A program brief from VidaVital Medical

Medical weight loss, the long-arc protocol.

A physician-led GLP-1 program that pairs semaglutide or tirzepatide with monthly labs and proactive titration.

Most weight-loss telehealth ends at the prescription. We start there. Every patient gets an intake, a comprehensive marker panel, monthly dose titration, and a maintenance plan when it's time to taper — all under one program.

— The program

Four phases, one continuous care arc.

Most GLP-1 telehealth services stop at the prescription. We don't. Every phase is run by your physician, with labs and titration baked into the program.

PHASE 01 WEEK 0

Intake & labs

Physician consult, full metabolic panel, BMI / body composition, medication history.

PHASE 02 WEEK 1–2

Protocol & start

Personalized dose plan reviewed with you. First medication shipped to your door.

PHASE 03 WEEK 4–12

Titration

Weekly check-ins by message. Monthly labs. Dose adjusted based on response, side effects, goals.

PHASE 04 MONTH 4+

Sustain

Quarterly re-labs, body composition retest, nutrition coaching, and structured maintenance plan.

— Medications we prescribe

The right molecule, matched to you.

Choice is driven by your labs, BMI, comorbidities, response, and tolerability — not the formulary. Every prescription is shipped to your door from a U.S. licensed pharmacy.

— Eligibility & safety

The honest answer to “is it for me?”

GLP-1 therapy is a powerful tool, not a universal one. Here is the criteria your physician will use, and the cases where we'll recommend a different path.

Typical fit MOST APPLICANTS

You are likely a candidate if…

  • +BMI ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related condition (T2D, hypertension, sleep apnea, dyslipidemia)
  • +BMI ≥ 30 without comorbidities
  • +Have plateaued on lifestyle changes alone for 6+ months
  • +Are willing to commit to monthly labs and titration
  • +Are not currently pregnant, nursing, or planning pregnancy
Not a fit / use caution WE'LL TELL YOU

We'll redirect care if…

  • Personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2
  • History of pancreatitis or severe gastroparesis
  • Active eating disorder — we partner with a specialist clinic
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or active fertility treatment
  • BMI < 25 — we'll explore root causes before medication
SAFETY Side effects (nausea, GI changes, fatigue) are common and usually transient. Your physician adjusts dose to minimize them. We never push titration past your tolerance. Speak with a physician

Eleven months on tirzepatide. The numbers, not the marketing.

— Frequently asked

The questions everyone asks on a consult.

Nothing here replaces a conversation with your physician. But it should clear the most common confusion before you book.

01Will I regain the weight if I stop?+

Without a maintenance plan, most patients regain a significant portion in the first year off medication. Our off-ramp protocol — slower taper, body composition tracking, nutrition follow-up — is designed to prevent that. Some patients stay on a low maintenance dose long-term; that's a clinical decision, not a default.

02Is this covered by insurance?+

Sometimes. If your plan covers GLP-1s for weight management, we'll route the prescription through your pharmacy. If it doesn't, we'll route through our partner pharmacy at cash price. The program itself is HSA/FSA eligible.

03How is this different from telehealth-only GLP-1 services?+

Telehealth-only services typically issue a prescription and stop there. We run quarterly labs, monthly titration, and dietitian sessions in-house. Your physician knows your panel, not just your weight.

04What about side effects?+

Nausea, GI changes, and fatigue are common in the first 4–6 weeks. We start at the lowest effective dose and titrate based on tolerance — not on a fixed calendar. If side effects are limiting, we adjust before they become a problem.

05Do I need to come in person?+

Your intake can be in-clinic at one of our six VidaVital locations or via telehealth. Either path includes the same care arc, the same labs, and the same physician follow-up.
