About Second Nature

Second Nature is a digital health company that provides comprehensive weight management and metabolic health services combining medical treatment with behaviour change support. The company offers a whole-person approach that integrates GLP-1 medications (such as Wegovy and Mounjaro), personalised nutrition coaching from registered nutritionists, habit formation tools, and community support to help people achieve sustainable weight loss. Founded by scientists Chris and Mike who were frustrated with traditional calorie-counting and fad diets, Second Nature has developed a clinically proven programme that helps 9 out of 10 people lose weight and keep it off. The programme provides daily educational articles on nutrition science and psychology, hundreds of recipes catering to all dietary preferences, tracking tools, and ongoing support from registered nutritionists. Second Nature serves over 300,000 NHS patients and is used by more than half of all NHS Health and Care boards in the UK, making it the first app-based behaviour change service commissioned by the NHS. The company also partners with health insurers like Vitality Insurance and employers. Their services span self-guided weight management, Tier 2 and Tier 3 weight management programmes, medication-supported weight loss, type 2 diabetes prevention, and type 2 diabetes management. Clinical outcomes show members maintain an average 6.2kg weight loss at 12 months, with 40% of participants reducing HbA1c levels below the type 2 diabetes threshold. The company's research has been published in 13 peer-reviewed studies across leading medical journals including the British Medical Journal, Obesity, and Diabetic Medicine.
