Programmes are made up of 12 different modules. Our doctors and coaches shape the patient modules based on patient goals, their motivation to change and coach interactions. Coach support is personalised to each individual, and modules are used depending on patient need.

WHAT PATIENTS SAY ABOUT ADDED HEALTH

Added Health has really helped me retake control of my eating and my health. I feel so positive in myself again.

Linda, 50s

Within 6 weeks with Added Health, my cholesterol, blood pressure and urates were down, I lost 7kg. I felt energetic and mentally sharper. The osteoarthritis in my hips was improved. So, I came off meds for cholesterol and gout because it’s under control naturally. By 12 weeks, I had lost 10kg, my waist was 2″ less and I remain off all meds still. Added Health has helped me recalibrate what good health and wellness look like.

Simon, 50s

Added Health has helped me create habits I can actually stick to. Living healthily isn’t a fad — with my coach’s constant support, I’ve made it a permanent lifestyle choice and I can’t see myself going back. The change has been remarkable: I sleep better, I’ve lots more energy, my blood pressure is lower and I lost 20kg in 12 weeks.

Dan, 40s

The Added Health Gut Reset™ has helped me lose a stubborn 35 lbs and reduce my waist from 40” to 35”. Most importantly, I’ve been able to work with my GP to stop or reduce my medication for high blood pressure, gout and asthma — conditions I’ve struggled with for more than 20 years!

KD, 50s

Feedback from a current 100-patient hypertension pilot in a South Oxfordshire practice has been positive. Added Health supported the practice with recruitment material, and 120 hypertensive patients have signed up to the service for the personalised 12-week programme. The practice has reported that the onboarding process has run smoothly and not generated any extra work for the staff. The pilot is in its early phases, but data will be available in the coming weeks.
