Founded in 2015 by former NHS advisors Chris Edson and Mike Gibbs, Second Nature delivers a twelve-week, app-based programme that pairs behavioural coaching from health experts with activity and nutrition tracking to drive sustainable habit change. The company is the first lifestyle intervention to be commissioned by the UK’s National Health Service for diabetes management, validating its clinical credibility. Peer-reviewed studies cited by the company show its users achieve sustained weight loss, addressing the rising global costs of obesity-related illnesses. Operating from London, the startup now employs about 80 people. Second Nature positions itself as a solution to widespread health misinformation by providing clear, evidence-based guidance on behaviour change. The recent rebrand from OurPath to Second Nature underscores its ambition to “solve obesity” on a global scale. Additional capital will be used to expand the programme and strengthen its technology platform.
