Reveal the hidden barriers to sustainable weight loss by applying the new science of human obesity and the long term benefits of whole person care.


Obesity affects more than 100 million adults in the U.S. and represents an urgent national problem. Traditional weight loss programs have failed to achieve improved outcomes that are sustainable and improve Americans’ long-term health.^

Obesity is deeply influenced by our cultural environment, societal norms, genetics, and daily behaviors. Factors like depression, anxiety, social determinants, loneliness, emotional burnout, poor sleep, and limited access to healthy foods and healthy eating skills are key drivers to address.

New effective, but costly, anti-obesity medications (AOMs), such as GLP-1s, are now available. But they are probably best used only as short term clinical tools and prescribed as part of a comprehensive, long term obesity management approach.*

Silver Fern’s Obesity Program helps care delivery teams prescribing AOMs to efficiently address root behavioral and psychsocial drivers of obesity among their patients and guide them to sustainable, long term weight loss and better health.

By asking Silver Fern questions that I would not have thought of and working with members to set up realistic and achievable goals in their daily lives, ultimately that helps them set up routines that turn into a lifestyle over time and sets them up for success.
