, who can help you get off to a good start.

In addition, you can always contact our doctors and health coaches via secure chat messages whenever you wish.

Although our doctors assess individual circumstances in detail, the Goodweigh weight loss programme is generally not suitable for certain groups of patients, including pregnant or breastfeeding women, women actively trying to conceive, women who do not meet the criteria for being overweight or obese, and women over the age of 75.

If the doctor ultimately assesses that the programme is not suitable for you, or if you choose not to continue, you will receive a full refund.

Goodweigh’s coaches are experts in behavioural change and weight management. They’ll be in touch with you regularly to monitor your weight, waist measurement and motivation levels, and help you make lasting changes to your behaviour and lifestyle to lay the foundations for long-term results.
 
Our coaches guide you online every step of the way, celebrating your successes and helping you overcome obstacles. You can contact our coaches via chat whenever you like. Health coaching is included in the Goodweigh weight loss programme at no extra cost, because we do everything we can to help you reach your target weight for good.

When we lose weight, 20–40% of that weight loss consists of muscle mass. Loss of muscle mass can increase our risk of reduced bone density, fatigue, injuries and reduced strength, and also leads to a greater risk of weight gain.

Until now, all medical weight loss programmes have focused on weight loss, but Goodweigh is designed to help you maintain your weight after treatment. That is why our programme shifts the focus from short-term weight loss to fat loss and muscle preservation for life.

Health coaching is a key part of the Goodweigh weight loss programme because it helps our patients make lasting behavioural changes for long-term weight loss. Our coaches will support you throughout the programme and help you make small but effective changes to your eating habits, mindset and lifestyle that you can maintain for the rest of your life, so you don’t put the weight back on so easily once you finish the programme. Health coaching is included in the Goodweigh programme at no extra cost.

Goodweigh is the leading digital weight loss clinic in the Netherlands. This means you can consult a doctor from the comfort of your own home, whenever it suits you. You don’t even need to visit the chemist’s. Our programme includes free delivery to your door.

Unlike some weight loss programmes, ours delivers real, long-term results. The Goodweigh weight loss programme combines medically-based treatments with ongoing support from doctors, nurses, pharmacists and coaches to help you adopt lasting lifestyle habits. We take a holistic approach, where small but effective changes to your daily routine help you keep the weight off permanently.
