What we like

Offers a Responsible Prescribing track with optimized GLP-1 use
Clinically monitored medication off-ramp toward nutrition therapy
Nutrition-first model shown to rival GLP-1 weight loss (about 13% at 1 year)
Provided at no cost to members through employers and health plans
Strong evidence base for diabetes reversal and metabolic health

Where points come off

Primarily a nutrition program; GLP-1s are a secondary track
Distributed via employers and health plans, no direct cash-pay
Deliberately discourages GLP-1 use for most members
GLP-1 access depends on the specific program the plan selects

The bottom line — C

Best for: Plan members wanting nutrition-first care with optional monitored GLP-1 use.
