WeightWatchers names new medical chief, plans to offer menopause therapy and support

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – WeightWatchers eliminated $1.15 billion in debt and plans new programs including support for menopause and partnerships combining medication with lifestyle changes.

  • On July 8, 2025, WeightWatchers announced it had finalized a major restructuring and named Dr. Kim Boyd as its new Chief Medical Officer.
  • The company filed for bankruptcy in May 2025 to shed $1.15 billion in debt amid rising competition from weight-loss injections like Mounjaro and Wegovy.
  • WeightWatchers plans to expand into women's health by launching a new menopause support program later this year, combining nutritional, behavioral strategies, and emerging science.
  • WeightWatchers CEO Tara Comonte said the company is "accelerating our transformation" with renewed financial strength and clinical leadership to meet evolving member needs.
  • This expansion addresses unmet menopause healthcare needs by offering holistic support as public menopause clinics face long wait times and growing demand for specialized services.
