From your first questions to ongoing care, here is what to expect at every step.
Book my consultation
A clear path from your first questions to weight that stays off.
Why you are here, what you have tried, what gets in the way, your health history and your medicines. Your provider reads every answer before you meet.
With an obesity medicine specialist, an MD. We listen first, look at your health together, and decide together whether medicine is right for you.
With insurance, we submit the prior authorization and follow it up for you. Self-pay medicine ships to your door from a state-licensed pharmacy, with clear instructions, and you are charged only when your provider prescribes and you start your plan.
Follow-up consultations, a message line to your care team, and a weekly curriculum in the app: one short lesson and one goal at a time.
GLP-1 medicines are too powerful to prescribe over chat. Here is what we do instead.
Every prescriber is an MD specializing in obesity medicine. You meet one-on-one, by video consultation.
Your plan starts from your health, your goals and what has been hard before, and it changes as you respond to treatment.
You see every option, including insurance, before you decide anything. Self-pay is charged only when your provider prescribes and you start your plan.
Message your care team between consultations, and see your provider again when a message is not enough.
GLP-1 medicine may be right for you if:
GLP-1 receptor agonist
Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist
Brand-name medications
You pick a time for your video consultation. Your provider reads your answers before you meet, and you build your plan together at the consultation.
No. Consultations are by video, and prescriptions, messages and follow-up happen through the Aayu Well app.
Your provider explains why and talks through other options with you. Self-pay patients are charged only when their provider prescribes and they start a plan.
Self-pay medicine ships from a state-licensed pharmacy, cold-packed when needed, with tracking. With insurance, your prescription goes to your pharmacy.
Message your care team through the app. Nausea is common early on and often settles as your body adjusts, and your provider may slow the next dose change. For severe or lasting symptoms, seek urgent care. In an emergency, call 911.
Think of it like building a house: a strong foundation first, then something that lasts. Your care moves through four phases, with medical care, nutrition and movement in each one.
Everyone's journey is a little different. Most people take 18 months to two years to reach their best weight and build habits that last. Here is how the phases work:
LeanerYour care team builds your plan with you: medicine if it is right for you, food that fits your life, and movement that protects your muscle. The goal is to end up leaner and healthier, not thinner but softer.
We start with a low dose and raise it step by step, based on how you feel, to keep side effects low.
Our registered dietitian helps you turn your plan into meals you can make: protein first at every meal, and portions that fit your new appetite.
Strength work twice a week and regular walks, because muscle is what keeps your metabolism up while the weight comes off.
Most of the change in weight happens in this phase, while the first habits take hold.
HealthierOnce your dose is settled, the focus turns to habits you can keep. Regular consultations with your provider and dietitian track your progress and work through what gets in the way.
Habits take root: protein at every meal, strength work, steady sleep and routines that fit your life.
EmpoweredWith your habits in place, you keep going with lighter support: the app, the weekly curriculum and your care team when you need them.
Beyond MedicationWhen you are ready, and only if it is right for you, we lower the dose slowly while your habits carry more of the work. The goal is weight that stays off.
