GLP-1 weight loss, with a clinician behind it
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide can be powerful tools for weight management — but the medication is only part of it. The results that last come from the care around it: a real evaluation, baseline and follow-up labs, dose titration and muscle-preservation support. That’s the part a quick prescription usually skips, and the part a clinician-built protocol starts with.

The GLP-1 options a clinician can prescribe

GLP-1 Longevity Care does the work around the medication: a personalized clinical evaluation, ongoing labs across 70+ biomarkers and nine biological systems, dose optimization and a dedicated care team — with a GLP-1 prescribed only where a clinician determines it fits. From $99/month; medication is billed separately.
Real GLP-1 care includes clinical oversight — not just a prescription in the mail.

Up to three comprehensive panels a year track how your body responds, so your protocol can be adjusted.
The research behind GLP-1s
Peer-reviewed trials on the medications discussed here — from weight management to cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. Results are population averages from controlled trials; individual response varies and not everyone is a candidate.
Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity (STEP 1, New England Journal of Medicine, 2021)
Tirzepatide Once Weekly for the Treatment of Obesity (SURMOUNT-1, New England Journal of Medicine, 2022)
Semaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Obesity without Diabetes (SELECT, New England Journal of Medicine, 2023)
Effects of Semaglutide on Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (FLOW, New England Journal of Medicine, 2024)
Common questions about GLP-1 weight loss
GLP-1 medications mimic gut hormones your body makes after eating. They act on appetite and satiety signaling and slow how quickly the stomach empties, which for many people reduces hunger and food intake. Semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in eligible adults, alongside diet and activity. They are prescription medications, not a shortcut — a licensed clinician decides whether one is appropriate for you.
Depending on what your clinician determines is appropriate, options include Wegovy® (semaglutide, a weekly injection or daily pill), Zepbound® (tirzepatide, a weekly injection), Foundayo™ (a daily pill for people who would rather not inject), and non-branded semaglutide as a lower-cost flat-rate option. Your clinician matches the medication and delivery method to your history, goals, and how you respond over time.
Start with a short assessment about your health history and goals. A licensed Healthspan clinician reviews it along with your baseline labs and determines whether a GLP-1 is medically appropriate — based on your history and goals, not BMI alone. If it is, they build a titration plan and the prescription is sent to a licensed pharmacy for delivery. Not everyone qualifies.
The GLP-1 Longevity Care membership starts at $99/mo and covers the clinical evaluation, ongoing biomarker tracking (up to three comprehensive lab panels a year), dose optimization and monitoring, and a dedicated clinical care team. Medication is billed separately based on the prescription and the pharmacy used. You can cancel anytime, and the membership is HSA/FSA eligible.
It’s monitored. Healthspan tracks 70+ biomarkers across nine biological systems with up to three comprehensive lab panels a year, and a clinician adjusts your dose and manages side effects and muscle preservation as you go. That ongoing oversight is the difference between managed care and a prescription that simply arrives in the mail.
GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet specific medical criteria, and for type 2 diabetes. They aren’t appropriate for everyone: a clinician screens your history, current medications, and goals, and may recommend a different approach. Suitability, dosing, and whether to start at all are clinical decisions made with you — not a guarantee, and not based on a form alone.
