Ready to start your weight loss journey, but scared to step on the scale? You’re probably not alone.
We’re already a few years into the rising popularity of GLP-1 medications, and while these weight-loss treatments are becoming increasingly common, the ways to access them can still be confusing and, at times, it’s hard to know which programs are legit.
According to Gallup, roughly 28 million Americans use GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Thousands of telehealth sites offer popular options such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Ozempic.
However, some programs are working to offer an alternative to one-stop weight-loss medication services. HumeCare+ is one of them. Rather than simply handing over a prescription, HumeCare+ provides patients with a personalized plan and ongoing monitoring through at-home body composition scans and a connected app that offers food logging and medication tracking.
To date, approximately 20,000 Americans have used the program, which has received thousands of positive reviews, with many users saying they feel more confident throughout their weight-loss journeys and appreciate the support they receive from start to finish.
“I was skeptical because there are so many online GLP1-1 clinics now. HumeCare felt much more personalized,” one patient shared. :”The weekly 3D body scans that come with your program helped me understand exactly what was changing in my body instead of guessing.”
HumeCare+ plans start at $179 per month (about $7 a day), and getting started is quite simple.

With HumeCare+, it’s much more than a prescription — it’s an entire protocol.
New patients complete a brief assessment, where they’re asked about their goals and health history. From there, a clinician will review your results and help you find the right approach to treatment.
Unlike some other programs that focus solely on the number on the scale, HumeCare+ focuses on body composition to track changes in fat and muscle mass, which helps care providers (and patients) get a more complete picture of their health and progress.
And, beyond the weight loss medication, the company provides key supplements that are meant to help protect muscle and ease some common weight loss medication side effects — that includes Glycine, B12, and B6.
Members can access their care team 24/7, and care doesn’t stop when their treatment ends. The program also includes post-medication guidance to help users understand how to maintain their results — ensuring patients feel confident every step of the way, and beyond.
