Zepbound users shed 50 pounds on average, outpacing Wegovy in a new clinical trial

In a head-to-head clinical trial, people taking Eli Lilly’s Zepbound lost significantly more weight than those on Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, according to a new 72-week study published in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the 32nd European Congress on Obesity (ECO).

On average, participants on Zepbound lost 20.2% of their body weight—about 50 pounds—while those on Wegovy lost 13.7%, or roughly 33 pounds. Nearly 65% of people taking Zepbound lost 15% or more of their body weight, compared to 40% of those on Wegovy. In terms of waist size, Zepbound users saw an average reduction of seven inches, while Wegovy users lost about five inches.

Both Zepbound and Wegovy are part of a growing class of blockbuster weight-loss drugs, but they’re built on different active ingredients. Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Zepbound, is approved in the U.S. for adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related health issues and marketed as Mounjaro in other countries. It’s also sold as Mounjaro for treating type 2 diabetes in both the U.S. and abroad. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, is used for similar weight-related conditions and marketed as Ozempic for type 2 diabetes. A key difference: Zepbound targets two hormone receptors involved in hunger and metabolism, while Wegovy targets only one.

“Thanks to the latest advancements in obesity management medications, more physicians and patients are witnessing significant weight reduction beyond what they have seen before,” said Dr. Louis J. Aronne, an internist specializing in diabetes and obesity at NewYork Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and principal investigator of the study. “The SURMOUNT-5 head-to-head results demonstrated tirzepatide led to greater weight reduction compared to semaglutide, providing further evidence to support tirzepatide as an effective option for obesity management.”

Although the study was not designed to directly compare the safety and tolerability of the two drugs, most side effects reported during the trial were gastrointestinal and generally mild to moderate. About 6.1% of Zepbound users stopped treatment due to side effects, compared to 8.0% of those on Wegovy.

Effective Obesity Drugs, Limited Coverage

While clinical trials highlight the effectiveness of weight loss medications, access remains a major hurdle for many Americans. Despite rising demand, insurance coverage for such drugs is still limited, prompting platforms like Found to step in. The telehealth platform recently announced it will offer Wegovy and Zepbound through newly available direct-to-consumer pharmacy programs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, with pricing starting at $499 per month for Wegovy and $349-$699 per vial for Zepbound.

WeightWatchers is also taking steps to improve access—even as it navigates financial headwinds. The storied brand, which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (while assuring members it’s not going anywhere), announced a new pharmacy integration with Eli Lilly and provider Gifthealth. The move streamlines fulfillment of FDA-approved Zepbound for WeightWatchers Clinic members with on-label prescriptions. Notably, 33% of Clinic members currently use Zepbound. The partnership also improves access for self-pay patients without insurance.

Found and WeightWatchers’ efforts highlight a growing trend among companies trying to fill the access gap but they also underscore a larger issue: America’s broader healthcare crisis, noted David A. Kessler, MD, former FDA commissioner under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

In a recent op-ed published in The Guardian, Kessler shared that he carries three health insurance plans, none of which would cover weight loss medications.

“Faced with this reality, and my increasing percentage of body fat, I decided to pay out of pocket – over $1,000 a month – for a GLP-1 to treat my prediabetes,” he wrote. “For most people, that is not an option…
Obesity is killing millions of people. At this point, excess fat may be more damaging to our health than cigarettes. In the face of exorbitantly high drug prices, patients struggling with excess weight are caught in a system of bewildering complexity and even potential danger. People whose insurance will not cover these drugs are left with three options: endure financial hardship, use less effective therapeutic options, or resort to compounded medications whose quality or safety has not been assured.”

Meanwhile, the fitness industry is rapidly adapting to the weight-loss drug boom, with some operators and equipment companies integrating access to the medications as part of their offerings, such as Recess Rx from Dallas-based Recess Fitness, Life Time’s Miora and Echelon’s ActiveMD.

Facilities are seeing stronger engagement, premium upgrades and real health outcomes with innovative recovery technology

In today’s wellness and fitness economy, smart recovery solutions are no longer optional — they’re essential. Facilities need equipment that goes beyond single solutions, drives real results and maximizes every square foot of space.

That’s exactly what Halotherapy Solutions delivers. As the only technology in the world that acts as a true recovery multiplier, Halotherapy gives operators and members a stronger, more efficient path to total recovery.

“We’re the only company with a patented multi-modality design that combines medical red-light therapy and medical-grade dry salt therapy in a single system,” explains Chief Revenue Officer, Lisa Semerly.

