Designed in partnership with leading minds in obesity treatment and metabolic health, Calibrate is a holistic approach to weight loss that combines doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication and 1:1 video coaching with lifestyle changes. The goal is to make gradual, science-backed changes to your food, sleep, exercise, and emotional health habits that ladder up to real results you can maintain—even after medication. And our members lose 18% weight loss, on average sustained over two years.

GLP-1 medication is a key component of Calibrate’s virtual weight loss program. Our doctors prescribe a variety of GLP-1s, including semaglutide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide. These GLP-1s are often referred to by their brand name, so you may have heard of these FDA-approved medications as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, or Saxenda®, to name a few.
GLP-1s mimic the effect of GLP-1 hormones naturally produced in the gut. These hormones send signals that affect metabolic function by regulating appetite and digestion to feel full faster and for longer, increasing your energy expenditure and maximizing nutrient absorption. These medications also work to regulate the body’s set point—the weight our bodies fight to maintain—and influence blood sugar response and insulin.
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have been periodically in shortage nationwide since 2021, making it difficult for patients to have consistent access to these medications, or to access them for the first time. We understand it can be concerning to have trouble filling a prescription from your doctor.
Calibrate is fundamentally different from prescription-only services. Medication is just one aspect of our program, and at Calibrate, we use medication as a tool—not the entire treatment. The Calibrate program is built to help your body do the same kind of work that medications like Wegovy and Saxenda do, so the best thing you can do if you’re affected by a shortage is to lean into the program.
If you can’t access your GLP-1 medication because of a shortage, Calibrate will work with you 1:1 to determine appropriate next steps. To ensure continuity of care, this may include changing to a dose that is currently in stock, finding an alternative GLP-1 medication that is covered by your insurance, or tapering off altogether (if clinically indicated).
