What does HWFL mean in MEDICAL

Healthy Weight For Life (HWFL) is an online program created by Harvard Medical School to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight. It combines the latest research in nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management with expert instruction to create an individualized plan for weight loss or maintenance.

With HWFL, users complete questionnaires about their eating habits, physical activity, stress levels, sleep patterns and other lifestyle factors. Using this information, HWFL creates a personalized weight-loss plan tailored to each user's needs and goals. The step-by-step plan includes meal plans, grocery lists, recipes and tips for improving health behaviors.

Yes! With your purchase of HWFL you receive access to personalized support from experienced professionals on the phone or via video chat during office hours. You'll also get access to our private Facebook community where members can share stories and get advice from peers who are on their own health journey.

Although HWFL is designed to be safe for everyone at all fitness levels, it may not be suitable for everyone's unique medical history or existing health conditions. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider prior to beginning any new diet or exercise routine.

At this time we do not accept insurance but offer discounted packages that may make services more affordable. Additionally many employers offer wellness dollars that can be used towards programs such as ours.
