Better health, better lives: How the Body membership is helping patients reach their goals
Survey results reveal how patients’ lives have changed
For nearly two years, patients have come to Ro for high-quality care centered around GLP-1s.
Weight loss is a goal for these patients – but it’s not their only motivation. They have life goals that go beyond a number on the scale. Things like running around with their kids or grandchildren, traveling the world, or feeling more confident in their personal or professional lives are all deeply important quality of life goals for our patients.
We surveyed current members on a GLP-1 treatment to learn about their journeys and how their lives have changed since joining Ro. Learn more about the survey and its methodology below.
GLP-1s are turning down the 'food noise' 🍔 🔊
People describe food noise as persistent internal chatter about food and continually thinking about what to eat next, even when they aren’t hungry. Trying to make lifestyle modifications can feel impossible with this frequent, intrusive inner dialogue.
Patients tell us how burdensome it can be to deal with these thoughts in their day-to-day lives. Our results show that food noise disappeared or quieted once patients started a GLP-1 medication through Ro. Without the noise, they report feeling like they finally have a chance at reaching their weight loss goals.
To hear about the real-life impacts of the Body membership, our Ambassador Noelle is here to share how her life has changed since starting her GLP-1 journey through Ro.
Ro's experience is convenient and effective 🩺 ✅
We designed the Body membership to make high-quality care easier throughout every step of the patient experience. Whether patients have a question about their medication, need to report a side effect, or want to track their progress, they report feeling like their provider is there for them with the effective care and support they need.
Patients are doing more of what they love 🛼 🪂
Living a happier and more fulfilled life means doing more of what you love and feeling good doing it. Patients report benefits spanning well beyond their weight and the number they see on the scale. Patients are achieving personal goals and living fuller lives as they continue to progress on their health journeys.
"Ditching body shaming from my youth and embracing clothes that show my stomach and make me feel cute instead."
Continuing to hear from patients
Listening to our patients and hearing their experiences allows us to better understand their goals and empowers us to continually improve the care and support they get through Ro. We’ll continue to ask for patient feedback so that we can provide the best patient experience possible as we help them achieve their health goals.
Important Safety Information: GLP-1 medications may have serious side effects, including possible thyroid tumors. Do not use them if you or your family have a history of a type of thyroid cancer called MTC or MEN 2. See complete information, including Boxed Warning, at ro.co/safety-info/glp1
Methodology
Survey results are based on the responses of 1,243 Ro members with BMI ≥30, or BMI ≥27 plus a weight-related condition, who took GLP-1 medication for at least 7 weeks paired with diet and exercise. A Ro membership includes access to prescription GLP-1 medications, provider check-ins, an insurance concierge, and a lifestyle modification curriculum. Results labeled "after nearly a year" indicate responses from patients who had been on treatment through Ro for at least 44 weeks (n=163). The survey was not formally validated.
