What we like

  • Offers a Responsible Prescribing track with optimized GLP-1 use
  • Clinically monitored medication off-ramp toward nutrition therapy
  • Nutrition-first model shown to rival GLP-1 weight loss (about 13% at 1 year)
  • Provided at no cost to members through employers and health plans
  • Strong evidence base for diabetes reversal and metabolic health

The caveats

  • Primarily a nutrition program; GLP-1s are a secondary track
  • Distributed via employers and health plans, no direct cash-pay
  • Deliberately discourages GLP-1 use for most members
  • GLP-1 access depends on the specific program the plan selects
