People<\/i> Magazine Spotlights Tiffany Howard\u2019s Metabolic Health Journey with<\/b>OPT<\/b>A<\/b>VIA\u00ae<\/sup><\/p>\n

A Powerful Story of Improving Metabolic Health Through Science, Coaching and Community<\/i><\/p>\n

BALTIMORE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Medifast<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b> (NYSE: MED), the health and wellness company known for its science-backed, coach-guided lifestyle system OPTA<\/b>VIA<\/a>,<\/b> celebrates the inspiring health transformation of Tiffany Howard<\/a>, recently featured in People <\/i>magazine. Tiffany\u2019s journey highlights how OPTA<\/b>VIA\u2019s comprehensive program, which combines science-backed nutrition, personalized coaching and sustainable habit-building, reversed her metabolic dysfunction1<\/sup>. For Tiffany, this meant several meaningful health improvements, including healthy weight loss.<\/p>\n

\nBefore starting her OPTA<\/b>VIA journey, Tiffany struggled with metabolic health challenges, including elevated blood sugar levels, high cholesterol, chronic brain fog, persistent fatigue and cycles of restrictive dieting that led to muscle loss and weight regain.<\/p>\n

\nThrough OPTA<\/b>VIA\u2019s science-backed targeted reset program, she addressed the root causes of her metabolic dysfunction and weight gain, resulting in improvements to her energy and confidence, while she built long-term habits. The program combines personalized plans designed to support targeted fat burn and lean mass retention, evidence-based habit formation frameworks to help clients build routines that last, one-on-one guidance from a coach and the support of a community that provides accountability and motivation.<\/p>\n

\n“When I found OPTA<\/b>VIA, it wasn\u2019t just about losing weight \u2014 it was about learning how to take control of my health,” said Tiffany. “The program gave me tools I could actually stick with, and the support I had from my coach and community made all the difference.”<\/p>\n

\nToday, Tiffany has improved her metabolic health and now serves as an independent coach, sharing the same science-backed solutions and support system that transformed her life with others. OPTA<\/b>VIA\u2019s clinical study1<\/sup> shows that clients who work with OPTA<\/b>VIA coaches achieve 10 times greater weight loss than those who follow a reduced calorie plan without support \u2014 underscoring the power of OPTA<\/b>VIA\u2019s unique combination of clinically proven plans, coaching and community.<\/p>\n

\n“The community aspect is what kept me going,” said Tiffany. “Knowing I wasn\u2019t alone and having someone to turn to when things got hard made all the difference. Now, as a coach myself, I see how life-changing this kind of support can be.”<\/p>\n
