Candidacy Check
GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss
Before starting any GLP-1 medication for weight loss, patient safety is our top priority. All individuals must complete a Candidacy Check to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate and safe based on medical history and current health status.
This screening helps ensure that treatment is medically appropriate and aligned with established clinical guidelines.
Who May Qualify for GLP-1 Treatment
To be considered for GLP-1 weight loss medications, patients must meet all of the following basic eligibility criteria:
Age: 12 years or older
Pregnancy Status: Not currently pregnant and not planning to become pregnant
Breastfeeding Status: Not currently breastfeeding
Body Mass Index (BMI): Greater than 24
Diabetes Type: Must not have Type 1 diabetes
Medical History Requirements
For safety reasons, patients must not have a personal or family history of the following conditions:
Pancreatic cancer
Medullary thyroid cancer
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type II (MEN II)
These conditions may increase the risk of serious side effects when using GLP-1 medications.
Why the Candidacy Check Is Required
GLP-1 medications are powerful, prescription-based treatments that affect appetite regulation, blood sugar, and metabolic processes. Completing the Candidacy Check allows our medical team to:
Protect patient safety
Identify potential risks or contraindications
Ensure compliance with medical guidelines
Determine whether a doctor consultation is required
Patients who do not meet eligibility requirements may still have access to alternative weight loss or wellness options that do not require GLP-1 therapy.
Next Steps
Once you complete the Candidacy Check:
If approved: You may proceed to a medical consultation and gain access to GLP-1 treatment options.
If not approved: You will be guided toward other suitable products or programs that better match your health profile.
Your health and safety always come first. Complete the Candidacy Check to see if GLP-1 weight loss treatment is right for you.
