Frequently Asked Questions
Ilant Health partners with providers, payers, and employers to provide patients struggling with obesity support in deciding on the treatment most suited to them and in succeeding on that treatment. Ilant provides peer coaching, personalized assessments and digital tools, and ongoing patient engagement and support. Additional services, such as nutritional and psych support and obesity medicine are coming soon. Ilant was founded by a team who has been through the confusing and stigma-ridden journey of obesity, and is dedicated to this mission of treating obesity like the medical condition it is in a safe and supportive environment.
Many programs out there seek to address obesity through diet and exercise, or medication only. Ilant uses data and evidence-based practices to address obesity for the medical condition it is with ongoing services to support the continuous process that is obesity management. We pair patients with peer coaches who have been through the most effective treatments, like bariatric procedures and/or medications, to share their experiences and de-stigmatize these treatments that are scientifically proven to be more effective at weight loss and longer lasting than the programs espousing “greater willpower for diet & exercise.”
Ilant is free to members. We partner with providers, payers, and employers to provide our services and supports.
We have partners throughout the United States.

A peer coach is someone who has been through the obesity treatment journey and can give members an honest view on the lived experience of different treatment options. Talking to someone who can provide this personal perspective can help reduce the stigma long associated with obesity and can support members in taking action.
Ilant supports all treatment modalities that have been shown to be effective for treating obesity and addressing metabolic health - these include intense behavioral therapy, which has generally been shown to deliver 3-5% reduction in weight, anti-obesity medications, which have been shown to deliver weight reductions between 5-15%, and bariatric procedures, which have been shown to deliver weight reductions of 25-30%.
Further, Ilant focuses pairing individuals with the treatment that is most likely to be effective for them, taking into account medical and personal history.
Currently, Ilant’s services are focused on providing personalized tools and assessments as well as peer coaching and peer support groups. We are expanding quickly and anticipate adding nutritional, psych, and obesity medicine support in 2023.
