Q: What is an online medical weight loss program?
A: An online medical weight loss program connects patients with licensed providers via telehealth for evaluation, eligibility review, and — if appropriate — access to prescription GLP-1 medications. DietsMD's program is fully online and provider-guided from start to finish.

Treatment options are determined by your provider based on your health history and eligibility. Prescriptions are not guaranteed.
