Get Weight-Loss Medication through HMR
Weight-loss medication can be a game-changer for eligible individuals. And for best results, we recommend combining it with HMR's convenient meals and built-in support, to set yourself up for long-term success.
How the Medication Plan Works
We have partnered with a nationwide network of affiliated providers who are credentialed to prescribe weight loss medications, like Wegovy and Zepbound, to eligible participants. Follow the steps below to see if you are eligible to join our Medication Plan Membership, which starts at just $89 a month**.
Share your health details and weight loss goals with an affiliated provider.
If eligible, a designated provider and nurse will call to discuss the best treatment option for you.
The care team will then review your insurance options... and then you're ready to go!
Most weight-loss medications are commonly referred to as GLP-1s, which stand for glucagon-like peptide-1—a hormone that is produced in our gut. It is secreted by the intestinal cells in response to meals, and then travels in the blood and enters the brain. It exerts its main effects by releasing insulin, slowing gastric emptying, increasing feelings of fullness, and reducing appetite.
The weight-loss results for these medications can vary depending on the individual, their response to side effects, and other factors such as diet and exercise. However, clinical studies have shown that these medications can lead to significant weight loss in many people, ranging from 5-15% weight loss from initial body weight.*
Medications approved for weight loss may be prescribed to adults with obesity (BMI > 27) who also have weight-related medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
We encourage you to talk to your healthcare provider about your eligibility and access to these medications.

The most common side effects associated with weight-loss medications are gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) which are usually mild and occur in the first few weeks of treatment.
There is no data yet on the long-term effects of taking these medications for weight loss.
Long-term use of these medications is necessary to maintain weight-loss outcomes. Sustained outcomes are most likely when lifestyle changes that support weight management are made.
There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to weight loss. And with data showing the effectiveness of weight-loss medications*, we made the decision to provide access to them through our new HMR Medication Plan**. This new treatment option is fully in line with our mission to make it easier for more people to lose weight and live healthier lives in a way that works for them.
We believe the impact of medication, when combined with our clinically proven food and behavioral change program, can enhance people's weight and health outcomes for long-term success.
Enhance your weight-loss medication with HMR—foods and support designed for fast weight loss and lasting change.
Fast, healthy, simple weight loss—includes all the food you will eat each day (just add fruits & veggies).
Choose some HMR foods to replace some higher calorie meals and snacks in a way that fits your life.
If you don't want a subscription plan, you can simply shop for the HMR foods you want!
The HMR Program utilizes behavioral change strategies, such as goal setting and tracking, paired with health coaching around nutrition and physical activity, to address many pillars of health, including sustainable weight loss, whereas GLP-1RA medication alone may only address changes in body weight while using the medication.
By combining weight-loss medication with a program such as HMR, people looking to lose weight can enhance outcomes, work toward achieving long-term weight management, and improve overall health.
At HMR, our goal is to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and skills to be successful in achieving your weight and health goals!
The HMR program includes nutrition and physical activity plans, group health coaching, and behavior change education for a simple and sustainable approach to weight management, with or without the use of GLP-1RA medication.
We work with our members to explore lifestyle change strategies and practices that will work for each individual member.
Additionally, our coaches work with members to provide education to help them set goals and apply new knowledge, skills, and behaviors consistently. Planning and practicing new healthy habits, eating nutritious foods, and increasing physical activity are components of HMR that can be implemented and practiced alongside GLP-1RA medication use for sustainable weight and health outcomes.
Yes! Even if you do not wish to join a subscription plan (which includes free health coaching), you can use protein-rich HMR Shakes and Puddings, prepared Entrees, and grab-and go nutrition Bars, to ensure good nutrition in a convenient (and delicious!) way.
Yes! Following a diet rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals is always important—but especially while taking GLP-1s, in order to reduce potential side effects and ensure your body is fueled and nourished.
HMR food and meal plans provide this complete nutrition that is so important to preserving lean muscle and feeling well while losing weight.
When you subscribe to an HMR meal plan, you also get access to free coaching. Your dedicated HMR coaching will work with you to support your personal weight and health goals and your body's nutritional needs.
We also encourage you to talk with your primary care provider before starting this or any weight-loss plan.
