NFL legend and eMed Chief Wellness Officer Tom Brady and eMed CEO Linda Yaccarino discuss eMed’s mission on ‘The Claman Countdown.’<\/p>\n
As GLP-1 weight loss medications continue to surge in popularity, NFL legend Tom Brady is getting in on the action, using his wellness brand to “democratize” the health care system in a way the world has “never seen.”<\/p>\n
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has teamed up with eMed, a digital health company managing sustainable ways to offer GLP-1 drugs while helping employers reduce health insurance claims.<\/p>\n
“There’s an epidemic in America, the disease of obesity, and how can we democratize health and wellness in a way that the world has never seen?” Brady said in an exclusive interview with “The Claman Countdown” Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Serving as eMed\u2019s chief wellness officer, Brady hopes to help people live better, healthier lives by harnessing the power of weight loss medications, lamenting America\u2019s obesity epidemic.<\/p>\n
“I love seeing people live a better life, live a healthier life, feel better, do the things that they want to do in the end. It’s always been a struggle in our country,” the football legend said.<\/p>\n
“There’s no debate about the way that this medicine is working right now in terms of keeping people and getting people on their wellness journey started.”<\/p>\n

With more than 60% of Americans receiving health benefits through an employer, eMed aims to incentivize companies to cover GLP-1 medications for eligible workers, Yaccarino said.<\/p>\n
“We do a great job of saving employers’ money and getting people healthy,” Brady said.<\/p>\n

“There’s finally, for the first time, a health benefit, attacking all these chronic diseases and a financial benefit to employers. So, it’s giving them incentive to cover the medications,” Yaccarino added.<\/p>\n

Yaccarino described GLP-1 medications as the “pharmaceutical revolution” of the modern age while outlining the support eMed provides to patients.<\/p>\n
“Once we bring our members onto our program, we combine AI, technology and continuous clinical support so they stay with us,” she said.<\/p>\n
