Weight care, minus the diet drama.

Clinician-led GLP-1 care when it is right for you, a dietitian who understands Tuesday night dinners, and movement goals you pick yourself. A licensed clinician decides who is eligible.

Medication is prescribed only when a licensed clinician finds it appropriate. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Results vary, and medication cost is separate from membership.

Four things, working together.

Medication is one piece, and for plenty of people it is not the first one. Everything below lives in the same app, so nobody asks you the same question twice.

Clinician-led decisions

A licensed clinician reviews your history and labs, then decides whether GLP-1 medication is appropriate. Many people start without it.

A dietitian, not a PDF

Protein, fiber and meals you can actually cook, built around your schedule and your budget.

Movement you pick

A weekly goal that starts where you are. Walks count, and so does the dog.

Labs and check-ins

Baseline labs, repeat labs when a clinician orders them, and check-ins every two weeks while doses change.

Your first visit, from the couch.

Twenty minutes by video with a licensed clinician. Bring your questions, and your honest answers, because that is what makes the plan work.

How dose steps work.

Doses start low and move up gradually, only if side effects are manageable. Tap a step to see the idea. This is an example of a labeled schedule, not a prescription, and compounded concentrations can differ.

Example only, not a prescription

    Pick your dose day. See your week.

    Members choose the weekday that suits them, with their clinician. Everything else in the week lines up around it.

    Sample rhythm. Your clinician and dietitian set the real one.

    When your stomach pushes back.

    Nausea, constipation and low appetite are the most common early effects. Most ease with the adjustments below. Tell your care team about anything that lingers or worsens.

    Nausea

    Common in the first weeks and after each step up.

    • Smaller meals, eaten slowly
    • Yogurt or a protein shake when full meals feel heavy
    • Skip lying down right after eating

    Constipation

    Slower digestion is expected with this class of medicine.

    • Fiber from vegetables, beans and whole grains
    • Steady fluids through the day
    • A daily walk helps

    Low appetite and tiredness

    Appetite drops, and protein can slip without a plan.

    • Keep your protein target as the daily floor
    • Dietitian adjusts meal size and timing
    • Shorten workouts on low days, do not skip them

    Dehydration

    Vomiting or diarrhea can cause fluid loss quickly.

    • Sip through the day, not all at once
    • Tell the team if you cannot keep fluids down
    • Hydration is checked at every check-in

    Call your clinic the same day for any of these

    Vomiting that keeps you from holding fluids down. Severe stomach pain that spreads to your back, which can signal pancreatitis. Yellowing of the skin or eyes. Symptoms of low blood sugar that do not settle. This list is not medical advice and does not replace urgent care. In an emergency, call emergency services.

    One monthly price. Medication listed separately.

    Membership covers care, coaching and monitoring. If a clinician prescribes medication, the pharmacy bills you directly, and the sample range is below so nothing is a surprise.

    Questions people ask first.

    Anything missing? Ask in the assessment, and a clinician answers before you commit.

    A licensed clinician decides, after your assessment, history and baseline labs. Some people cannot use a GLP-1 medicine, including anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, and anyone who is pregnant.

    No. Some members begin with nutrition, movement and labs only, and your clinician may recommend that first. Medication is one option, offered only when it is appropriate for you.

    Brand products are made by the manufacturer and labeled for their listed uses. Compounded medications are prepared by a compounding pharmacy and are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety or effectiveness before they are sold.

    Every two weeks while doses are changing, then monthly. Each check-in covers side effects, protein, movement and the next step, and you can message the team any time in between.

    You can cancel from the app any time. Stopping a GLP-1 medicine often changes appetite and weight, so the plan for that is made with your clinician rather than alone. Coaching can continue at the Glow tier.

    No. Results vary from person to person, and nobody can responsibly promise a number. What we can promise is a licensed clinician, honest pricing and follow-up that actually happens.

    Important Safety Information

    Boxed warning: risk of thyroid C-cell tumors

    Semaglutide and tirzepatide caused thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents. It is not known whether they cause these tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people. Do not use if you or a family member has had MTC, or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Tell your clinician right away about a neck lump, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath.

    Common side effects

    • Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
    • Constipation and stomach pain
    • Heartburn, reduced appetite and tiredness

    Serious risks

    • Pancreatitis (severe, lasting stomach pain)
    • Gallbladder problems
    • Low blood sugar, especially with insulin or a sulfonylurea
    • Kidney problems, often after dehydration
    • Serious allergic reactions

    Pregnancy

    Not for use in pregnancy. Tell your clinician right away if you may be pregnant, are planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding.

    Results vary

    Medication is for adults, is used with nutrition and activity, and is prescribed only when a licensed clinician decides it is appropriate. Results vary from person to person, and the examples on this page are illustrative.

    Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. For severe symptoms, seek emergency care. This page describes a fictional sample practice and is not medical advice.

    The assessment takes about six minutes. A licensed clinician reads it, then decides whether a GLP-1 plan fits you.
