WeightWatchers Launches Menopause Program Featuring Queen Latifah

WeightWatchers has launched a new program, WeightWatchers for Menopause, aimed at supporting women through perimenopause to postmenopause by combining weight management with comprehensive medical care, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and GLP-1 medications. Queen Latifah, navigating menopause herself, is the new spokesperson, bringing empathy and visibility to this underserved health stage. The program offers holistic support such as menopause-trained coaches, nutrition guidance tailored to changing hormonal needs, fitness routines, and access to clinicians for personalized medical care. Studies indicate that women participating in the program lost nearly four times more weight than those managing menopause independently, with an average weight loss of 18.6% of body weight in a year. This initiative is part of WeightWatchers' broader overhaul under CEO Tara Comonte, focusing on medical care and digital health, and will soon expand internationally. The company aims to fill gaps in menopause care, traditionally overlooked and difficult to access, by providing a comprehensive, science-backed, and community-supported approach.
