Weight Management – thoughtful, clinical support for every body
We believe that conversations about weight should happen only if and when you want them to. Healthcare should be kind, respectful, and customized to you.

Care that treats the whole you—not just the number on the scale
Our weight management program is based on science, not shame. We know that weight is complex and it’s shaped by your biology, health history, medications, sleep, stress, and more. Not just what you eat or how much you move. Medical weight management needs to be overseen by a clinician because your health and safety come first. Prescription medications for weight must be carefully chosen, started, and adjusted based on how your body responds.
We take a whole-person approach by listening, looking at your medical history, and talking with you about your health goals and any challenges you're facing. Then, we build a plan together that supports both your body and your life.
knownwell works closely with your existing primary care provider to coordinate your care. If you don’t have a primary care provider, you can establish care with a knownwell clinician.
Meet Susan
Susan is 58 and recently retired. With her first grandchild on the way, she’s excited to stay active and enjoy this next chapter—traveling, connecting with family, and focusing on her well-being.
She’s navigating menopause and has tried several diet trends in the past that didn’t give her the lasting results she hoped for. Now, Susan is looking for a care team that truly listens and works with her to build a sustainable plan that fits her life.
Getting started at knownwell
Select moments along the timeline to explore Susan’s journey.
Susan is referred to knownwell by her primary care physician
She registers and books her first visit with a knownwell clinician. With her consent, we gather her medical records and have her fill out a quick questionnaire so that she’s known well— even before her first visit.
Susan attends her first visit with a licensed physician
Susan’s glad the visit is 2-3x longer than the average clinic. She and Dr. Fitch build a comprehensive care plan together.
She’s excited for her personalized plan, including medical nutrition counseling, guidance on sleep and stress, and an FDA approved GLP-1 medication.

Coverage support team
knownwell’s prior authorization team works to get Susan’s GLP-1 medication covered by insurance and keeps her in the loop.
Clinical Dietitian support
Susan has her first visit with Arianna and works with her to create a nutrition plan that is realistic and practical.
Virtual medication support
Susan is ready for her first dose of GLP-1 and is a bit nervous about the injection process. She meets virtually with Mona, a pharmacist at knownwell, who walks her through it.
Ongoing personalized care support

Ongoing support
Susan starts implementing lifestyle changes while continuing medication and keeping track of her progress and messaging with her care team as needed in the patient app.
Ongoing lifestyle support
Susan optionally checks in with her care team, including Deb, a Nurse Practitioner, on how her lifestyle changes are going and to help coach her on sleep, stress, and other potential impediments to her goals.
6 Month visit
Susan has her 6 month check in visit and is happy with her progress. She’s lost 40lbs! Dr. Fitch also helps adjust her blood pressure medication, given she now needs a lower dosage.
Follow-up visit
Susan is worried she’s losing momentum and has hit a plateau, so she schedules a follow-up visit.
Susan and Dr. Fitch implement an intervention plan to course correct, she redoubles her lifestyle changes and goes on a higher dose of her GLP-1 medication.

Centers that are comfortable, private, and welcoming
knownwell centers are designed to feel significantly different from traditional healthcare settings. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the difference: warm lighting, calming colors, and welcoming spaces that don’t feel clinical. We’ve prioritized comfort, dignity, and psychological safety in every detail from wide hallways and size-inclusive seating to quiet, calming reception areas.
You’ll never be weighed in a hallway, and we only ask for your weight when it’s relevant to your care plan, always with your consent and in a private setting. Our exam and consult rooms are spacious and calming and have enhanced sound privacy for your confidentiality and designed for real conversations and personalized care. More than just beautiful, our spaces are built to support trust and connection because where you receive care matters just as much as how you receive it.
