What Makes Eden’s GLP-1 Program Different From Noom? A Side-by-Side Comparison

How Eden Works

Eden is a digital health platform that focuses on connecting patients with independent licensed physicians to evaluate potential treatment for metabolic health using GLP-1 medications. Eden does not manufacture medications or function as a pharmacy. Instead, it offers a clinical pathway where real physicians evaluate your eligibility and coordinate prescriptions through state-licensed pharmacies if treatment is deemed appropriate.

Eden provides:

• Individual medical consultations
  
• Transparent pricing for the entire program
  
• Medication delivery directly to your home through state-licensed pharmacies
  
• Ongoing clinical support for safety and results
  
  

Everything starts with a medical conversation. There is no obligation, and your treatment is guided by a licensed physician who understands your goals and medical history.

What Noom Offers

Noom began as a lifestyle app designed to help people lose weight through behavioral change and coaching. In recent years, it introduced a GLP-1 program through Noom Med, a separate track that provides limited medical access and medication recommendations.

Here is what Noom includes:

• Health coaching and behavior-based education
  
• Some access to medical consultations
  
• Medication recommendations based on eligibility
  
• A self-guided, app-based experience
  
  

Noom’s model can be appealing to people who want a coach-led structure, but it may not offer the same direct medical supervision or medication access process that Eden does.

Comparing Access: Medical Expertise vs. Coaching

Physician Access with Eden

With Eden, every step begins with a consultation from a licensed physician. This doctor reviews your health history, evaluates your goals, and discusses whether treatment is appropriate. If the physician determines that a GLP-1 medication fits your needs, a prescription is coordinated through a state-licensed pharmacy.

This approach gives patients confidence knowing their care is guided by medical professionals who provide personalized assessments, not one-size-fits-all solutions.

Coaching-Based Structure with Noom

Noom centers around behavior change. While there is medical input within the Noom Med program, much of the user experience relies on app-based coaching and personal habit tracking. Although coaching can be helpful for building habits, individuals who value clinical oversight may find Eden’s doctor-led model more aligned with their goals.

Cost Transparency and Program Simplicity

Eden’s All-Inclusive Pricing

Eden provides a straightforward, transparent fee structure. One flat rate includes:

• The consultation with a licensed physician
  
• Medication delivered to your door if prescribed
  
• Ongoing follow-up care and medical support
  
  

This clear, bundled pricing means there are no surprises or hidden fees. You will know exactly what to expect before starting.

Noom’s Tiered Costs

Noom may appear lower in cost at first glance. However, medication is typically not included in the base subscription, and users may need to work with outside pharmacies or insurance providers. This can add complexity and potentially increase costs over time.

Medication Access and Support

Eden: Direct Medication Coordination

Eden connects patients with physicians who may prescribe GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate. These prescriptions are filled by state-licensed pharmacies and delivered directly to the patient.

This end-to-end coordination saves time and avoids pharmacy visits or insurance confusion.

Noom: More Variables in Medication Access

With Noom, access to medication often depends on insurance coverage, location, and pharmacy partnerships. Users may need to manage prescriptions independently or encounter delays due to pharmacy backlogs.

‍

Ongoing Support and Clinical Oversight

Medical Follow-Up Through Eden

Eden’s model provides patients with continued access to the physician they consulted with, supporting ongoing care and monitoring. This relationship allows for treatment adjustments when appropriate and helps ensure that care remains aligned with the patient’s health goals and evolving needs.

Coaching-Driven Support from Noom

Noom’s ongoing support is based on digital health coaching and tracking tools. While useful for habit formation, this model may not offer the same peace of mind as consistent clinical oversight.

What the Science Says About GLP-1 Medications

GLP-1 receptor agonists have been studied for their role in improving metabolic function. These medications were originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but recent research has shown benefits in other areas of health.

• A 2021 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that adults receiving semaglutide saw significant improvements in weight and metabolic markers.*
  
• The SURMOUNT-1 trial showed that tirzepatide helped adults with obesity achieve meaningful weight reduction alongside lifestyle support.**
  
  

These results underscore why more people are exploring GLP-1 therapy as part of a broader plan for better health.

*In the STEP 1 2021 study, the type of semaglutide used was injectable semaglutide 2.4 mg, administered once weekly. This formulation is the same as what was later approved and marketed under the brand name Wegovy® specifically for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.

**In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, the GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist tirzepatide was used in once-weekly subcutaneous injections at doses of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg to evaluate its effectiveness in weight management among adults with obesity or overweight without diabetes. This is the same active ingredient later approved and marketed as Zepbound® for chronic weight management.
