From Screen to Support: The Humans Behind &you’s Healthcare

Manila, Philippines — Less than a year after launch, &you has crossed a milestone that speaks louder than any marketing campaign could: a waitlist of over 10,000 Filipinos, all waiting to access the kind of healthcare they've never quite been able to find before. The number matters. But what it represents matters even more.

A Signal, Not Just a Statistic

For every person on that waitlist, there is a story. Someone who has tried and failed to find an affordable weight loss program that actually works. Someone who has silently dealt with hair loss for years because bringing it up felt embarrassing. Someone who wanted help with their mental health but didn't know where to start  or feared what others would think if they tried.

"The waitlist isn't just traction," says Emil Eriksen, Founder and CEO of &you. "It's a reflection of a gap that has existed in Filipino healthcare for a long time. People are ready for care that doesn't make them feel small. They've been ready. We just needed to show up."

And show up &you has. Since launching in April 2025, the platform has rapidly become the country's most talked-about health brand earning coverage from national lifestyle publications, attracting high-profile advocates, and building a loyal community of users who describe the experience as nothing short of life-changing.

What People Are Coming For

The platform's most sought-after offering is its GLP-1 weight loss program, which connects users with licensed Filipino doctors and provides access to semaglutide treatments the same active ingredient found in globally recognized medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®  at prices that make it genuinely accessible for the first time in the Philippines.

But weight management is only one part of the picture. Users also come to &you for:

• Hair regrowth treatments, customized to their health profile and delivered discreetly to their door
• Sexual health support, including evidence-based care for erectile dysfunction, in a stigma-free environment
• Mental wellness consultations, with licensed professionals who understand the Filipino lived experience

All of it happens online. No queues. No commutes. No uncomfortable waiting rooms.

More Than a Platform, a Community

&you has always believed that healthcare extends beyond the clinical. Earlier this year, the company launched its first Run Club called Club1630 in Bonifacio Global City a free, open-to-all community run designed to bring people together through movement. Hundreds of participants have since joined, turning a simple morning run into something much more meaningful: a gathering of people who are actively choosing to invest in their health and each other.

What’s Next

With the pre-seed funding round now closed and a growing team behind it, &you is moving to reduce waitlist times, expand its medical network, and bring its services to more Filipinos across the country not just in Metro Manila.

The goal has never changed: make healthcare feel human. Make it feel safe. And make it something every Filipino can actually afford to access. Ten thousand people on a waitlist say that goal is worth chasing.
