What Is the Calibrate Weight Loss Program?

Quick Answer

Calibrate is a telehealth weight-loss program built around GLP-1 medications plus coaching and a behavior-change curriculum. As of Oct 2025, individual plans start at $199/month with a 3-month minimum ($597 total). Medications and labs are billed through insurance separately; Calibrate navigates coverage and says most insured members see GLP-1 copays around $25/month after deductibles. The company advertises a 10% weight-loss money-back eligibility after 12 consecutive months if criteria are met. Sources

How Calibrate Works

1. Clinician visit & labs: Review history, order labs, and determine GLP-1 eligibility. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

3. Coaching & curriculum: Bi-weekly 1:1 video coaching plus in-app lessons on food, exercise, sleep, and emotional health. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Pros & Cons
