Segal Trials' approach to clinical studies represents a significant stride in understanding and managing weight loss challenges. By harnessing technology and focusing on blood sugar control, this study could pave the way for more effective and sustainable weight management strategies.
For many, the journey towards weight loss is fraught with challenges and setbacks. Common hurdles include diets that slow metabolism and distort hunger cues, leading to temporary weight loss and potentially unhealthy attitudes towards food. The stress associated with dieting often results in overeating, further complicating weight loss efforts. Mindful eating emerges as a crucial factor in managing these challenges.
Here are some real world examples of Americans who have experienced common challenges on their weight loss journey.
Maria, a 45-year-old Hispanic woman, has faced a challenging weight loss journey. As a busy mother and high school teacher in Miami, finding time for herself has always been a struggle. Over the years, she's tried various diets, only to find her weight fluctuating wildly. Each diet promised quick results, but none offered sustainable change. Maria often felt her hunger cues were out of sync with her body's actual needs, leading to overeating. Frustrated and feeling trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting, she sought a lasting solution. Maria sees a glimmer of hope with the Segal Trials' weight management study. The idea of using technology to understand her body's responses to food intrigued her. She believed this could be the key to breaking free from the constant cycle of dieting and weight gain.
David, a 55-year-old African American man from Westin, has struggled with his weight for most of his adult life. A software engineer, his job requires him to be sedentary for long hours, which hasn't helped. Despite trying various diets and exercise regimes, David's weight loss efforts were often thwarted by a seemingly sluggish metabolism. His frustration grew as he witnessed only temporary results from his dieting efforts. The concept of diets demonizing food also troubled him, as he wished to enjoy eating without guilt. When David heard about the Segal Trials study, he was immediately interested. The study's focus on controlling glucose levels and using a continuous glucose monitor piqued his curiosity. He hopes this scientific approach might offer the insight he needs to manage his weight effectively.
Madison, a 32-year-old Caucasian woman from Hollywood, has always been conscious of her weight. Working in digital marketing, she found herself often stressed and turning to food for comfort. Her attempts at dieting usually ended in stress-induced overeating. Madison's relationship with food became increasingly complicated, as she associated eating with guilt and anxiety. The temporary nature of her weight loss through diets only added to her stress. Upon discovering the upcoming Segal Trials study, Madison saw an opportunity for change. The idea of a smartphone app paired with a glucose monitor seemed innovative and practical. She is particularly drawn to the potential of developing healthier eating behaviors and breaking her cycle of stress eating. Madison views this study as a chance to finally achieve a healthy weight in a sustainable and tech-savvy way.
Segal Trials presents an innovative clinical study aimed at revolutionizing weight management. This research focuses on the relationship between glucose levels and weight control, employing advanced technology for potentially groundbreaking results.
The study utilizes a weight management system, which combines a continuous glucose monitor and a smartphone app. This approach aims to ascertain the safety and effectiveness of this technology in weight management. Participants, who should be overweight or obese adults without a diabetes diagnosis, will be divided into two groups:
The study spans six months and includes three site visits. Participants can earn up to $975 for complete involvement.
Ideal candidates are adults at least 22 years old with a BMI between 25-40, without a diabetes diagnosis, and who regularly use a smartphone compatible with the technology (iPhone 8/newer, Android versions 12/13). Commitment to all in-person study visits is essential. For more details click here.
Participants stand to gain not only financial compensation but also the potential for weight loss and healthier eating habits. This study offers an opportunity to be part of a pioneering research effort in the field of weight management.
