Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most weight-loss medications are commonly referred to as GLP-1s, which stand for glucagon-like peptide-1—a hormone that is produced in our gut. It is secreted by the intestinal cells in response to meals, and then travels in the blood and enters the brain. It exerts its main effects by releasing insulin, slowing gastric emptying, increasing feelings of fullness, and reducing appetite.
-
The weight-loss results for these medications can vary depending on the individual, their response to side effects, and other factors such as diet and exercise. However, clinical studies have shown that these medications can lead to significant weight loss in many people, ranging from 5-15% weight loss from initial body weight.*
-
Medications approved for weight loss may be prescribed to adults with BMI > 30, or BMI > 27 with at least one weight-related medical condition (e.g. type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). Eligibility is determined solely by independent providers.
We encourage you to talk to your healthcare provider about your eligibility and access to these medications.
-
The most common side effects associated with weight-loss medications are gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea). Other serious side effects can occur. See more information about side effects for Wegovy and for Zepbound.
Long-term data on these medications are still emerging; talk to your healthcare provider about what is known, including risks, before starting any medication.
-
Long-term use of these medications is necessary to maintain weight-loss outcomes, if used without making lifestyle changes. Sustained outcomes are most likely when lifestyle changes that support weight management are made, such as those that are highlighted in the HMR Program.
-
There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to weight loss.

This treatment option is fully in line with our mission to make it easier for more people to lose weight and live healthier lives in a way that works for them.

The HMR Program utilizes behavioral change strategies, such as goal setting and tracking, paired with health coaching around nutrition and physical activity, to address many pillars of health, including sustainable weight loss, whereas GLP-1RA medication alone may only address changes in body weight while using the medication.
By combining weight-loss medication with a program such as HMR, people looking to lose weight can enhance outcomes, work toward achieving long-term weight management, and improve overall health.
-
At HMR, our goal is to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and skills to be successful in achieving your weight and health goals!
The HMR program includes nutrition and physical activity plans, group health coaching, and behavior change education for a simple and sustainable approach to weight management, with or without the use of GLP-1RA medication.
We work with our members to explore lifestyle change strategies and practices that will work for each individual member.
Additionally, our coaches work with members to provide education to help them set goals and apply new knowledge, skills, and behaviors consistently. Planning and practicing new healthy habits, eating nutritious foods, and increasing physical activity are components of HMR that can be implemented and practiced alongside GLP-1RA medication use for sustainable weight and health outcomes.

Yes! Following a diet rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals is always important—but especially while taking GLP-1s, in order to reduce potential side effects and ensure your body is fueled and nourished.
HMR food and meal plans provide this complete nutrition that is so important to preserving lean muscle and feeling well while losing weight.
When you subscribe to an HMR meal plan, you also get access to free coaching. Your dedicated HMR coaching will work with you to support your personal weight and health goals and your body's nutritional needs.
We also encourage you to talk with your primary care provider before starting this or any weight-loss plan.
