Calibrate is a great program that fits into busy modern life. The education, food and goal tracking, and coaching are all delivered via their integrated app and it works really well for the in between moments of life. Their approach is holistic and trains you to make positive healthier choices in several areas of life, beyond diet. Sure, you could figure this out yourself, but there’s a reason you haven’t, and Calibrate has. It just works.

I’ve struggled with weight my whole life. I’ve also had some big successes. This has been long term enough, intrusive enough (but not too much) and has provided me direction in doses small enough to stick to those directions. It doesn’t ever feel overwhelming and if I’m feeling less than positive for even a moment, my coach Christine checks in with me and keeps me focused. I would highly recommend.
Hi Pamela, we are thrilled to hear that you would recommend Calibrate. Thank you for being in it together with us.

Battling with my weight after my second child for 14 years has been a struggle and could only lose 10lbs at most with diet and exercise alone. The medication with Calibrate (although it took quite some time to get) has been a game changer for me to break through the barriers I had before. My coach Amy D has been an incredible part of my journey with the accountability and suggestions offered throughout the process. Accountability has been something I have been lacking all of these years (and my poor husband is not allowed to be that for me when it comes to weight loss LOL).
She has asked questions that offer the opportunity for reflection and drilling down the areas that need more focus each time we meet. I could not do this without her support and her genuine kindness and encouragement to see me succeed. I am down 15% and excited about the lifestyle changes made and what's to come over the next few months. (*Insert celebratory dance)!!

My full experience has been up and down with issues getting medications refilled on time but my experience with coach Shannon has kept me positive. Her experience and guidance has helped me navigate the process but also prepared me for all that Calibrate has to positively offer.

I have attempted to address my weight problem all of my life. Being such, I have spent thousands of dollars losing and gaining weight over and over again. I have interacted with a countless number of weight loss professionals, experts, coaches, and counselors over the decades. Some have been supportive and others, not so much.
But with Kamie, my experience has been remarkably refreshing. What makes Kamie such an awesome coach is she is knowledgeable, competent, realistic and 1000% supportive. Whether I’m doing great or poorly, I feel no pressure, I don’t feel judged when speaking with Kamie. I always feel that Kamie is focused on what will work best for me and that she understands my struggles. Having a coach with these attributes is very encouraging and helps me to not lose sight of my goals and gives me that extra nudge to want to continue on my journey to lose a massive amount of weight.
I have over 200 lbs to lose, so I will be a long term client of the Calibrate program. Because of this, I feel very fortunate to have Kamie as my coach. With her continued support, I know I’ll be able to be successful. Thank you again for allowing me to hit the jackpot and have Kamie as my weight loss coach. Kamie is truly the best!

Updated on 11/15/2022: I started out very pleased. Things were going well. But when it came time for my 2nd Ozempic pen, there were insurance issues. I waited almost a week for a resolve from the support channel. Finally had a phone number provided to reach out to support. We transferred the rx from PillPack to a local pharmacy. The pharmacy needed additional info, but couldn't get the medical team to respond. I am losing weight and getting my labs heading in the right direction. I just wish support was more responsive. It's taken more than 3 weeks on this issue (it's still not resolved) and I've missed a weekly dose of my med.
Original Review: Calibrate has been amazing! They've worked with my insurance to make sure my meds were covered. The doctor spent 45 minutes on my first call and really focused on my health history and determining if this was right for me. I've lost 12 pounds in my first month on the meds. The coaching sessions are great for keeping me on track.

When I started Calibrate I wasn't sure what to expect, but it really did change my life. It taught me to be more mindful of my decisions and to give myself grace when things didn't go as planned. Being held accountable, but also having someone to talk through the struggles and celebrate successes with was amazing. The medicine did help, but the tools I learned along the way were really the key to having lost almost 30lbs in less than a year. Thank you Calibrate!

I love the program and have been very successful in following it. It is broken down in such a way that it is very easy to understand with very achievable goals. I love that it focuses on my overall health and well being, not simply weight loss. Specifically, I find the food pyramids, the daily tracking, and the bi-weekly coaching sessions invaluable. The pyramids are easy to follow and something I can use for life. Tracking on a daily basis is simple and keeps me focused. My Coach, Hannah, is amazing. I look forward to seeing her, which is not something I have enjoyed with other programs. She is ALWAYS positive, helpful and never makes me feel as though I am not progressing. I feel her mentoring is the one of the principal reasons I have been successful. I would highly recommend Calibrate to anyone interested in a lifestyle checkup and weight loss.

