Our Mission:

To flip the usual scientific process on its head — finding real weight loss success in a 2-way conversation with the public, building a true partnership that goes beyond data-driven science to people-driven discovery.

Big problem, big data

Testing isolated theories in laboratories doesn’t align with weight loss in the messy real world. That’s why IWCR is building the largest weight study ever attempted.

Global perspective

The missing puzzle pieces are hiding right now in the lived experiences of millions of people. We’re going broad and deep, connecting with you to find better answers to weight and obesity.

Join our quest

Lasting weight loss is possible. Many have already achieved it. Many more could do it too, with access to better approaches — that’s what IWCR will provide — with your help.
