Key to Health Research
Key to Health is founded on decades of experience and supported by gold-standard evidence
Clinical Outcomes
Key to Health was founded by cardiologists, M.D.’s, and nutritionists. As scientists, we believed it was necessary to prove our program in an unbiased, gold-standard experiment, a randomized controlled trial.
The University of British Columbia recently published a peer-reviewed paper in the Obesity Journal, comparing the Key to Health program vs the Weight Watchers program in a randomized trial. The Keyto group achieved 3x more weight loss than the WW group after 24 weeks, and also had significant improvements in markers of metabolic health. There were no concerning changes in cholesterol or other lipids. The full paper can be found below.

Keyto App and Device versus WW App on Weight Loss and Metabolic Risk in Adults with Overweight or Obesity: A Randomized Trial
In this randomized clinical trial of 155 participants with overweight or obesity, weight loss over 12 weeks was significantly greater in the biofeedback ketogenic diet app group (-5.6 kg) compared to the calorie-restricted low-fat diet app group (-2.5 kg). The durability of superiority was sustained after 24 weeks.
