Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer: Yes — several telehealth companies combine prescription anti‑obesity medications (GLP‑1s like semaglutide/tirzepatide or other options) with real human coaching. Good options to consider:
-
Calibrate — A structured, year‑long metabolic program that pairs weekly or regular one‑on‑one coaching (behavioral health + coaching curriculum) with medical oversight; clinicians can prescribe anti‑obesity meds when appropriate. Strong behavioral component built into the price.
-
Done (GetDone) — Telehealth weight‑loss provider that prescribes GLP‑1s and includes ongoing remote support/coaching through the app and clinician follow‑ups. Good if you want medication management plus regular check‑ins.
-
PlushCare — Primary‑care telemedicine service whose clinicians will evaluate and prescribe weight‑loss medications when appropriate; you can add nutritionists or coaches through the platform. Good for people who want continuity with a tele‑primary‑care approach plus coaching resources.
-
SteadyMD — Connects you to a dedicated primary‑care doctor who manages prescriptions (including weight‑loss meds when clinically appropriate) and coordinates coaching or nutrition support; useful if you want one ongoing provider and bespoke coaching referrals.
-
Parsley Health — Membership integrative medicine practice with clinicians and health coaches/nutritionists; they provide comprehensive lifestyle coaching and can manage medications as part of the program (higher price point).
A few practical notes:
- Availability, medications offered, and whether coaching is one‑on‑one vs. group/async vary by company and by state. Some programs bundle coaching + meds in one price; others charge separately.
- GLP‑1s and other anti‑obesity drugs are prescription‑only and require medical evaluation; not everyone is a candidate.
- Check whether the program includes an MD/NP visit, ongoing coaching frequency, and whether medication cost is included or billed separately (insurance coverage varies).
If you want, tell me your state, budget, and whether you prefer one‑on‑one weekly coaching or lighter check‑ins and I’ll recommend the best match and links to enroll.
