Momenta Newcastle is a healthcare company established in 2019 as a subsidiary of Discover Momenta. In March 2025, Discover Momenta and its subsidiary Momenta Newcastle were acquired by Liva Healthcare, a digital platform for chronic health issue interventions. The parent company, Discover Momenta, was co-founded in 2013 by Harry MacMillan, Lisa Taylor, and Dr. Paul Chadwick. Harry MacMillan, who has a background in public health since 2003, serves as CEO and focuses on partnerships and development. Lisa Taylor, the Programme Development Director, previously conceived and implemented the Momenta Weight Management Programme at MEND Central. Dr. Paul Chadwick is a Clinical and Health Psychologist and an Associate Professor at University College London's Centre for Behaviour Change.
The company partners with NHS, councils, and other organizations to deliver evidence-based behavioural and healthy lifestyle programmes. Its business model involves providing fully delivered services through trained coaches who work with individuals and groups, both in-person and digitally. Momenta Newcastle's core services are aimed at preventing and managing chronic diseases through lifestyle changes. The company's programmes address Type 2 diabetes remission, cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, and weight management. For instance, its NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme is a 12-month, three-phase intervention based on the DiRECT study, which includes a low-calorie total diet replacement phase. The CVD Prevention programme supports individuals with high blood pressure to improve their diet, activity levels, and medication adherence over nine months. Participants are often referred by their GP or can self-refer.
