GLP-1 medication is a key component of Calibrate’s Metabolic Reset. Our clincians prescribe a variety of GLP-1s, including semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide. These GLP-1s are often referred to by their brand name, so you may have heard of these FDA-approved medications as Wegovy™, Zepbound® or Saxenda®, to name a few.
GLP-1s mimic the effect of GLP-1 hormones naturally produced in the gut. These hormones send signals that affect metabolic function by regulating appetite and digestion to feel full faster and for longer, increasing your energy expenditure and maximizing nutrient absorption. These medications also work to regulate the body’s set point––the weight our bodies fight to maintain––and influence blood sugar response and insulin.
The Calibrate program is designed to fit into your life, not the other way around. You won’t be asked to make drastic changes. Instead, you’ll have the support of a Medical Team and a Calibrate coach to make small changes to your habits that lead to big results: 18% weight loss on average. See Calibrate Commitment here
Through our program, you can expect to achieve long-term, sustainable results provided that you participate and meet your Calibrate Commitment in four areas:
Here’s a summary of what Calibrate requires of members in their program:
- Tracking: Tracking your weight, “red foods”, and curriculum-related goals each day to see how they correlate over time. Monitoring weight is a proven tool to support weight loss. Tracking red foods helps you to better understand how your eating is affecting your metabolic health. Curriculum-related goals set the progressive steps to habit formation.
- Curriculum: Reading and following the content lessons.
- Coaching: Attending regular sessions with your coaching team.
- Medical Guidance: If my care plan involves care from a licensed provider, attending my clinical visits, completing check-ins and labs as requested by the Calibrate clinical team.
Note: If you are not actively engaged in the program by following the Calibrate Commitment, you are at risk of being disenrolled and losing access to medication. You will not have the ability to re-enroll for a period of 90 days.
Across the program, our team is dedicated to supporting you as you work toward real results and better metabolic health. We are committed to a life-changing and successful experience and are glad to be on this journey with you.

In order to obtain coverage and access to GLP-1 medications for weight loss, Calibrate enrollment is required. A Calibrate clinician will prescribe a GLP-1 medication if clinically appropriate. This is designed to help you best achieve your weight loss goals.
If your personal clinician prescribes GLP-1 medication for weight loss, you will be required to enroll in Calibrate and obtain a GLP-1 prescription from a Calibrate clinician. This is designed to help you best achieve your weight loss goals.
During your clinical visit, your Calibrate clinician will review your lab results and health history, and use this information to make recommendations for your treatment plan—tailored to you.
You should receive a lab order via email within two business days of sign-up from labs@joincalibrate.com. If we do not receive the necessary insurance information at sign-up, we’ll first contact you via email to obtain the necessary insurance details before ordering your labs.
Labs are not included in the cost of your Calibrate Program. Your Calibrate Team helps navigate your commercial insurance to get your labs covered, but coverage is not guaranteed. Reach out to your insurer and ask the following questions:
Does my plan cover the following lab tests? Is there a copay?
- Hemoglobin A1c
- Lipid panel
- Comprehensive metabolic panel
- Fasting insulin test
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Please note: To ensure proper medical identification, please make sure your labs contain your full name and date of birth on every page. Also, make sure the date of collection is on the pages of your results so we can validate when you got the labs done.
Prior to your Calibrate clinical visit, our Clinical Team requires you to complete lab work to better inform your medical care.
The lab requirements are as follows:
- Within 3 months prior to your clinical visit:
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
- Within 6 months prior to your clinical visit:
- Hemoglobin A1c
- Lipid Panel
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- fasting insulin - Optional but recommended
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) - Optional but recommended
If Calibrate generates the lab order, the required labs as well as a fasting insulin test and a C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test will automatically be included in your lab request.
If you plan to upload your own labs, be sure they meet the full list of requirements above. If you are missing any required labs from this list, you will need to visit a lab to have them drawn before you can schedule your appointment with a Calibrate clinician. Please do not visit a lab without getting a lab order from Calibrate. You can request a new lab order by messaging us via the Support Center in your Calibrate app.
To ensure proper medical identification, please make sure your labs contain your full name and date of birth on every page. Also, make sure the date of collection is on the pages of your results so we can validate when you got the labs done.