It is not just about the medication that is provided. It does help. More importantly the coaching, the accountability, the lessons, the life style change, learning to eat correctly and the right foods is what made the difference. I went from 226 lbs to currently at 175 lbs and only 35 lbs to go to reach MY goal. I started in March. I lost the first 10% without medication. Got a boost when GLP-1 was finally made affordable for me. It has not been an easy road. Nothing ever is.
My coach has been awesome. The lessons given have been so helpful and insightful. I tell everyone how I am losing weight. It is very noticeable. My energy is back, I do not get bloated and icky as I used to. I actually sleep! I do not over eat anymore and am super mindful of what I do eat. I do not just eat to cope, I eat to live. No more sugary foods or processed foods! I actually read labels and am super mindful of what I put into my body. This works!! So happy I found this program and ecstatic of the weight lost within the last 8 months! I can't wait to see when I reach my goal and maintain from there on. This program works and teaches you to be more conscious about food and what you eat. IT WORKS!!!! Super happy :).

I started Calibrate in March to improve my health. My health in just a short period has drastically improved. I have lost 14% of my weight but also have modified my eating habits in a way that is natural and not restricted. My recent tracking was about energy boosters and drains. I came to the realization that I thought that by changing my attitude I was changing my energy levels. My revelation was that I was still holding on to the energy drain and carrying it around to the point I was feeling tired. I felt better once I learned to let go of what drained my energy. I learned new ways to let go and take control of how to boost my energy. Best life lesson ever.

Some initial growing pains that have more to do with current state of telemedicine law but the coaching really works. The program was very helpful. It’s given me a number of tools for success moving forward. My a1c went from 6.8 when I started to 5.2. My only complaints were the medical team was a little unresponsive from time to time and initially the medical director was a little too dismissive of some of my initial questions but once I was aligned with my coach things smoothed out considerably and the program was fantastic. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is busy and who is trying to make behavioral changes to their diet and health mindset. You get out what you put in, I’m afraid.

Avoid at all costs. This whole thing reeks of a scam at this point as they know they're dealing with a vulnerable population and are pushing to sign you up with all sorts of false promises, only to just ignore you for the following time you're locked into the program - it really just seems like a cash grab. Haven't lost weight on the program, customer service is non-existent, can't secure medications, when they decide to prescribe something they'll send off for the wrong medications, coaching is poor, no medical followups, food plan is ok but not amazing. Overall a gigantic waste of time and money and a large source of stress. Oh and the CEO emails about how "they're trying to improve" and "understand our frustration" is the icing on top as they actively try and recruit more people to join the program that's already completely overwhelmed. It seems like they're constantly losing coaches and medical staff, so there's no consistency there either.

I think through all of this I have felt empowered with myself. The classes have taught me not to be so hard on myself. And it is okay to eat. And to eat not only things that is good for me but it is okay when I eat something that I feel is bad for me. Because not everything is bad if it is in moderation. It has taught me not to punish myself. The classes has taught me about sleep, and stress, and mindful eating and why we eat when we do. You can't be on this life long weight Rollercoaster without learning a few things. And learning you have to make small changes in your life not just in your diet. It is not coming off fast and I'm okay with that. But it is coming off. Also talking to someone who is encouraging has been wonderful. My coach never scolds me. Coach Madison guides me.

My only complaint is that it took almost half the program for me to get started on Mounjaro. The only reason I initially started the program was to get on this type of medication.

Calibrate has lived up to every promise they made. They obtained weight loss medication for me for $25 per month. The medication can be hard to get and it is very expensive.

I stopped the medication for 2 months for surgery — I was sure I would gain 10 lbs — but I did not gain a pound. The diet coaches are extremely helpful. The medical staff is responsive.

I tried the Calibrate program after 15 years of putting on 5 to 10 pounds per year and never being able to lose and keep off weight. While I was an athletic person, in my early 40s I started putting on weight and it seemed no matter how much I cut my calories or exercised I was unable to lose weight. This program has taught me how to eat for health, but also how sleep, stress, and the types of food I eat affects both my weight and my health. I was concerned going into the program with the cost thinking if this was yet another failed program I would’ve wasted a large sum of money, however because our healthcare cost and deductibles are tied to certain health factors I’ve already saved more this year in insurance and health cost than I paid for the program. I’m down over 35 pounds in five months and more importantly I’ve learned how to deal with stress in a manner other than eating. Really excited to see what’s to come in the next 5 to 6 months.

