About
Calibrate is a comprehensive metabolic reset program designed to address the biological root causes of weight gain and obesity. Unlike traditional diets that focus on calorie restriction or willpower, Calibrate takes a data-driven, clinical approach by combining three core pillars: clinician-prescribed GLP-1 medications, personalized 1:1 video coaching, and science-backed educational lessons. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications mimic naturally occurring gut hormones that regulate digestion, reduce inflammation, improve metabolic function, and lower cardiovascular disease risk. Calibrate clinicians evaluate members and prescribe the appropriate GLP-1 medication as part of a holistic program. The platform is available both to individuals starting at $199/month and through employer-sponsored plans, making it accessible to a broad population. Employers can partner with Calibrate to cover program costs for their workforce as part of obesity care benefits strategy. Calibrate's outcomes data demonstrates sustained results in real-world settings, with members outperforming industry benchmarks on weight loss maintenance at the three-year mark. The program is rooted in clinical research and is particularly suited for adults struggling with metabolic health issues, obesity, or weight management who want a medically guided, long-term solution rather than a quick fix.
Key Features
- Clinician-Prescribed GLP-1 Medications: Board-certified clinicians evaluate each member and prescribe FDA-recognized GLP-1 medications that target metabolic health at the hormonal level.
- 1:1 Video Coaching: Members receive personalized video coaching sessions to support lifestyle changes, accountability, and long-term weight maintenance.
- Science-Backed Education: Structured reading lessons grounded in metabolic research teach members how to sustain healthy habits beyond the program.
- Employer Coverage Integration: Calibrate partners with employers to cover program costs for employees and dependents, making obesity care a workplace benefit.
- Long-Term Outcomes Tracking: Calibrate tracks member results over multi-year periods, providing transparent outcomes data showing sustained weight loss benchmarks.

- Employers and HR teams building sustainable, cost-effective obesity care strategies for their workforce.
- Individuals who have tried diets without lasting results and want a science-backed approach that addresses biological root causes.

Pros
- Clinically Proven Results: Members lose an average of 19% of their body weight over three years, outperforming industry benchmarks with real-world data to support claims.
- Root-Cause Biological Approach: Unlike fad diets, Calibrate addresses metabolic health at its source using GLP-1 medication and hormonal regulation, not just calorie restriction.
- Employer-Sponsored Access: Many employers cover the cost of Calibrate, significantly reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket expenses for eligible employees.
Cons
