Why patients choose Heally for weight loss

If you have tried dieting, calorie counting, or other programs without lasting results, you are not alone and you are not failing. Medical weight loss with FDA-approved GLP-1 medications works differently because it addresses the hormonal drivers of appetite, not just willpower.

Your Heally doctor reviews what you have been taking, your results so far, and your goals, then recommends the right next step at the free consultation.

Frequently asked questions about medical weight loss and GLP-1 medications

Do I need a prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Yes. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription-only GLP-1 medications that require evaluation by a licensed physician. At Heally, you can get a prescription online after a telehealth consultation, with no in-person clinic visit required.
How do I get a weight loss prescription online?
You answer a short health questionnaire and meet a board-certified physician in a 15-minute telehealth visit. Your provider decides whether treatment is appropriate; if so, your prescription can be written the same day and your medication ships to your door. The entire online doctor consultation happens from home.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor, while tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist, which produced more weight loss in the head-to-head SURMOUNT-5 trial (20.2% vs 13.7% at 72 weeks). Semaglutide is available as an injection or daily pill, while tirzepatide is injection-only. Your doctor can compare both at a free consultation.
Which weight loss medication produces the best results?
In the head-to-head SURMOUNT-5 trial, tirzepatide (Zepbound) produced more weight loss than semaglutide (Wegovy), 20.2% vs 13.7% at 72 weeks. The right medication for you depends on your health profile, goals, and tolerance, which your physician assesses at the free consultation.
How quickly does GLP-1 medication start working for weight loss?
Many people notice reduced appetite within the first few weeks, while meaningful weight loss builds gradually over several months as the dose is increased. GLP-1 medications are started low and escalated slowly to limit side effects. Your doctor monitors progress through follow-up telehealth visits.
Is online weight loss treatment covered by insurance?
Coverage for GLP-1 weight loss medications varies by plan, indication, and dose. Heally offers transparent self-pay pricing, with the Wegovy pill from $149 per month (starter dose), and no insurance required. Ask at your free consultation about eligibility and manufacturer savings programs.
Can I get a weight loss prescription if I have type 2 diabetes?
Yes. Your physician reviews your diagnosis, medications, and history before recommending a treatment at the free consultation.
What happens if I stop taking my weight loss medication?
Appetite often returns after stopping a GLP-1, and some people regain weight without ongoing lifestyle support, which is why these medications are typically viewed as long-term treatment. If you are considering pausing or stopping, your Heally doctor can help you build a maintenance plan through online follow-ups.
Can I switch from one GLP-1 medication to another?
Yes, switching between GLP-1 medications is common, for example from semaglutide to tirzepatide. There is no standard washout period required between GLP-1 class medications. Your physician reviews your history and sets a suitable starting dose at the free consultation.
What is the most affordable weight loss medication available online?
At Heally, the Wegovy pill starts at $149 per month (starter dose) and the Wegovy injection starts at $199 per month. All plans include a free doctor consultation with no insurance required.
