Profile by Sanford added four retail locations in December. In South Dakota, Profile added a third location in Sioux Falls at Family Wellness and also opened in Aberdeen. The integrated approach to weight management can also be found in Knoxville, Tennessee, and Davenport, Iowa.
The first Profile store opened in Sioux Falls in November 2012. Today, Profile has 19 locations in six states.
Profile was designed using a large body of clinical research to ensure a sustainable means to healthy weight loss. A clinical and scientific advisory board comprised of Sanford Health physicians and researchers oversaw the development of the Profile system. Sanford Health is the largest, rural, not-for-profit health care system in the United States.
The rapidly growing Profile system utilizes meal-replacement products, nutritionally complete food and qualified health coaches. In addition to members consuming both Profile-produced and grocery-store food, coaches develop customized plans for their clients and offer advice on nutrition, exercise and behavior.
Profile continues to focus on program advancements through the launch of new food products, such as three new pizza varieties available this fall. Profile is also on the cutting edge of technology, expanding to better assist members with measuring daily activity. Recently, Jawbone UP24 activity trackers have been integrated with the Profile app to allow members to track their movement and sleep patterns.
In addition to face-to-face meetings, coaches are able to efficiently track members’ progress through the use of smart wireless technology. Each member is outfitted with wireless devices to measure progress, including tools to track body weight, measurement and blood pressure. These devices automatically upload to a secure server, where members and coaches can monitor improvement on the web or mobile applications. Printed options are also available to members.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 60 percent of the U.S. population is considered overweight or obese.
