Wondr™ is a clinically-proven program that teaches the behavioral science of how to eat your favorite foods so you can lose weight, sleep better, gain energy, and so much more. Through our app, online community, certified coaches, and weekly video series, participants get a fresh and fun perspective on better health. We’ll teach you simple skills that are based on behavioral science, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and feel better than ever – at no cost to you.

Each week, you will get access to a new series of videos that teach simple Wondr skills and principles that meet you where you are and fold right into your lifestyle. In addition to the videos, the mobile app and online dashboard include tools to track your weight loss progress, monitor your activity, and find inspiration. You will get access to WondrLink™, the online community where participants and health coaches connect to share ideas, successes, encouragement, and challenges.

Wondr™ is free for CU Health Plan members and classes will be offered once a quarter, lasting 10 weeks each class.

The Philosophy

WHEN

Around-the-clock snacking leads to round waistlines. Learning to recognize true hunger is the first step to thin.

WHY

Life’s too short to give up birthday parties and BBQs. By recognizing why we eat, you can make sure you don’t miss one important moment.

HOW

Portion control has gotten out of control. Learn how to satisfy your hunger without the need to clear your plate.

You will receive a confirmation email at the email address you provided during the enrollment process. If you did not receive a confirmation email, please check your spam filter to ensure the mail didn’t get caught there. If it did, please add ‘info@naturallyslim.com‘ to your Contact list or SafeSender list to ensure you receive all future emails from Naturally Slim. If you did not receive an email, please contact us at support@naturallyslim.com so we can verify that your application is complete.

Are the meetings in person?

The Wondr™ program is an online program so there is no need to attend any meetings in person. You can watch your lessons and interact with the program whenever it is convenient for you.

What is the time commitment?

The lessons will take 30-45 minutes to watch each week. Each lesson is broken up into multiple short videos so you can watch whenever it is convenient to your schedule. Each lesson is available weekly so all your weekly videos should be watched within the next 7 days in order to stay on track. (Don’t worry, we know life gets busy. You have an automatic 3-day grace period to watch your lessons. Plus, you can make up old lessons at any time.)

How long is the program?

The program starts with ten weekly lessons, approximately 30 – 45 minutes in length, to teach you the core principles. Each lesson is broken up into small videos so you can watch the entire lesson in one sitting or break it up into multiple sittings when it is convenient for you. Throughout the program you will have access to a dashboard to track your weight loss, tips and online support to keep you motivated, and smartphone apps (for iPhone & Android devices) to take the program with you wherever you go.

Research shows that participants that continue to check in after learning the core principles are the most successful. So, after the first ten weeks, another ten weekly personalized lessons are provided. At this point, you will have learned the core principles so lessons will focus on reinforcing those skills and helping you apply them in your everyday life. After that, you will have new lessons to choose from to help with your long-term weight maintenance.

Is the program completely online? Is there a book or anything to accompany the program?

Yes. Additionally, you will receive a Welcome Kit via regular mail at the address you provided in your application. It includes:

  • Participant Manual – This manual includes general information about the program as well as the food diary, which you will learn more about in the program.
  • Tape Measure – Allows you to take your measurements before and after the program to see how many inches you lose.
  • Food Items – There is a Food Awareness exercise during the first week of the program so you will use these foods for that exercise. (Food items containing peanuts are included in the welcome kit so if you or someone in your family has a peanut allergy, please don’t consume those items.)

Do I have to complete the program on a desktop computer? Can I use my smartphone or tablet?

You can use any type of electronic device with Internet connectivity to participate in the Naturally Slim program including a desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc. In fact, there are iPhone and Android apps which you can use to watch your lessons and apply the skills to your daily life.

Will I have access to coaches/counselors in the program?

Yes, you will have access to a team of counselors that are ready to assist you at any time. Additionally, there is an entire online community that includes counselors, past participants and current participants available to share tips or answer questions whenever you need it.
