Read on to learn more about the Calibrate Metabolic Reset and find out how it works for Pennsylvania residents. 

How Calibrate stands out against Pennsylvania medical weight loss clinics

Calibrate’s Metabolic Reset is not a diet. Instead, Calibrate combines medication and accountability coaching to reset your metabolic health. Our approach is based on decades of clinical research in fields such as bariatric medicine and endocrinology. Research shows—time and time again—that traditional diets simply do not work. 

Why is this? Most diet programs are fairly short-sighted, and they don't address a fundamental underlying determinant of weight and overall health: Your metabolic health. 

Your metabolic health helps inform how your body functions and how it responds to food, sleep, and emotional health triggers that impact weight. When your metabolic health is off-balance, you’re left plateauing or yo-yo-ing as your body fights to stay at its set point—the weight that your body has naturally settled at.

That’s why at Calibrate, our program is designed for your biology, not your willpower. Calibrate is medical weight loss at its best: We design our curriculum to fit with your life, not the other way around. We work with your insurance provider to make sure you are able to afford your medication and we offer our services at a rate that is attainable for far more Americans than the average medical weight loss or bariatric clinic. 

What is medical weight loss?

The field of medical weight loss is also sometimes referred to as bariatrics—however, most people associate the term “bariatrics” with bariatric surgery. Medical weight loss does not necessarily involve surgery. Rather, medical weight loss is weight loss overseen by a health care or medical professional, a.k.a. medically-supervised weight loss.

When done best, medical weight loss should involve a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of overweight or obesity that’s rooted in science, medicine, and medical research. Any Pennsylvania weight loss program led by a licensed physician who specializes in obesity or overweight is considered medical weight loss. 

The guidance of a medical professional is what sets medical weight loss apart from other diets, wellness programs, or weight loss programs. However, it’s important to approach even physician-led programs thoughtfully. Not all medical weight loss programs are research-based, safe, effective, and sustainable. Some programs use medications that are not approved for long-term use, or rely solely upon supplements, appetite suppressants, meal replacements, or unproven dietary recommendations. 

 Calibrate is grounded in science for sustainable weight loss and metabolic health improvements; the program was designed by a world-class advisory board of leading experts and our members enjoy convenient virtual access to coaching, a medical team, and other resources.

Many medical weight loss programs incorporate a combination of lifestyle changes—such as food, exercise, and behavior—alongside prescription medication. At Calibrate, we ensure that each element of the habit change is research-based and sets our members up for ongoing success while improving their overall quality of life. 

Calibrate’s Metabolic Reset: How it works

When you join Calibrate, you’ll start with a 30-minute virtual doctor’s appointment where you’ll discuss your lab panels and health history in detail. After a comprehensive review, your doctor will make a recommendation for GLP-1 medication: A class of medication that’s recently been proven the safest and most effective for long-term weight loss and weight management.  

GLP-1s prescribed by Calibrate include semaglutide and liraglutide, known under brand names like Wegovy® and Saxenda®, among others. These medications are FDA-approved and work by mimicking the natural GLP-1 hormone your body produces, which targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite, cravings, and food intake. It also has an important impact on the management of blood sugar levels.

Next, you’ll be matched with an accountability coach that will keep you accountable to the goals you set. They’ll act as your cheerleader and accountability partner, celebrating your successes and helping you keep your commitments. You’ll meet with a coach over 15-minute video sessions every other week. 

Meanwhile, you’ll move through four levels of learning as you engage with our comprehensive curriculum in the Calibrate app. Online lessons will teach you how to make small tweaks to your food, exercise, sleep, and emotional health habits—the Four Pillars of Metabolic Health. You’ll gain confidence implementing these steps by setting goals with your coaching team and tracking your progress in the app.

Throughout your Calibrate program, your team of medical providers will make sure you’re seeing measurable improvements in your health. After your initial 30-minute appointment, you’ll have access to the medical team in the Medical Channel and scheduled medical check-ins through the Calibrate app at the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month marks of your year. You’ll also get lab work done at the start and again at the end of your year to assess your progress on important health indicators like blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Medical weight loss for Pennsylvania residents: Key takeaways

Philly, Pittsburgh, and Scranton, PA residents: You don’t need to visit an in-person Pennsylvania medical weight loss center to reach your weight loss goals. No matter where in Pennsylvania you live, you can join Calibrate for as little as $138/month.

Research shows that comprehensive weight loss programs like Calibrate’s reap the best results. Calibrate members, on average, lose 15% of their body weight. This percentage is considered to be clinically significant because it can lower several risk factors for cardiovascular disease including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, while also reducing symptoms of depression, arthritis, and sleep apnea.

Importantly, Calibrate is not a “weight loss” program or clinic. It’s a metabolic health program that will help you lose weight by making lasting improvements to your overall health and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Where other programs rely on willpower and calorie counting, we focus on healthy inputs for your biology and small, gradual changes to your day-to-day life. The Calibrate program is designed to reset your metabolic system and gives you back control of your weight and your health.
