How did the OptimalMe study work?

Many women worry about weight gain during pregnancy, which is why the OptimalMe study was specially designed to provide respectful, supportive, and evidence-based health guidance tailored to each individual.

To help optimise each trial participant's health and support them to feel their best, OptimalMe provided personalised, evidence-based dietary and exercise information to help them stay physically active and achieve a healthy weight before, during and after their pregnancy. To support their baby's healthy development, OptimalMe also offered essential pre-pregnancy information on medical screening and vaccinations, smoking and alcohol intake, and diet and exercise. Importantly, our team of qualified health professionals were available to provide one-on-one information and guidance each step of the way.

The OptimalMe study was available both over the phone and online, allowing each particpant to access this Australian-first support, regardless of where they live.

The OptimalMe research study has now concluded.
