Staying on Top of Your Check-Ins

Why Ongoing Monitoring Matters

GLP-1 therapy is a long-term partnership, not a one-time prescription. Regular check-ins let us catch anything that needs adjusting early, and confirm that your plan is still the right fit as your body changes.

What Check-Ins Typically Include

• A review of how you're tolerating your current dose and any side effects.
• A look at your progress toward your goals, including appetite, cravings, and how maintenance feels day to day.
• A conversation about whether to continue, adjust, or hold your current plan.

How Check-Ins Work

Most check-ins happen through messaging — you'll hear from us (or can reach out) around the time you're due for a refill or a scheduled review. If you'd ever prefer to talk things through live, you can always request a video visit.

How Often to Expect a Check-In

• While you're actively losing weight: roughly every two weeks via messaging.
• Once you're on a maintenance dose: at least once a month.

These are general guidelines — your care team may check in more often if you're adjusting to a new dose, working through side effects, or navigating a taper. You're always welcome to message us more often than that if something comes up in between.

Key takeaway: You don't need to wait for something to feel wrong to check in. Regular check-ins are a normal, expected part of long-term treatment — not a sign that something's off.

Between Check-Ins

• Keep a simple mental (or written) note of how you're feeling, any side effects, and your progress — it makes check-ins faster and more useful. And as always, message us any time something comes up that can't wait.
