Values & History
Founded in 2005 by Dr. Edward Kaloust, Medi-Weightloss was created to bring a medically supervised, science-driven approach to weight management. Built on the belief that one-size-fits-all diets don’t work, the brand emphasizes individualized care, clinical integrity, and long-term lifestyle change. Its core values include patient-centered service, evidence-based treatment, and a commitment to improving health through sustainable results. Medi-Weightloss combines medical expertise with compassionate support, empowering patients to transform their health - and helping franchisees build purpose-driven businesses rooted in real impact.
Industry Performance
The market is vast and presents an opportunity to affect the health of millions of Americans. The weight loss industry is a 60 billion dollar behemoth and showing no signs of slowing down. Worldwide obesity has nearly doubled since the mid 1980’s and over 200 million Americans are overweight. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called obesity an escalating epidemic, projecting that 60% or more of U.S. adults will be medically obese by the year 2030. Additionally, the American Medical Association has classified OBESITY a disease, noting that obesity is the fastest growing health problem in America and the second leading cause of preventable death.
Training & Support
Medi-Weightloss® provides franchisees with full training and support from day one. Initial training at their Tampa headquarters covers clinical protocols, operations, marketing, and staff management. Franchisees also receive help with site selection, hiring, and launching their clinic. Ongoing support includes continuous education, field visits, performance reviews, and access to proprietary systems for scheduling and reporting. With strong guidance at every step, franchisees are equipped to run a professional, efficient, and results-driven business.
Ideal Candidate & Qualifications
Medi-Weightloss® is ideal for candidates with strong business acumen, the ability to lead and motivate a team, and a willingness to follow a proven system. While many owners are actively involved, the model also supports semi-absentee ownership for those looking to manage from a higher level - overseeing key functions like site selection, hiring, financial performance, and marketing. No medical background is required, though those with healthcare experience or a background in B2B sales and business development often excel, recognizing the brand’s strong clinical credibility and opportunity for physician referrals. Whether hands-on or executive in approach, franchisees receive full training and ongoing support to run a professional, wellness-focused clinic that delivers real results and lasting impact.
