While GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro®) is a part of the Calibrate program, we’re more than just a prescription provider. Our program puts biology at its center, combining personalized coaching, FDA-approved medication, and science-backed educational resources to help you make meaningful changes to all of the factors that influence weight.

Calibrate works—guaranteed. If you do not achieve a minimum of 10% weight loss after 12 consecutive months on our program, you may qualify for a refund of 50% of your Membership Fees (see terms).

Clinician appointments with licensed, board-certified physicians

All Calibrate clinicians are US-licensed and board-certified, and many have extensive backgrounds in obesity medicine. You'll meet with your Calibrate clinician for a 30-minute 1:1 virtual (Zoom) visit when you start your membership and again towards the end of your first year. You’ll also complete medical check-ins at set intervals and can contact your Medical Team with questions anytime through the app.

Coaching and support

With Calibrate, you’re not alone on your journey to better health. Throughout your Metabolic Reset, you’ll meet with an experienced coach on a biweekly basis to review the curriculum, set goals, and to celebrate your wins together. Together with your coach, you’ll work on establishing your “Why”—and learn how to maintain your progress no matter what life throws your way.

Science-backed curriculum

Our evidence-based curriculum is designed to help you make lasting improvements across the Four Pillars of Metabolic Health: food, exercise, sleep, and emotional health. Progress through learning modules in the Calibrate app, reinforcing and putting new ideas into practice with support from your coach.

FDA-approved GLP-1 medication

The medications Calibrate clinicians prescribe are called GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s)—specifically, semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide, and dulaglutide. These medications are often referred to by their brand name: you may have heard of Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Zepbound® to name a few. Your Calibrate clinician will review your medical history to prescribe the best GLP-1 for you.
Please note: labs and prescription medication fees are the responsibility of the member under their insurance plan and are not included in the cost of the program.

Your Calibrate program will be divided into levels that encompass classes, goals, and coaching sessions—each one building upon the last.

Get Started

MONTH 0-3

Learning

Learn the foundations of metabolic health

In the first three months, you’ll start your GLP-1 prescription, meet with a member of your coaching team every other week, and establish your bi-weekly goals. You’ll also read 1-2 lessons per week to lay the groundwork for your Metabolic Reset.

Your focus during this time frame will be learning the core Calibrate principles of food, exercise, sleep, and emotional health that will serve as the foundation for your program.

Most Calibrate members start to experience weight loss and notice other health improvements within their first three months. However, if you find that Calibrate isn’t working for you after a minimum 3-month commitment, you may cancel your membership penalty-free.

MONTH 3-6

Practicing

Start practicing what you’ve learned

In months three through six, you’ll continue meeting with your coach every other week. You’ll continue to read about 2 lessons per week, covering skills that build on the fundamentals you learned during the first three months.

At this stage, you’ll have more flexibility as the curriculum becomes more modular and you can choose “focus classes” in areas of your choice. Overall, these months are centered on practicing the food, exercise, sleep, and emotional health principles you’ve learned so far and starting to transform them into habits.

MONTH 6-9

Setting and Reinforcing

Refine and reinforce your habits to fit your life

By month six, most members will have met some of their goals or will be close to doing so (nice!). You’ll continue meeting with your coach every other week and will keep progressing through the curriculum during months six through nine.

Your focus during this time frame will transition from practicing to setting healthy habits and making them part of your daily routine. You’ll work with your coach to make your habits easy to remember and tough to sabotage, using journaling and other proven tactics to help reframe your mindset.

MONTH 9+

Sustaining

Ensure you’re set up for lasting success

During month nine and beyond, you’ll continue to meet with a member of your coaching team on a biweekly basis to evaluate your goals and progress and talk about any challenges you’ve been facing. You’ll be able to choose additional “focus classes” in areas of your choice to help personalize your learning.

As you approach one year of your Calibrate program, your focus will be on sustaining the habits and health improvements you’ve made so far—and celebrating your progress! You’ll work with your coach to synthesize what you’ve learned and define the toolkit that will help you maintain your results long-term.

Yes - our Results Money Back Promise states if you don’t lose at least of 10% your body weight after 12 consecutive months on our Metabolic Reset, you’re eligible for money back (see terms).

The medications Calibrate clinicians prescribe in our Metabolic Reset are called GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s). Calibrate clinicians prescribe a variety of GLP-1s, including semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide, and dulaglutide. These GLP-1s are often referred to by their brand name, so you may have heard of these medications as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®, to name a few.

All GLP-1s are clinically-tested, stimulant-free, and non-habit forming. GLP-1s address the underlying biology that is most important for weight loss, and help lower your set point, or the weight your body fights to stay at. GLP-1s are powerful, naturally-occurring hormones made by your gut that send signals to your brain to decrease your appetite, improve your metabolic system, and regulate your digestion so you can feel full longer and maximize nutrient absorption.

Regardless of which medication you’re prescribed, our commitment to all of our members remains the same—10% weight loss or you're eligible for money back (see terms).

You can read more about GLP-1s here.
