Would you try this wellness app for $1?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness, just as there is no one right answer for the best flavor of cake. Personalized to fit your lifestyle, Noom is a digital wellness program that believes it’s important to have your cake and eat it, too — and more importantly, we’re talking about actual cake here. Read on for five things to know about Noom.
It combines tech and human coaching
Noom strikes a balance between convenience and compassion. It’s a digital wellness program you can access anytime from your phone or computer. Beyond an AI-powered database of foods you can track, Noom pairs you with real-life experts who can help optimize your habits for better health.
It focuses on holistic health
Modeled on a diabetes prevention program from the CDC, Noom is more than just a calorie counter or a fitness tracker. Noom is designed to help users think about long-term goals, such as being healthier for their kids or preventing diseases.
It helps users achieve personalized goals
After answering questions about your personal goals and lifestyle, Noom sets up a personalized program filled with tips and tricks based on what you want to achieve. Noom’s experts are trained in cognitive behavior therapy, as well as nutrition and fitness for a 360-degree approach to healthy eating. It’s like having a personal trainer and a nutritionist in your pocket.
It doesn’t believe in taboo foods
Noom is not about food shaming or labeling foods as “bad.” It’s about learning to eat what you love, while maintaining a healthy balance through nutrition, exercise, and overcoming emotional hurdles.
It’s simple to try
To get started, users visit the website, complete a survey, and receive a customized package. You can test out the program during the 14-day trial for just $1 — and if you decided to stick with it, there are several plans, including the most popular which costs $129 for four months.
