In the company’s own words
Medifast, Inc. ("Medifast," the "Company," "we" or "us") is the 40+ year old health and wellness company known for its science-backed, coach-guided lifestyle system. As we enter 2026, the Company is moving from transformation to execution, leveraging its extensive experience in structured weight loss coupled with recent scientific research and enhanced product offerings to address the needs of a broader metabolic health market. Medifast’s approach focuses on addressing the root cause of metabolic dysfunction. This strategic shift targets a larger and more sustainable market, focusing on a long-term growth strategy designed to guide the Company over the next decade by aligning science, products, and coaching with increasing demand for new solutions as awareness of metabolic dysfunction grows.
This growth strategy is fueled by improving coach productivity and expanding our coach network.

The Company offers a simple, yet comprehensive approach to achieving optimal metabolic health and well-being by empowering individuals to make lasting changes. Through the dedicated support of our coaches, approximately 90% of whom were clients first, our clients are guided through every step of their wellness journey.
