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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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 an 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 that GLP1 treatments are now within reach, so you can finally achieve the sustainable weight loss results you want.
