Calibrate focuses on sustainable weight loss by improving metabolic health instead of relying on traditional dieting methods. Their program combines gradual habit changes with medication that targets underlying biological factors. This approach has reportedly led to a 15% sustained weight loss in real-world settings, distinguishing Calibrate from other weight loss programs. The company operates on a subscription model, often supported by employers as part of employee wellness initiatives, but is also available to individuals. Calibrate uses GLP-1 medications that mimic natural hormones to enhance metabolic function, reduce inflammation, and lower cardiovascular risks. Their goal is to provide an easy-to-maintain program that effectively promotes long-term health and wellness.
