HealthyTogether is a new approach to weight management designed specifically for Veterans. Instead of working on weight loss alone, you and a close person in your life (like a spouse, family member, or friend) would work together through a 14-week virtual program. The program teaches skills around healthy eating, physical activity, and how to communicate and support each other through the process.
Many Veterans struggle with obesity, but traditional weight management programs don't work well for most people — less than 2% of eligible Veterans achieve meaningful weight loss. Research shows that having real support from people we care about makes a huge difference in weight loss success, so this trial tests whether including that support directly in the program helps more Veterans succeed.

If you qualify and are randomly selected to receive the intervention, you and your partner would attend 8 one-hour video sessions over 14 weeks with a trained clinician. The sessions cover nutrition, physical activity, weight management medications, goal-setting, and how to communicate and support each other effectively. The comparison group receives written information about weight management resources instead. Your weight and health will be tracked throughout the study.