My coach, Darlene, was brilliant! She showed me the bad patterns that were standing in my way of success. She focused me on small things that I could change that would make a big difference. She helped me change the way I thought about food. She taught me it’s not all or nothing - you need to calibrate for success. And, she helped me stop beating myself up about what I ate, which would send me in a negative spiral. Most importantly, she helped me create a new lifestyle that isn’t an uphill battle. She did it all with a smile, kind words, and the understanding of someone who knows the journey. She knew how it would evolve for me, after seeing it in so many others, and she served as my guide in the process. I am so grateful to Darlene and Calibrate for changing my life so profoundly. It has given me the gift of health and longevity, but, even more importantly, the healthiest relationship with my body that I’ve ever had!

I wish at some point in my life, I’d have been introduced to the carb to fiber ratio. All of the food plans and diets I have done in my 53 years of living have included reduction of food, limitation of specific foods, or macros, medications, extreme exercise. None of these things are required for success, if you can simply limit the unnatural foods in your diet and increase your fiber intake. These are all things we already know, but somehow we want to have our cake and eat it too… So to speak. The truth is, your body doesn’t want cake, and it isn’t a treat, but, sometimes at a wedding or birthday you should be allowed to have just a few bites and not feel shame and guilt about it. I really can’t recommend this program enough and it’s a plan I can follow long-term.

I was super excited about the Calibrate program. I did my bloodwork and went through the approval process with my insurance. I met with the program doctor and coach and was inspired. They both told me that the key to the program is the GLP1 medication. After two months, I am now told by Amazon pill pack that all GLP medicines listed for me are on back order until the end of the year and maybe longer. This means paying for 5 months with no medicine. I reached out to calibrate medical multiple times over the past month and cannot get a response other than to call Amazon.
Amazon tells me they need a medical professional to approve a substitute medicine but Calibrate ignores me and does not respond. What am I paying $1650 for if I can’t get the “key to the program”. Communication is bad and if medicine is on back order then they should not take people's money. Since no one responds, I am sure getting a refund is going to be even more difficult. Don’t sign up until GLP1 medications are available or calibrate learns how to respond. Be careful and DO NOT pay in full. You might be in limbo for months like me.

The lessons are mostly the same as you learn on any other weight loss app. What sets Calibrate apart is clearly the medication aspect. Even though we ran into several issues at various points with calling in the script and insurance things, eventually it was resolved (but not by Calibrate). The other thing that’s helpful are the coaching sessions. I love my coach, Kami. She helps me refocus and set goals when I’m struggling and knowing I will be talking to her every 2 weeks helps keeps me accountable.
The weakest aspect of Calibrate is the app. Absolutely infuriating. Not very user-friendly. And WHY not have a phone app that matches the online platform? Not all of us love being on our phone all the time. Even right now… I’m having to fill out this review on my phone because the agenda is not available online. WHY? The other weak spot is the response time when there’s an issue. I went months without medication because I couldn’t get a response from Calibrate. I eventually just went to my own GP and had her take over prescribing because at least I can reach my doctor when there’s a problem. That being said, I credit Calibrate for introducing me to the concepts of GLP1’s. And I also like the different triangles for different levels of the journey. That being said, I’ve lost 70 lbs (I started at 300) and I credit that mostly to the meds and Coach Kami. I have a long way to go but I’m hopeful and grateful.

I joined Calibrate at the suggestion of a friend who was about 3 months into the Calibrate program. I’d been trying to lose approx 12% of my body weight for almost 5 years but would lose and regain the weight. My BMI was over 30, so technically I was obese and I was very uncomfortable in the actual physical sense. I have been on Calibrate for about 7 months and have lost 9% of my body weight using the behavioral techniques acquired and with the assistance of the physician prescribed medications. (While I’ve had some of the most common side effects of the medications, I considered these mild and not unmanageable).
What I appreciate about Calibrate is that it uses a series of small actions to build success (so, weight lose) and includes behavior lessons that address all aspects of life - stress, sleep, busy lifestyle, exercise and activity, and of course diet factors. They use updated nutrition and health science to back up the lessons, and suggest actions and meal plans that help achieve the little goals.
My coach and I really “click”, and she has helped me to anticipate and manage changes in diet, medication or lifestyle choices. The app helps bring into focus actual daily “performance” on things that matter to health, like how much sleep and activity I’m getting, and how those effect my energy (for example). I like that Calibrate asks for participant commitment to the lessons and coaching sessions because it made me set aside time at the outset to make sure I could meet the obligation. The Calibrate experience had been incredibly positive for me, liberating me from the weight and returning a feeling of control over what and how much I consume.

