Weight Loss and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Lifestyle Interventions to Lose Weight and Reduce EDC Exposure in Individuals With Overweight/Obesity

The goal of this study is to examine the relationship in individuals with overweight/obesity and endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure through a two-armed, randomized clinical trial. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. If MM's 12-week EDC intervention program (EDC testing and report-back, EDC reduction curriculum) can reduce weight? 2. If a 12-week validated digital weight loss program can reduce EDC exposures? 3. What is the effectiveness of the two interventions at reducing weight and urinary EDC metabolites? Participants will be assigned to one of these two arms. Participants will collect their urine and blood samples pre- and post-intervention, and will take a comprehensive exposure survey before sending back their samples. This exposure survey will ask about participant's weight loss literacy, environmental health literacy, product use, diet, and lifestyle behaviors.

A Consumer Health Study Evaluating the Impact of Pivit on Weight Loss and Appetite in Overweight Individuals

The purpose of this study is to observe the impact of Pivit on body weight in overweight individuals. Additionally, the study aims to observe the impact of the product on appetite, hunger, cravings, and general well-being via activities and technologies that can successfully and effectively be completed in a home setting. A consumer-driven, decentralized observational clinical research study is therefore well-suited for examining the impact of this product in this population. The study team will examine the outcomes in a broad age-range of adults who have chosen to try this product. The study will incorporate participant reported outcome questionnaires and surveys and at-home body weight measurement using a personal scale. There is no "doctor-patient" relationship as part of this research since the participant as a consumer is making the informed choice to take the product and take part in the observational process with self-reported measures and at-home body weight measurement. Findings from this study will contribute knowledge toward the tolerability and formulation of the plant-derived consumer product and the design of future studies.
