Semaglutide
Strong appetite regulation. Best evidence base. Slower titration tolerated by most.
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.
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.
Physician consult, full metabolic panel, BMI / body composition, medication history.
Personalized dose plan reviewed with you. First medication shipped to your door.
Weekly check-ins by message. Monthly labs. Dose adjusted based on response, side effects, goals.
Quarterly re-labs, body composition retest, nutrition coaching, and structured maintenance plan.
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.
Strong appetite regulation. Best evidence base. Slower titration tolerated by most.
Higher average loss in trials. Often preferred when semaglutide plateaus or for higher BMI.
For patients with brand shortages or insurance gaps. Identical active molecule, third-party tested.
One program covers the medical care. Medications are billed at pharmacy cost, with no markup, no rebrand, no surprise.
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.
The GLP-1 plan came with real nutrition support, not just a prescription. Down 34 lbs — and I understand why. The monthly labs made me feel like a participant, not a customer.
Nothing here replaces a conversation with your physician. But it should clear the most common confusion before you book.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
