Frequently Asked Questions
Weight loss
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 treatments in combination with an online programme designed to promote long-term weight loss. The final treatment plan is determined based on your preferences and the recommendation of one of our experts.
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 a medication is suitable for you based on your health situation and medical history.
If the doctor ultimately decides that the program is not suitable for you, or if you decide not to continue with the program, you will receive a full refund.
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.
Yes, our program was designed with your safety in mind. We provide medical guidance and ongoing access to our Dutch doctors throughout the program. With regular check-ins, we monitor medication safety.
At Goodweigh, you start with an online intake, where a doctor assesses your health. If the medication is suitable, you will receive a prescription and the medication will be delivered to your home. You will also receive guidance on how to make the treatment effective and safe.
You have unlimited access to our Dutch doctors for support and guidance. In addition, you'll be supported by our health coaches, who you can access through chat whenever you want. Together, we'll create a supportive environment for your success.
Absolutely! Our digital tools allow you to measure your weight loss and waist circumference on a daily basis and take photos of your progress.
These treatments are not reimbursed by health insurance and are not covered by statutory health insurance. Whether your private health insurance will cover the costs depends on your individual insurance policy.
Our team is here to help you every step of the way. Whether you have questions about your medication or need motivation, get in touch at any time.
Online consultation
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 will have the opportunity to ask the doctor questions. You can also send our doctors a message at any time during the treatment if you have any questions or would like to make changes.
Once the doctor has determined that prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your application and issue you a prescription.
Our pharmacy will then have the treatment delivered to your home. This is where your weight loss program begins.
In most cases, no. Once your details have been verified, an expert will contact you via the chat function in your Goodweigh account. Once you have started your programme, you can arrange a video call with one of our health advisers if you wish. Our experts and advisers are available via the chat function at any time.
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 have started your weight loss program, you can schedule a (video) meeting with one of our health advisors to help you get off to a good start.
In addition, you can contact our doctors and health advisors via secure chat messages whenever you want.
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 ultimately decides that the program is not suitable for you, or if you decide not to continue with the program, you will receive a full refund.
health coaching
Goodweigh's health coaches are experts in behavioral change and weight management. They contact you regularly to track your weight, waist circumference and motivation levels and help you make sustainable changes in your behavior and lifestyle to lay the foundation for lasting results.
Our coaches accompany you every step of the way online, celebrate your victories, and help you overcome obstacles. You can reach our coaches via chat at any time. Health coaching is included in the Goodweigh weight loss program at no additional cost, because we do everything we can to help you finally reach your target weight.
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.
Until now, all medical weight loss programs have focused on weight loss, but Goodweigh was developed 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 lifelong muscle maintenance.
Health coaching is a key part of the Goodweigh weight-loss programme. It helps our patients achieve lasting behavioural changes for long-term weight loss. Our coaches are on hand to support you throughout the programme, helping you to make small but effective changes to your diet, mindset and lifestyle. You can maintain these changes for the rest of your life, making it less likely that you will regain weight once the programme has finished. Health coaching is included in the Goodweigh programme at no extra cost.
Goodweigh is the digital weight loss clinic in the Netherlands. That means you get in touch with a Dutch doctor from the comfort of your own home and at your convenience. You don't even have to go to the pharmacy to pick up your treatment, as our program includes free delivery to your door.
Unlike some weight loss programs, our program offers real long-term results. The Goodweigh weight loss program combines medically sound treatments with ongoing support from doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and trainers to help you adopt sustainable lifestyle habits that will last. We take a holistic approach to weight loss with small but effective lifestyle changes to help you reduce your weight for good.
