In patients' words
"I’ve lost over 40 pounds in less than a year thanks to My NP Health. I had tried so many diets before, but nothing stuck. The medication, support, and accountability finally made it happen."
— My NP Health Patient Testimonial"At first, the drug worked for me the way it did a year ago... but within two weeks it seemed I had developed a tolerance to it... Then I quickly bounced back up to the dreaded high."
