Curate Health Health and Second Nature provide weight-loss injections, like Mounjaro and Wegovy, to support weight loss.
The main difference between Curate Health and Second Nature is that Second Nature provides a weight-loss programme alongside the medication.
The Second Nature programme includes the support of a registered dietitian or nutritionist and hundreds of recipes to maximise your success on weight-loss medication.
Curate Health offers the medication at a cheaper price (starting at £150 for the lowest doses compared to £229 with Second Nature), but that’s because they provide less support alongside the medication than on Second Nature.
Second Nature’s price includes access to a health coach available 5 days a week and daily articles and podcasts to help you develop healthy habits for life.
Curate Health advertises support from a clinician with the medication, but it’s unclear how often you can access this support and whether it’s a phone call or text.
Why should you choose Second Nature over other medication providers (like Curate Health) if you’ve decided to try Mounjaro or Wegovy (assuming you’re eligible)?
For peace of mind.
Second Nature has worked with the NHS for over 6 years, providing weight-loss programmes across the UK.
While our Wegovy and Mounjaro weight-loss programmes are private and not currently used by the NHS, we’ve built the programmes focusing on scientific evidence, patient safety, and data security.
We’ve also published clinical evidence outlining the positive impact of our medication-supported programmes on our members.
We hope that our 6+ years of working with the NHS and building a track record of effective weight-loss results will give you peace of mind to give us a try.
However, read on to learn the critical differences between Curate Health and Second Nature’s medication-supported programmes.
1) Second Nature offers comprehensive support to develop healthy habits
The main difference between Curate Health and Second Nature is the level of support provided alongside Mounjaro and Wegovy.
Curate Health provides the medication with access to a clinician for ongoing support.
However, it’s unclear how this support is accessed or whether it includes other forms of support and education, like articles on health or nutrition.
In comparison, Second Nature’s programme provides access to a registered dietitian or nutritionist 5 days a week, who you can access via a group and private chat on the Second Nature app.
Our health coaches’ role is to support you in developing healthy habits that will allow you to maintain your weight loss in the long term.
They’re experts in nutrition, health, and behavioural science, ensuring you can access reliable, evidence-based information whenever you need it.
Our programme is also delivered entirely via an app with access to recipes, educational articles, videos, and podcasts to help you learn about the science behind nutrition, health, and how to cement healthy habits for life.
Here’s a recent Trustpilot review from an existing Second Nature member:
2) Second Nature has been used by the NHS since 2017 for weight loss and type 2 diabetes
Another critical difference between Curate Health and Second Nature is Second Nature’s relationship with the NHS.
Since 2017, the NHS has commissioned us to deliver weight loss and type 2 diabetes programmes across the UK.
Over half of all UK NHS Health and Care boards use Second Nature services.
In comparison, Curate Health only provides medications and doesn’t offer services beyond that for the NHS.
Second Nature can provide you with peace of mind that you’re on a programme that’s been clinically designed and used by the NHS since 2017.
While our Wegovy and Mounjaro weight-loss programmes are private and not currently used by the NHS, we’ve built the programmes focusing on scientific evidence, patient safety, and data security.

Take home message
Second Nature and Curate Health are very different. Second Nature’s programme offers more support to help you develop healthy habits than Curate Health, which provides some support from a clinician, but it’s unclear how much or how that support is delivered.
Second Nature has two medication-supported programmes: a Wegovy weight-loss programme and a Mounjaro weight-loss programme.
