Afslankmedicatie

Our weight loss program combines medical treatment with online lifestyle coaching by our health coaches. This holistic approach ensures that you achieve lasting results.

Goodweigh offers an online weight loss program that aims to permanently lose weight supported by weight loss medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda and Rybelsus.

The final medication will be determined based on your preference and the decision by one of our doctors.

Weight loss medications help with weight loss through various mechanisms, such as reducing appetite, delaying gastric emptying, or influencing metabolic processes. Most prescription medications work by affecting the hormone balance, making you feel less hungry and feeling full for longer.

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

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

If the doctor finally decides that the program is not suitable for you, or if you choose not to continue, you will be reimbursed the full amount.

No, weight loss medication is a tool and not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It works best in combination with a balanced diet, regular exercise and behavioral change. Goodweigh's online weight loss program helps you achieve the best results.

Side effects vary by medication, but the most common are: nausea, diarrhea or constipation, loss of appetite, headache, and tiredness. These side effects often subside after a few weeks. You can read more about the possible side effects on our medication pages.

Once you start, you complete a medical questionnaire for evaluation by one of the Dutch Goodweigh doctors.

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

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

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

No, our care takes place completely asynchronously, so you can complete your online consultation in your own time. We'll save your progress so you can come back later to complete the consultation whenever you want.

In most cases, there is no need for a phone or video call. Once one of our doctors has reviewed your information, you will receive a response via secure chat messages that you can access via your Goodweigh account.

Once you've started your weight loss program, you can schedule a (video) meeting with one of our health coaches to help you get off to a flying start.

Although our doctors review individual circumstances in detail, the Goodweigh weight loss program is generally not appropriate for certain groups of patients, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or actively trying to become pregnant, who do not meet the definition of overweight or obesity, and who are over 75 years old.

If the doctor finally decides that the program is not suitable for you, or if you choose not to continue, you will be reimbursed the full amount.

When we lose weight, 20-40% of it consists of muscle mass. Loss of muscle mass can increase our risk of lower bone density, fatigue, injuries, decreased strength and also leads to a greater chance of weight gain.


So far, all medical weight loss programs have focused on weight loss, but Goodweigh is designed to help you maintain your weight after treatment. That's why our program shifts the focus from short-term weight loss to fat loss and muscle preservation for life.

Our health coaches will be by your side throughout the program and help you make small but effective changes in your diet, mindset, and lifestyle that you can maintain for life, so you're less likely to gain weight when you leave the program.
