Join us for another episode of Digital Health Heavyweights hosted by Norm Volsky, where we sit down with Dr. Nicholas Syhler and Laust Axelsen, co-founders of Embla, to discuss how personalized obesity care is transforming the future of healthcare.
In this episode, Nicholas and Laust share the founding story behind Embla and explain why obesity should be treated as a chronic disease rather than a lifestyle issue. By combining medical expertise, behavioral coaching, and GLP-1 medications, Embla is helping patients achieve sustainable health outcomes through a personalized, digital-first approach to care.
The conversation explores the growing role of GLP-1 therapies in healthcare, why individualized treatment plans are essential for long-term success, and how employers can better support employee health while managing rising healthcare costs. Nicholas and Laust also discuss the importance of behavior change, measuring clinical and financial outcomes, and what the future of chronic disease management looks like in an increasingly digital healthcare landscape.
"The future of obesity care isn't just about medication—it's about delivering personalized care that creates lasting behavior change and better health outcomes."
Nicholas and Laust share several key principles employers and healthcare leaders should consider when evaluating obesity care and digital health solutions:
- Personalized Obesity Care - GLP-1 Medication Management - Behavioral Coaching and Long-Term Health Outcomes - Digital-First Healthcare Delivery - Employer Benefits and Healthcare Cost Management - Chronic Disease Management Strategies - Clinical Outcomes and ROI Measurement - The Future of Personalized Healthcare
