Frequently asked questions
Telemedicine doesn’t mean hands-off care. Science&Humans’ unique combination of medication, one-on-one counseling, and expert lifestyle advice will transform your weight-loss journey.
Our clinicians will develop a personalized plan, with regular follow-ups to ensure you’re getting the right medication at a dose that works for you.
GLP1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and promoting insulin secretion. GLP1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic the effects of GLP1 in the body, leading to improved blood sugar control and weight loss. These medications work by slowing down the digestion process, reducing appetite, and increasing feelings of fullness. They are primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes but have also been approved for weight loss in some cases.
Formulated GLP-1 is semaglutide with vitamin B6. It is a cost effective alternative to commercially available GLP-1s. It is clinically proven to reduce cravings, increase feelings of fullness, and improve your body's ability to process sugars efficiently. Added B6 helps curve feelings of nausea, which is a major side effect of GLP-1s.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices are primarily used to monitor blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. However, some people may also use CGM devices to aid in weight loss efforts. CGM devices can help people identify which foods cause spikes in their blood sugar levels. By avoiding these trigger foods, individuals can maintain stable blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, and avoid overeating. CGM devices can also help individuals monitor their caloric intake by tracking their blood glucose levels in relation to their food intake. This can help individuals make more informed decisions about what and how much to eat.
Science&Humans does an in depth blood work panel that tests not only for contraindications, but also for hormones that may affect weight gain.
We offer formulated GLP-1 medication at ⅓ of the cost of traditional brand name medications. This helps you focus on your health without breaking the bank.
There is also the option of using CGM monitors which can help identify which foods trigger high blood sugar levels, which can help you avoid these foods.
Science&Humans conducts follow up blood work and consultations every 3 months, making sure the medication is not affecting you negatively and is doing its job.
Side effects vary from person to person, however, generally include nausea, vomiting, constipation and injection site reaction. More serious side effects include hypoglycemia and possible thyroid tumors. That's why Science&Humans ensures you are safe by conducting blood work every 3 months.
Weight loss with GLP-1 medication is about 15% less body fat. Weight loss with a pill option is about 5%.
Filling in our online health assessment is the first step. Once complete, we’ll send you a referral for the Weight Loss blood work panel.
Getting your sample back to us as soon as possible is vital. We can’t schedule your initial virtual consultation with a Science&Humans clinician until the blood work is complete.
Personalized, individual healthcare planOnce your blood results have been analyzed, you’ll have an in-depth video consultation with a licensed Science&Humans clinician.
They’ll spend time getting to know you as an individual, explain your results and what they show, and recommend a personalized treatment plan, specific to your needs.
TreatmentYour personalized medication will ship directly to your door for 3 months through our licensed partner pharmacy. It’s a no-fuss, all-around approach to your healthcare.
Quarterly follow-upsWe’ll conduct follow up appointments every 3 months during your treatment. This system ensures continued, relevant care, tailored specifically to keep your medication working hard for you.
Generally speaking, no, prescription Weight Loss treatment is usually not covered by your insurance. Check with your provider if you’re not sure. However, filling out an insurance form can provide you with coverage. Please send any insurance forms to support@scienceandhumans.com
