It is scientifically proven that customized approaches in weight management lead to greater engagement and behavior change than generic approaches. WW, formerly Weight Watchers, has a new program called myWW that includes an evidence-based personalized assessment asking a range of questions to guide you to a scientifically proven, customized plan that aligns with your needs.

Gary Foster, PhD, is the Chief Scientific Officer at WW, a psychologist, obesity investigator and behavior change expert who has authored more than 175 scientific publications and three books. In his role as CSO at WW, Dr. Foster oversees the science-based program, all clinical research initiatives, and continued program advances.

Dr. Foster was previously the Director of the Center of Obesity Research and Education at Temple University and served as a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine.
