LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF

Calibrate is available to employees and their dependents for whom the following apply:

• At least 18 years of age
• Are enrolled in an employer health plan
• BMI that’s greater than 30 (or greater than 27 with other metabolic conditions such as pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea or PCOS)
• Not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant in the next two years
• Do not have an active substance abuse problem, diabetes, an active eating disorder (e.g., anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating), cancer, recent bariatric surgery (within the past 18 months), active gallbladder disease, a history of pancreatitis in the past six months, or a history of medullary thyroid cancer (MEN syndrome)
• Live in the United States

GLP-1 medication is a key component of Calibrate’s virtual weight loss program. Our clinicians prescribe a variety of GLP-1s, including semaglutide, 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 medication cost varies and will depend on your current health plan. Please refer to your medical plan benefits for more information.

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.

Here’s a summary of what Calibrate requires of members in their program:

• Take medication as advised by the Calibrate Medical Team, and respond to Medical Check-ins via your Calibrate app every few months
• Attend 15-minute biweekly video coaching sessions
• Use the Calibrate app to track daily food, weight, and energy levels 
• Read quick and simple lessons, released every two weeks

If you are a new member with labs from the last three months that meet all lab requirements, you should have uploaded these as part of your account setup.
