FAQ: Can Wave Support Menopause, GLP-1s, and Other Trending Health Themes? Yes—Here’s How
Wave’s coaches can adapt proven, evidence-based interventions to fit the context. Employees don’t need a new app or specialist vendor for every new challenge—they get continuous support from one trusted platform.
The Challenge Employers Face Today
If you’re an HR or benefits leader, you’re likely asking yourself:
👉 “How do we keep up with all these new health trends—without adding a dozen point solutions?”
In the last five years, employee health priorities have shifted dramatically. Menopause, GLP-1 medications, neurodiversity, caregiving, and long-COVID are just a few of the emerging topics putting pressure on employers and health plans to expand benefits.
The problem? Adding a new vendor for each trend is costly, confusing, and impossible to scale.
That’s where Wave comes in.
One Platform, Many Use Cases
Wave was built on a transdiagnostic, skills-based coaching model—developed by a Stanford Professor of Psychiatry—that addresses the root mechanisms driving distress (like stress, avoidance, and emotional regulation) rather than focusing only on diagnosis.
This model is future-proof because it flexes across emerging health trends. Whether your employees are navigating:
✔️ Menopause and women’s health transitions
✔️ Weight management and GLP-1 use
✔️ Neurodiversity and workplace performance
✔️ Caregiving stress and burnout
✔️ Post-COVID or long-term recovery
Wave’s coaches can adapt proven, evidence-based interventions to fit the context. Employees don’t need a new app or specialist vendor for every new challenge—they get continuous support from one trusted platform.
How Wave Adapts to Trending Health Themes
🌊 Menopause & Women’s Health
Menopause affects not just physical health, but also sleep, mood, and workplace performance. Wave integrates emotional regulation, stress management, and identity-focused coaching into tailored care plans, helping employees feel supported during this major life stage.
🌊 GLP-1s & Weight Management
With GLP-1 use on the rise, many employees need guidance around lifestyle changes, self-identity, and emotional wellbeing. Wave coaches provide behavioral reinforcement, habit formation, and values-aligned action planning to sustain long-term success alongside medical treatment.
🌊 Neurodiversity in the Workplace
From ADHD to autism spectrum conditions, Wave supports neurodiverse employees by teaching skills for focus, communication, and stress management—without pathologizing their experience. Our approach empowers employees to thrive on their own terms.
🌊 Caregiving & Life Transitions
Employees balancing caregiving roles often face burnout, identity stress, and emotional exhaustion. Wave equips them with resilience-building skills, values clarification, and supportive accountability, helping them stay well while caring for others.
🌊 Long-COVID & Chronic Conditions
Recovery from chronic conditions often comes with uncertainty and distress. Wave provides skills for pacing, managing setbacks, and coping with ongoing stressors, so employees can maintain both health and productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can Wave really support something as specific as menopause or GLP-1 coaching?
Yes. Because our care is transdiagnostic, we target the mechanisms (like stress, identity, or behavior change) that show up across contexts. That means the same model flexes to support menopause, GLP-1 use, caregiving, neurodiversity, and more.
Q2: How does Wave stay future-proof as new health trends emerge?
Our skills-based framework isn’t tied to a single diagnosis or trend. Whether the “next hot topic” is sleep health, long-COVID, or something not yet on the radar, Wave adapts by applying the same evidence-based foundation in a personalized way.
Q3: Do employees trust coaching instead of therapy?
Absolutely. Every Wave user is paired with a nationally certified coach. If therapy is needed, we seamlessly escalate to licensed clinicians. Employees get faster access, continuous support, and measurable improvement.
Q4: How do you prove ROI to employers and health plans?
We use validated clinical measures and continuous reporting. 72% of users improve within 8 weeks, engagement is 5x higher than EAPs, and we’ve modeled $3B in savings for a national payer.
Q5: Will Wave replace the need for other benefits vendors?
Wave is not a replacement for medical care or condition-specific programs. Instead, we serve as the scalable, flexible layer that ties mental and emotional health together—helping you avoid adding multiple point solutions.
