What happens after you move matters just as much as the movement itself. Regular activity supports metabolic health, body composition and even mental well-being. As Jessica Kiel explains, consistent movement is also linked to lower risk of chronic conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It doesn’t have to be extreme. It just has to happen — again and again.
Today is National Supply Chain Day. Join us in thanking our Supply Chain team members across Medifast for their commitment to the quality, continuous improvement, and logistics that make our products a leader in metabolic health.
We gathered for our first Healthy Habits Book Club meeting of the year earlier this month, virtually gathering team members from across the country. Each person brings a book they recently read to share with the group – we always leave with exciting recommendations. We appreciate these times we get to slow down and expand our interests together.
Last month, we celebrated 365 Safe Work Days at our Owings Mills Plant. This is a major milestone in supply chain management, showing commitment to excellence and daily support for each other. Join us in congratulating the team!

Love learning about the science behind metabolic synchronization? We have a great content team working to showcase our science and products. Give them some love on these behind the scenes shots! #bts #lifelongtransformation #mylifeatmedifast
Earlier this year, the Medifast community came together for our annual All Company Meeting. We're grateful for these times together to not only share business updates, but to connect with each other as we unite in addressing the challenges of metabolic dysfunction. We also had a lot of fun with our friendly competition team building activity!
Health doesn’t happen in isolation. In this Health by Design clip, Dr. A, co-founder of OPTAVIA, and Nicholas Johnson, President of Medifast, discuss why community plays such a powerful role in long-term metabolic health. The environment around us shapes our habits, our mindset and ultimately our outcomes. When people come together around shared goals — supporting one another, learning together and celebrating progress — healthy change becomes easier to sustain. Because metabolic health isn’t just physical. It’s mental, social and emotional too.
What are the earliest signs that metabolism might be out of balance? In this clip, Dr. Holly Lofton shares a common story she hears from patients: “My labs are normal, but I don’t feel like myself.” Persistent fatigue, low energy, unexplained weight changes and a general sense of malaise can all be early signs of metabolic dysfunction — even when standard lab work looks fine.
Why go back and reanalyze the clinical study data now? In this clip, Dr. Satya Jonnalagadda explains how evolving science — and growing concern around poor metabolic health — prompted her team to take a deeper look at existing clinical data through a new lens. While obesity has long been a public health concern, emerging research shows that poor metabolic health is even more widespread. That insight led the team to revisit the data collected in the clinical study — not just to look at weight loss, but to understand what that weight loss represented. What they found was bigger than the scale: • A reduction in visceral fat — the type linked to inflammation and metabolic dysfunction • Weight loss that predominantly came from fat, not lean mass • Preservation of lean mass, including healthy muscle that supports active metabolism By connecting these outcomes, the data revealed how the comprehensive approach supports metabolic health — not just weight change. This conversation highlights why science is never static — and why revisiting data with new questions can unlock meaningful insights that matter today.
