Calibrate doctors are all board-certified and trained in a variety of disciplines, including integrative and functional medicine, endocrinology, and cardiology. Calibrate nurses are all Registered Nurses (RNs) with current state licenses.
Accountability coaches come from a number of different backgrounds––including public health, psychology, education, and nutrition––and therefore have a number of different certifications and qualifications. Regardless of an accountability coach’s prior experience, all coaches complete a rigorous training program in order to receive a Calibrate Coaching Certification prior to being able to meet with any of our members.
Calibrate is only available for people with a BMI of 30 or above (or a BMI of 27 or above with one or more of the following metabolic conditions: diabetes, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea or PCOS) because the FDA-approved medications that are part of our program are indicated for use only for those who have a BMI within this range. Calibrate doctors do not prescribe outside of this indicated use.
Calibrate functions much like a team of specialists in the traditional healthcare setting: Calibrate doctors work alongside members’ primary care doctors and other specialists to treat obesity. When needed, Calibrate doctors speak directly with PCPs and other treating physicians for coordination of care.
Calibrate members have a group of doctors and nurses who follow their progress and oversee their care. Our team-based approach ensures that members have uninterrupted, high-quality care throughout their time on the program. Members always have access to their Medical Team, which includes both Calibrate doctors and nurses, and are able to ask asynchronous questions or schedule additional calls and video visits at any time through messaging in the dedicated Medical Channel of their Calibrate app.
