Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Do you mean programs in the United States, and are you specifically asking about GLP‑1 medications (semaglutide/Ozempic/Wegovy, tirzepatide/Zepbound) or any prescription weight‑loss drug? Also: do you want 1:1 human coaches (health coaches / RDs / therapists) rather than only automated app coaching?
If that sounds right, here are several well‑known options that combine telemedicine prescribing and real human coaching/support:
-
Found (found.com) — Telehealth program that commonly prescribes GLP‑1s (when clinically appropriate) and pairs patients with a health coach and registered dietitian for weekly support and behavior change work. Good for people wanting medically supervised meds plus frequent coach contact.
-
Hims / Hers (forhers.com) — Telemedicine company that prescribes GLP‑1s through clinician visits and offers nursing/care‑team follow up and messaging. Hers markets a more comprehensive “weight loss” plan with clinicians and support staff; coaching is less structured than some dedicated coaching programs but you get regular care‑team contact.
-
PlushCare (plushcare.com) — Primary‑care/telehealth service that can prescribe weight‑loss medications and offers ongoing follow‑up with clinicians; they also offer access to health coaches and therapists through their platform. Good if you want a tele‑primary‑care model with coaching available.
-
Profile by Sanford (profileplan.com) — A structured weight‑loss program with in‑person or virtual appointments, one‑on‑one coaching and medical oversight; depending on the clinician they may prescribe anti‑obesity medication. Good if you want a program with scheduled coaching visits plus medical supervision.
Notes and caveats
- Availability, the specific meds offered, and whether a program will prescribe GLP‑1s vary by state, individual medical history, and clinician judgment.
- Ask any program: (1) who does the coaching (certification/credentials), (2) who prescribes and how often you’re monitored (labs, follow‑ups), (3) total cost (meds can be expensive and often aren’t covered), and (4) whether they use brand drugs or compounding pharmacies. If you tell me your state, budget, and whether you want frequent 1:1 coaching vs lighter support, I can tailor a short list with pricing and how to contact each.
