The world of weight loss is buzzing with three letters: G-L-P-1. These medications have been a game-changer for millions, offering a new, effective way to manage weight and improve health. But with so many online clinics and programs popping up, how do you choose the best one?
The truth is, the best GLP-1 weight loss program isn’t just about getting a prescription. It’s about finding a partner in your health journey—a team that offers expert medical guidance, personalized support, and a holistic plan for long-term success.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the options, you’re not alone. In our work with clients at Claya, we’ve seen firsthand how confusing it can be to navigate the world of telehealth weight loss. That’s why we’ve created this guide: to help you understand what a top-tier GLP-1 program looks like and how to find the one that’s right for you.
Why the “Best” GLP-1 Program Is About More Than Just Medication
GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are incredibly powerful tools. They work by mimicking a natural hormone that tells your brain you’re full, which helps to reduce your appetite and calorie intake. The results can be dramatic; a 2021 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that participants taking Semaglutide lost an average of nearly 15% of their body weight.
But medication alone is only one piece of the puzzle. True, lasting weight loss comes from a combination of medical treatment and sustainable lifestyle changes. The best GLP-1 programs understand this. They don’t just ship you a vial and a set of instructions. They provide a comprehensive support system designed to help you succeed.
As Dr. Jennifer Habashy, NMD, MS, a specialist in integrative metabolic health and a member of the Claya medical advisory team, puts it:
“GLP-1 therapy is a fantastic catalyst for change, but it’s not a magic wand. The most successful patients are those who pair the medication with a supportive ecosystem—one that includes expert guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and behavior. That’s where the real transformation happens.”
This is the core philosophy behind Claya. We believe that the best weight loss program is one that’s shaped for you.

- A Focus on Safety: Your provider should conduct a thorough health assessment before prescribing any medication and should monitor you closely throughout your treatment. They should also be transparent about the potential side effects of GLP-1 medications and how to manage them.
- A Clear, Simple Process: Getting started with a weight loss program shouldn’t be complicated. Look for a program with a straightforward onboarding process, a user-friendly platform, and a clear pricing structure. You can learn more about how it works at Claya on our website.
