Financial terms were not disclosed. Naturally Slim is a clinically proven solution that drives behavioural changes to deliver long-lasting results, including sustained weight loss and a reversal of Metabolic Syndrome risk factors that can lead to serious health conditions, like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and many forms of cancer. The company’s scalable, self-paced digital program utilises the latest behavioural health and teaching concepts to make weight loss achievable for all participants. The company primarily serves self-insured employers helping them create healthier employee populations. “We are thrilled to be working with an already-impressive management team that addresses one of the nation’s biggest health issues.
