Medication

Welcome to Fella Health Medication Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

At Fella Health, medication is often a key part of achieving better health outcomes, especially for those who have struggled with weight loss through lifestyle changes alone. In this section, we address everything you need to know about the medications that may be prescribed as part of your treatment. Youʼll find information on what types of medications are used, how they help with weight management, and what to expect in terms of benefits and potential side effects. This section also dives into the approval process, explaining how our healthcare professionals determine the right medication for you, based on your health status and goals. We want you to feel informed and comfortable with any treatment options available.

Why take medication?

As a man with limited time, you know losing weight involves more than just diet and exercise. The latest scientific research shows obesity is a complex medical issue requiring expertise. That's why our board-certified clinicians prescribe proven GLP-1 medications along with lifestyle changes—one of the most effective approaches proven to help busy men like you lose weight rapidly and keep it off. Rather than struggle through another ineffective, time-consuming program, our convenient medication treatments, tailored for your needs, help you finally achieve sustainable results. Feel confident our clinically proven methods will help you reach your goals so you can thrive in both your career and family life.

What medications will I be prescribed? Are they FDA-approved?

As a busy man, safety is no doubt a top priority for you. Rest assured, our specialist medical team only prescribes approved and safe GLP-1 medications scientifically proven to help men lose weight. These innovative medications curb hunger, allowing you to lose weight sustainably without constant struggles with willpower. During your onboarding, we'll assess your health history and insurance coverage to determine the most effective GLP-1 and dosage to help you achieve your goals quickly and safely. Our experts customize your weight loss plan with your busy lifestyle in mind. Feel confident we've got you covered with the latest science-backed treatments.

Is the medication safe?

Safety is no doubt your top priority. You can feel confident using FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, which have been scientifically proven safe and effective for weight loss in men. GLP-1s help patients lose weight by controlling hunger and regulating hormones. Our specialist medical team takes your unique health history into account and only prescribes medications demonstrated to be safe based on your profile. We also guide you on proper use and provide ongoing medical supervision and support. With convenience built around your busy lifestyle, we make achieving your weight loss goals with proven treatments simple and safe.

How does the medication work?

The clinicians prescribe various weight-loss medications, including GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s), depending on your personal situation. GLP-1s are naturally occurring hormones that send signals to your brain to decrease your appetite, improve your metabolic function, and increase satiety. Research suggests that people who are at a higher weight show a reduction in GLP-1 signaling. The medications that the specialist doctors prescribe work on the same receptors as your natural GLP-1 hormones. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, in 2014 the FDA approved the use of a brand of GLP-1s for tackling obesity in people without type 2 diabetes. The medication prescribed by the specialist doctor isn't a short-term fix. But by safely lowering your set point, the GLP-1 medications available today help you reduce your body weight in combination with lifestyle changes.

Are you sure my medications are covered by my insurance?

As a busy man, we know cost is a key concern. Currently, insurance only regularly covers GLP-1 medications if you have diabetes. That's why at Fella we include all recommended GLP-1 prescriptions in your program cost, guaranteed. No insurance required and no hidden fees. We make it simple to finally access these innovative medications proven to be highly effective for men's weight loss. Our medical team will work to find affordable options that fit your budget. And we're continuously exploring ways to expand insurance coverage for Fella members like you in the future. For now, rest assured we have cost-effective solutions tailored for busy men seeking real results.

Will I pay more for higher doses?

No, the price of our program will remain the same regardless of the specific dose you require. For your convenience, we are very transparent about our pricing—the cost of your plan will not increase if you need a higher dose of the GLP-1 medication. You can count on a consistent, predictable price point no matter the dose level that works best for your needs. Our goal is to provide an affordable, accessible solution to help you reach your health and wellness goals.

What is the Fella GLP-1 Guarantee?

At Fella, we guarantee access to GLP-1 weight loss medications for ambitious professionals like you—at no extra cost beyond your program fees. Once our medical team determines GLP-1s are a safe and effective option for you, we handle the prescriptions and provide ongoing medical oversight. As a busy man focused on your career, we know your time is limited. So we take care of the medication logistics for you, ensuring you can access these innovative medications conveniently. Our guarantee means proven GLP1 treatments are now within reach, so you can finally achieve the sustainable weight loss results you want.
