The Michigan Weight Navigation Program Study, or the MiWeigh Study for short is to determine whether people who participate in the MiWeigh Program lose more weight than people who receive information about weight loss strategies and programs to lose weight.

Everyone who joins the study will receive information on weight-loss treatment options and some general tips and apps that may be helpful for weight management. Some participants will be randomly chosen to have an hour-long virtual visit with a Michigan Medicine physician trained in obesity medicine. 

Participants will not be required to follow a specific plan. Rather, they will work with the doctor to determine what would be the best approach for them.
