Mayo Clinic Diet Enhances Weight Management Program with New Personalized Features for 2025

Evidence-based updates include tools to support sustainable health habits and medication-assisted weight loss

ROCHESTER, Minn., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mayo Clinic Diet, a science-driven weight management program rooted in Mayo Clinic's healthcare expertise and one of the top-ranked diets of 2025 according to US News & World Report, is introducing new features in 2025 to enhance user success and adapt to evolving health trends. These updates focus on personalization and accessibility, aligning with Mayo Clinic's mission to deliver innovative, evidence-based health solutions.

"Personalization is critical to long-term success in weight management," says Dr. Donald Hensrud, M.D., M.S., Medical Editor of The Mayo Clinic Diet. "These updates reflect our commitment to helping individuals achieve their goals through accessible, science-backed tools."

Highlights of the 2025 Updates:

• Daily Diet Score: A 100-point system launched on December 26, 2024, to help users monitor adherence to healthy habits, including balanced meals, regular activity, and tracking progress. Gamification features, such as streaks and celebratory milestones, foster engagement and motivation.
• Customizable Meal Plans: Enhanced flexibility allows users to tailor their meal plans by swapping, favoriting, or freestyling meals. A companion guide and webinar provide support for sustainable meal planning.
• Companion Program Integration: Starting January 2025, the program will integrate its companion offering for users of weight-loss medications, such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, into the digital platform, supporting tailored weight management strategies.

Research underscores the Mayo Clinic Diet's efficacy, with members achieving 80% greater weight loss compared to participants of an in-person program. The program's comprehensive approach incorporates 15 medically-supported habits targeting nutrition, activity, and behavior change, helping participants build a foundation for lasting health improvements.

The Mayo Clinic Diet members are motivated to lose weight 'for their health' (90%), 'to feel good' (85%), and for 'longevity' (73%). These insights were behind the design of the new Mayo Clinic Diet features, to ensure that Americans have the choice of credible, science-backed programs that focus on lifelong habits when interest in weight loss programs peaks in the New Year.