The equipment doesn’t stop at integration. Halotherapy’s proprietary SaltPerfect™ halogenerator technology redefines the category. “It precisely mills pure pharmaceutical-grade salt into optimal micron-sized particles, engineered for maximum absorption in both the respiratory system and skin,” she says.

The result? Deeper breathing, a stronger immune system, faster recovery and visible skin improvements by balancing and toning the skin to its optimal PH of 5.5 — all delivered with clinical-grade consistency.

The Technology in Action

HaloRed — the brand’s most popular fitness-industry solution —  is a sleek, modern booth available in three sizes. It’s a patented combination of medical red-light therapy and medical-grade dry salt therapy that reframes what recovery looks like.

“The red-light waves refract off translucent pharmaceutical-grade salt particles, dramatically expanding light coverage and absorption across the body,” says Semerly. “Simultaneously, red light acts as a drying agent, pushing salt deeper into the lungs for enhanced respiratory recovery. It’s a triple dose of cellular repair, oxygen saturation and calming all within a single 15-minute session with no labor or cleanup between.”

The HaloRed booth also traces its roots to a NASA study that measured the effects of light waves on salt particles in the earth’s atmosphere. This inspired the unit’s revolutionary design, creating billions of micro-bursts of refracted red light, making it the most powerful and effective red-light therapy solution worldwide.

The other top selling next-generation recovery multiplier is the HaloSauna. The HaloSauna takes multi-modality a step further by integrating dry salt therapy with a custom-engineered infrared sauna. Clients experience the detoxifying effects of infrared heat — expanding the lungs and amplifying the salt therapy experience — while reaping benefits such as faster recovery, deeper sleep, improved oxygen intake and radiant skin.

This five-sensory experience also includes guided Bluetooth meditation, aromatherapy and medical-grade chromotherapy. Once a client has experienced HaloSauna, Semerly says, “A standard infrared sauna feels … underwhelming.”

Why Multi-Modality Matters

When comparing standalone therapies to Halotherapy’s multi-modality systems, the difference is measurable and profound.

“When using our HaloRed, clients see better and faster results than using red light therapy and dry salt therapy separately,” says Semerly. “The kinetically active airborne salt allows the red light to refract, encapsulate and intensify, creating a more effective red-light treatment for skin, tissue and muscle recovery.”

Similarly, the HaloSauna delivers comprehensive healing through infrared, dry salt therapy, aromatherapy, guided meditation and chromotherapy — addressing everything from muscle soreness and colds to sleep issues and skin conditions.

Respiratory health is foundational to performance and wellness, and Halotherapy’s approach is unmatched. “At the core is our SaltPerfect™ halogenerator – engineered for deep penetration into the lungs and skin,” Semerly explains.

The real advantage lies in the results. Clients consistently report:

  • Better oxygen exchange during workouts
  • Deeper penetration into the smallest airways
  • Faster post-exertion recovery
  • Reduced seasonal allergy and cold symptoms
  • Stronger immune resilience

“In a world where respiratory health is foundational to both performance and overall wellness, our technology doesn’t just improve —  it elevates and fortifies the body’s respiratory system,” says Semerly.

Halotherapy also leads the charge in immune support.

“By clearing out pollutants, allergens and mucus, our SaltPerfect™ halogenerators create a cleaner and more resilient respiratory system,” says Semerly. “Think of it as a toothbrush for your lungs, removing the buildup that compromises immunity and performance.”

The result? Fewer colds, stronger defenses during allergy and flu seasons and enhanced overall respiratory health and hygiene.

The Business Case for Smart Recovery Investment

Semerly stresses that Halotherapy translates not just to wellness, but to smart business. “Beyond the well-documented respiratory, immune and skin benefits, Halotherapy offers something every facility wants: a compelling health-enhancing experience that drives engagement, retention and revenue.”

Facilities that install Halotherapy Solutions are realizing tangible ROI. “We are seeing new members who are joining specifically for Halotherapy access and existing members who are upgrading to premium tiers,” Semerly says. The systems are also cost-efficient, with an average session costing just 5-15 cents in electricity and salt.

In a competitive landscape where differentiation is critical, Halotherapy Solutions offers facilities an undeniable edge. Their multi-modality next generation salt systems do more than enhance recovery – they transform the health and wellness journey for members.

“We always say: don’t just take our word for it — experience it yourself,” says Semerly. “Your lungs, your members and your bottom line will all thank you.”
