OC Connect

Secure patient community

A supportive community built for you

Living with obesity can be isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. OC Connect is a free, private, and evidence-based community for patients, by patients. This is not a space for fad diets or weight-loss trends—it’s a place for real conversations, support, and empowerment.

Why join OC Connect?

A judgment-free zone: Share your experiences without fear of bias or stigma.

Built on science: Conversations are grounded in evidence, not quick fixes.
