Wondr Health FAQ

How does the Wondr Program work?

The most effective clinical weight loss programs in the world are based on learning new skills about when and how to eat, not dieting. It is an online program that starts with twelve sessions of skill-building in the Wondrskills portion of the program. Each week you will have access to 30-45 minute video lessons. Additionally, you have a dashboard to track your weight loss progress as well as tips and tools to keep you motivated and allow you to communicate with coaches and other participants. After the first twelve sessions, you will move into the Wondrup and you will practice and build on foundational skills to prevent weight regain. Once you’ve mastered those skills you will move into Wondrlast which helps you maintain progress and keep the weight off with weekly episodes on participantsrequested and seasonal topics based on the latest research.
