Priced at $199 to start, followed by $199 per month, the program includes medication, if prescribed, and Noom's GLP-1 Companion for clinical care, coaching and supporting healthy habits. As it stands, the majority of patients on standardized protocols experience side effects. "In the Microdose GLP-1Rx Program, we set out to virtually eliminate side effects for the vast majority, so that more than 70% of people would encounter no side effects," explained Dr. Jeffrey Egler, Chief Medical Officer at Noom. Noom's protocol uses doses that are 25% or less of standard maintenance doses, and according to Noom's data, members on microdoses are far less likely to have destabilizing side effects—and still achieve results. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 47% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Microdosing:** Personalized microdosing protocols offer an innovative solution to reduce side effects while maintaining efficacy of treatments. - **Affordable Healthcare Solutions:** Affordable healthcare solutions like microdose programs reduce financial barriers to accessing essential medications. - **Integrated Health Platforms:** Integrated health platforms combine medication, coaching, and lifestyle support to enhance patient outcomes in a holistic manner. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pharmaceuticals:** The pharmaceutical industry explores microdosing as a method to improve patient adherence by minimizing adverse effects. - **Digital Health:** Digital health platforms capitalize on data and technology to support personalized medication regimes, empowering users with tailored support. - **Health and Wellness Coaching:** Health and wellness coaching industries integrate personalized care systems with medication adherence programs for comprehensive patient support. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Proactive Whole-Health Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proactive-health-microdose.md) - [Medication Cost Management Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glp1-medication-costs.md) - [GLP-1 Companion Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscle-defense.md) - [Personalized Diabetes Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diabetes-lifestyle-program.md) - [GLP-1 Medication-Offering Health Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futurhealth.md) - [GLP-1 Medication Support Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glp1-medication.md) - [Weight Loss Memberships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weight-loss-membership.md) - [Expanded Digital Healthcare Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-healthcare-platforms.md) - [Pharmacy-Led GLP-1 Support Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glp1-wellness-program.md)
