Calibrate is a doctor-guided metabolic reset designed and supported by the leading experts in obesity treatment. Here are just a few of the ways Calibrate is different than other weight loss programs.
Our approach has the highest standard of care in obesity treatment
Research shows that GLP-1 medication combined with lifestyle intervention is the most effective weight approach to sustained weight loss. Unlike other programs, Calibrate's approach is comprehensive, setting you up for long term success. The Calibrate program includes personalized 1:1 video coaching and and ongoing medical support to drive better results for members. In fact, Calibrate helps members achieve 18% average weight loss, sustained over two years.
Calibrate is flexible and sustainable
On Calibrate there are no sweeping restrictions or calorie counting. Together with your coach, you'll make small, gradual lifestyle changes that ladder up to big results that you can sustain long term. In fact 9 out of 10 Calibrate members agree that Calibrate is the most effective program they've tried.
The Calibrate team is experts at driving weight loss with GLP-1 medications
Calibrate was the first program built around GLP-1s, and we've supported tens of thousands of members on their journey. With Calibrate you'll get access to doctors who specialize in GLP-1 care and a team of Insurance Navigation Experts who will help you access affordable GLP-1 medication.
Calibrate delivers results or your money back, with the data to back it up
We stand by our results, so much so that if you don't lose 10%+ of your body weight on Calibrate you're eligible for a refund (see terms here). We're the only program with a proven track record of results, backed by our clinically-reviewed Results Report.
We navigate insurance on your behalf and are able to work with the vast majority of commercial/employer insurance plans in order to get cost effective access for your GLP-1 medication and coverage for your labs. Lab copays vary by plan. GLP-1s for most members with commercial insurance are typically capped at $25 per month after any deductible is met.
The cost of the Calibrate program is not covered by insurance, however it is HSA/FSA eligible.
Studies show it takes a minimum of 6-months before behavior change becomes a habit. Offering the highest standard of care in obesity treatment, Calibrate’s Metabolic Reset requires a 3-month commitment to give you the opportunity to adapt to key lifestyle changes. We recommend members stay on our program beyond this period for sustainable results. After the 3-month commitment, your membership will renew 1 month at a time, but you can cancel your membership at any time.
Unlike other programs, Calibrate's approach is holistic and behavior change is a critical component to set you up for long-term success.
We’re so confident our program works that we guarantee results. Our Results Money Back Promise states if you don't lose at least 10% of your weight after your first 12 consecutive months on our program, you're eligible for a 50% refund. See terms here.
At Calibrate we have a team of insurance navigation experts to help you access an initial GLP-1 medication prescription that's typically around $25/month or less (after any deductible is met). We’ve helped tens of thousands of members access affordable GLP-1s. However, in the unlikely scenario that there is no path to a low-cost GLP-1 for you, rest assured we still guarantee results.
Although medication is an important aspect of our program, medical experts agree: the combination of GLP-1 medication and lifestyle changes is the most effective approach to sustainable weight loss. With this in mind, we guarantee that if you stick with Calibrate for 12 consecutive months, you will lose at least 10% of your body weight, with or without the GLP-1 medication or you'll be eligible for money back!

We’ll never restrict your diet. Instead, we’ll help you rebalance it. Calibrate's approach to food is flexible and works with nearly all dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, kosher, vegan, and lactose-free (to name just a few). We strive to help you establish a sustainable and flexible approach to nutrition that focuses on minimizing fast-digesting carbs and making healthier choices that include protein, fiber, and healthy fats—without restricting or counting calories.
Importantly, the Calibrate food program is not a diet: we do not use meal replacements or offer meal plans. We don’t try to restrict your eating: instead, we help you rebalance it. For breakfast, you might have avocado and eggs or berries and yogurt. For lunch or dinner, you could prepare a grain bowl with roasted veggies and chicken, or a slow-cooker meal.

The food program at Calibrate creates a healthy, sustainable way of eating that promotes weight loss and sets you up for long-term health. Through our nutrition curriculum classes, the support of your accountability coaching team, and the guidance of your medical team, you’ll learn how to build healthier food habits into the life you’re already living.
