Revitalizing lives through science-forward weight care
Revitalizing lives through science-forward weight care
Our journey
We began our journey at Harvard Medical School with a simple conviction: weight loss shouldn't have to be a lifelong struggle. We set out to prove it didn't have to be.
After years of advancing ESG, we've watched thousands of clients discover what it feels like to achieve healthy weight and lasting confidence. Each person who reclaims their vitality through Everself reminds us why this work matters. Our focus remains the same: advancing the science of weight care and helping our clients achieve the transformation they seek.
Leading ESG weight care innovation for over a decade
The First ESG Procedure
Invented ESG at Harvard. Dr. Christopher Thompson pioneered the first ESG procedure at Harvard Medical School
FDA Authorization
After a decade of rigorous research and tens of thousands of successful procedures, the FDA officially recognized ESG as an effective weight loss intervention
Founded Bariendo (now Everself)
Dr. Thompson co-founded our company to establish the national quality standard for ESG—ensuring best practices, proper techniques, and holistic, personalized support.
