Company mission
To empower driven men to take control of their health and lead purposeful, active lives with their loved ones.
Our take
Obesity is a major health crisis that impacts millions of lives and drives up healthcare costs by billions each year. Yet, for many people dealing with chronic obesity, the typical solutions of diet and exercise often aren't enough.
That's where Fella comes in. Fella supports men who are struggling with obesity by connecting them, with board-certified obesity doctors for personalized, FDA-approved treatments. Alongside this, Fella also offers a comprehensive lifestyle program that addresses the root causes of obesity, helping men reach and maintain a healthier weight.
What sets Fella apart from traditional weight loss programs is its focus on community. By helping men feel supported and less isolated in their weight loss journey - much life WeightWatchers did for women - Fella is poised to make a significant impact and grow nationwide.
