The Pound of Cure App
Born in a Real Weight Loss Practice, Built for Real Results
Dr. Matthew Weiner put 20+ years and 4,000+ surgeries worth of clinical knowledge into an AI assistant available to everyone. Pound of Cure is not another generic wellness app - it's the same methodology used in our practice, now in your pocket.
What Makes Pound of Cure Different From Other Weight Loss Apps?
Most weight loss apps are built by tech companies that don't treat patients. Pound of Cure was developed inside Pound of Cure Weight Loss by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon with 4,000+ procedures and 20+ years of clinical experience.
Pound of Cure was tested on real patients in our practice before public release. It combines AI coaching with access to real human experts - registered dietitians and providers who understand the complexities of surgical and medical weight loss.
Unlike apps that only support one approach, Pound of Cure works for all weight loss paths: GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, non-surgical programs, or combination approaches.
