Key Takeaways

HIMS' platform bundles all Wegovy strengths with 24/7 care and personalized coaching access.
HIMS targets obesity as a chronic condition via GLP-1 meds despite regulatory uncertainty.
The renowned health and wellness platform, Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (HIMS - Free Report) , has increasingly prioritized weight loss as a key area of growth and innovation in its healthcare platform. In recent months, the company introduced a six-month Wegovy offer priced at $549 per month for eligible new customers. This initiative was designed to improve affordability and sustained access to prescription weight loss medication, bundled with holistic support such as clinical oversight and nutritional guidance. The program reflects Hims & Hers’ broader strategy to make proven obesity treatments more connected and accessible through technology-driven, consumer-friendly healthcare delivery.
Hims & Hers’ platform currently offers bundled access to all strengths of Wegovy with around-the-clock care, clinical support and personalized nutrition coaching. This integrated approach, provided at a unified monthly price, is aimed at improving long-term health outcomes for people living with obesity. These efforts align with Hims & Hers’ broader vision of consumer-centered healthcare that puts individuals at the center of care decisions and delivers a seamless patient experience across digital touchpoints.
Weight loss is also deeply integrated into Hims & Hers’ long-term strategy. The company identified weight loss among chronic conditions as being actively targeted through personalized, subscription-based telehealth offerings. It launched access to compounded and branded GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, addressing rising consumer demand and market shortages. Despite regulatory uncertainties, such as the FDA’s February 2025 resolution of the semaglutide shortage, HIMS continues to expand its weight loss platform, reinforcing it as a high-growth specialty with significant consumer relevance.
