Augusta weight loss surgeon Dr. Francisco Jacome has developed the healclub app to educate and support individuals wishing to lose weight and change their lifestyle habits to improve their overall health.

Dr. Jacome developed healclub to focus on clients’ health and wellbeing in addition to weight. The healclub app provides meal planning, personal coaching, customized fitness plans, water intake recommendations and psychological support. Because everyone is not motivated the same way, the customized app learns users’ preferences to adjust fitness and nutrition recommendations.

“Obesity is a growing health concern in the world with devastating consequences. There is a huge need for support and understanding when it comes to the obese population and how to tackle it,” Dr. Jacome said. “Healclub offers a holistic approach to weight loss for clients who need to lose more weight than the average person while providing motivation and emotional support.”

Interpoint Health, a private practice primary care center, has successfully used the healclub approach to help patients lose weight.

“I especially appreciate the wellness and support aspect of healclub. This is so very important for people trying to lose weight,” Dr. Chris Gibbs said. “The healclub app has successfully helped several of my patients change their lifestyle and improve their health.”
