LWell Introduces Root Cause Weight Loss: Do You Know Your Archetype?

Kelly Bradley, MD — Weight Loss Specialist

If you’ve ever wondered why losing weight seems more challenging for you than others, you’re not alone. Studies show that up to 80% of people who lose weight regain it within a year, primarily because they don’t address the root cause of their weight gain. For many, weight gain isn’t just about diet and exercise — it’s a complex issue tied to unique factors like hormones, stress, or even underlying metabolic problems. Recognizing this, LWell has launched its new MedRedux program, designed to help individuals finally get answers to why they struggle with weight and, more importantly, provide the tools needed to take control.

The Archetype Approach: Personalized Pathways to Wellness  

MedRedux stands out from generic weight loss programs with its unique, personalized approach. It combines LWell’s “weight gain archetype,” the specific factors contributing to your weight issues, with a pharmacological approach as needed. Whether it’s hormonal imbalance or stress-induced metabolic disruption, the network of providers at LWell creates a clear understanding of your body’s condition, enabling you to tackle the root cause directly.

LWell’s process begins with an in-depth evaluation to identify each patient’s unique “archetype,” or root cause of weight gain. Based on the identified archetype, LWell determines the best course of action — whether patients need medically supervised medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists through the MedRedux program, a deeper dive into functional medicine with Jaime Reid Functional Wellness, nutrition with the LWell Registered Dietitians, or personalized health coaching through the LWell App.

Comprehensive and Personalized Care 

At the heart of the program is a comprehensive roadmap that guides you step-by-step through your weight loss journey. LWell helps you discover your specific weight gain archetype and create a personalized plan to finally make progress, whether through targeted nutrition, exercise, or even medication.

One exciting feature of MedRedux is its ability to determine whether GLP-1 receptor agonists — a type of medication that helps regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite — could be right for you. This determination is not made lightly. It’s based on a thorough evaluation of your health history, current condition, and the specific factors contributing to your weight issues, as identified by your “weight gain archetype.” GLP-1s have shown great success for people struggling with metabolic problems, and MedRedux evaluates whether this treatment is suitable based on your specific archetype or if another medication would be more effective.

Addressing the Root Cause Leads to Long-Term Success 

The team at LWell often hears, “I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work.” Caroline Fornshell, founder of LWell, explains why that is. “So many people fail to lose weight because they don’t address the root cause. MedRedux and the archetype system are designed to help you finally understand why your body is holding on to weight and whether a GLP-1 could give you the edge you need or if another solution would reverse weight gain more effectively.”

MedRedux isn’t just about throwing a plan at you and hoping it works. LWell’s registered dietitians, functional medicine providers, and healthcare professionals walk with you every step of the way. LWell’s system surrounds you with support, underscoring that you’re not alone in your journey. Whether you need help adjusting your diet or navigating insurance to get the weight loss medication you need, the team is there to make sure you have the support to succeed.

If you’ve been disheartened by past weight loss attempts, MedRedux at LWell offers a fresh start — a chance to finally address the underlying issues.
