THE DIFFERENCE

Engaging Patients. Empowering Physicians.

We believe that physicians and other healthcare providers play a crucial role as agents of change in supporting their patients in the process of weight management. At the same time we understand that it is a challenge to address the subject of obesity in a practical manner with the existing available resources.

The platform is designed to leverage the providers influence in a way that results in powerful interventions that make a difference in patients’ lives.

Our Member offering has been developed by a team of experienced clinicians who understand these challenges first hand and have created a solution to overcome these obstacles.

The Member Track allows the practice to: • Provide patients with an evidence-based solution for medically significant long term weight management • Benefit from the support of SetPoint Health advisors to fill in the gaps in patient care that many practitioners aren’t able to provide • Maintain control of patient care using a practice branded portal • Choose the intensity of provider participation in the weight management process • Integrate easy-to-use tools and resources for patients to develop the skills of lifestyle change • Eliminate the need to hire staff, carry product inventory or add additional overhead • Offer a range of program options to meet the individual needs of patients

The Truth About Weight Management SetPoint Health programs are based on the extensive research and clinical experience of Dr. George L. Blackburn, who has refined the science of sustainable weight loss over the past 40 years. The evidence gained through Dr. Blackburn’s work demonstrates that successful long-term weight management requires the development of skills to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors. We understand that for most patients weight management is a lifelong effort where the real battle isn’t losing the weight – it’s in keeping the weight off.

THE PLATFORM

Building the skills of lifestyle change into an integrated platform The SetPoint Health “platform” is comprised of innovative products, programs and technology.

We have deliberately integrated these components into our programs so that the value of the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Our commitment is to bring together the knowledge, tools, products and support required to build the skills of lifestyle change. The platform provides a powerful conduit by linking health providers and their patients in a convenient and meaningful way to promote lifestyle change and long-term weight management.

The platform not only provides valuable tools to be used by the patient, it also delivers, equally powerful functionality that leverages the role of healthcare professionals. By providing real-time feedback, the practice is able to extend its reach beyond traditional office visits in a practical and meaningful way.

The most common obstacles the platform has been developed to overcome include, • Insufficient time to engage the patient in a meaningful discussion about weight management • Inadequate resources to support the patient in the process • Lack of training and confidence in the provision of weight management and lifestyle change guidance • Absence of practical weight management solutions capable of easy integration

THE PRODUCTS

Building a bridge to healthier eating At SetPoint Health, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality programs and service.

That same level of commitment applies to the development of our food products. As a leader in product innovation with years of manufacturing experience, we incorporate only the highest quality ingredients. Our unique product formulations place the priority on the consumer’s demand for nutritional quality, taste and convenience.

Vitamin Supplements

Protein Supplements

Food Options

The SPH Eating Plan SetPoint Health eating plans are based on a combination of vitamins, protein supplements, meal replacements and fresh foods. We’ve purposefully created our product line along this spectrum to address the fact that the use of products as part of an eating plan will vary from person to person – and can in fact vary for the same person over time.

Using nutritional products as part of the daily plan eliminates the question of “what to eat?” while providing the structure patients need to stay on track and focus more of their energy on learning and applying the skills of lifestyle change. Our eating plans are formulated to provide a healthy balance of macronutrients, making it easier to stick to a daily calorie goal without feeling hungry. Our goal is to achieve a 500-1000 calorie deficit while never going below 1200 calories per day.

A Fresh Perspective on Healthy Eating We believe that an essential component of a healthy lifestyle is the incorporation of fresh, store-bought ingredients as part of the daily eating plan. The concept of "food first" is at the core of our philosophy and approach to weight management. From the very start of the program, patients build on the nutritional foundation created by our food products, by including fresh food for at least one meal a day.

Patients develop the skills necessary to maintain a healthy kitchen through the use of our signature Chef Sets™, developed in collaboration with the award-winning chef Ana Sortun. With the addition of three fresh ingredients, patients prepare a gourmet-quality, wholesome meal that serves two in less than 30 minutes. For days when patients are not cooking a Chef Set™, the My Eating Plan tool allows them to search through our SetPoint Meals library – simplifying the daily task of building a healthy food-based meal or snack.

THE PROGRAMS

Addressing the real issue of keeping the weight off Scientific research confirms what many people already understand from experience; once the body loses weight, there is a natural tendency to put it back on. It's like pulling on an elastic band so hard that it snaps back – this, on a very simplistic level, is the idea of “set point” as it relates to body weight regulation. Our programs are designed to support weight management in a way that is consistent with the body’s natural physiology.

Likewise, losing weight rapidly without fully developing the skills of lifestyle change is ineffective and yet there is an abundance of schemes that continue to entice individuals with the promise of a “quick fix”. Our programs have been developed with the goal of promoting the development of healthy lifestyle behaviors that include eating and nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management and social connectedness – all of which are interrelated and need to be approached as such. Furthermore, these skills must be learned as part of the active weight loss process in order for weight loss to be maintained.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Providing the right information to the right patient at the right time One of the core components of the SetPoint Health platform is the unique technology we have incorporated in our web portals. Our view of technology is that it plays a critical role in the process of lifestyle change and weight management – not in its ability to eliminate human intervention - but rather in its ability to leverage the power of the provider-patient relationship.

In creating the web-based tools and applications that comprise the portal, we have kept the following principles at the forefront of our development: – Simplicity and ease of use in both the patient and provider interface

Patient tools: • Tracking • Planning • Goal setting

– Customization based on individual needs and preferences

• Meal planning

– Scalability both in terms of the scope of functionality and in the ability to automate processes

Provider functionality:

– Integration of the patient tools as part of a comprehensive solution and as not as stand-alone features

• Secure messaging

• Progress notes • Report generation • Learning modules