I decided to sign up with Calibrate because I wanted a holistic weight management program - nutrition, medical oversight, prescription management, and one-on-one support. I was wary of paying $1,649 up front but I decided I was investing in myself - by paying it all, I would hold myself accountable and not bag out on a monthly program. When the program proved to be absolutely awful, I understood why they charge upfront - if it was a monthly subscription, no one would pay for it.
The Nutrition portion of the program is a folder of materials mailed to you upon sign-up. They have "food triangles" and depending on the stage of the program you are in, you follow the triangle. Unfortunately, it's not as clear-cut as it sounds - evidenced by the sheer volume of questions in the peer-run Facebook support groups. "Is this food green?" Well, on this triangle it's green, on this triangle it's yellow-green, on this triangle it's orange, unless it has this ingredient which makes it red. You need an advanced degree to follow all of the if/then caveats for each food. There is no orientation for new members, there is no webinar to watch, and there is no interactive way to confirm where a particular food falls on any given triangle. Think Weight Watchers and their barcode scan capability - you should be able to plug in a food and a stage and get a color.
Medical oversight is laughable. Before you start, they order labs for you. Once you get the results, you meet with a doctor to discuss them. That doctor sends you back to your PCP for EVERYTHING other than attempting to get a prescription filled for a GLP-1 medication. It's a 30-minute call which isn't nearly enough time to go through everything. If you have any follow-up or subsequent questions on anything medical, you have to post a message in one of their two support channels. You can also ONLY do this through the app on your mobile device - that functionality is NOT available on the web browser. It's absurd to treat medical questions the same way you would a tweet. Additionally, it takes them anywhere from 2 to 4 days to respond to your questions. If my doctor took 2 to 4 days to respond to a medical question, I'd find a new doctor. Additionally, they will not order new labs until you reach the end of your one year program.
Upon reviewing my labs, I was prescribed ** (pill form) and told they would attempt a pre-authorization for **. After 5 weeks, I learned (before Calibrate told me) that I was denied for ** for multiple reasons - reasons which Calibrate should have been aware of given that this GLP-1 med thing is the crux of their whole deal. I then get told they are going to prescribe me ** - a medication I have never heard of that was never discussed in the call with my doctor and that relies on a manufacturer's coupon to be affordable. Yeah, no - I want to talk to someone about this.
I kept posting in the medical support channel and kept getting pushback until they finally caved and scheduled a follow-up call. During that call, the doctor discussed the reasons for ** being denied (duh) and the efficacy of **. I decided to do some research and think about it. Not a day later, I get a message telling me I was approved for ** - a medication we had NEVER discussed. I mean seriously?! I ultimately decided to go with **. I had my first doc appointment on 8/12; I took my first shot on 9/27; today is 10/12.
Now ** is supposed to be an increasing dose month over month. However, each month, you have to contact Medical through the app so they can contact your pharmacy to delivery the next month. Again - 2 to 4 days for a response. And if something doesn't go according to plan, you could be without your med for weeks. .
The one-on-one support is in the form of 15-minute bi-weekly “coaching” sessions. I had three sessions, and while my coach was a nice girl, she did nothing for me from a “coaching” or support standpoint. The last straw for me came when I requested a coaching change, waited for a response, then got ghosted. I then get told my message “slipped through the cracks”. I’m sorry? What else am I paying for here? My annual fee works out to nearly $65 for each 15-minute session and my messages fall through the cracks. That’s awesome. .
The app is terrible. The website interface is terrible. The two have completely different functionality. The communication and response times are abysmal. If you post in the ”wrong” support channel - meaning it should go in General Support, not Medical Support, or vice versa - you are told to post in the correct channel, where you go back to the bottom of the queue for a response.
All in all, this proved to be a totally DIY program. There was no accountability at all for me beyond what I did for myself. I specifically picked this program because I didn’t want to be a slave to tracking. It was the complete opposite of what I was looking for - weigh yourself daily, track your water, track your sleep, track your red foods, track your mood. My mood? Not very happy.
Calibrate’s refund policy is very strict, mainly because they know they won’t deliver on their promises and want to attempt to ensure they can keep your money. When I approached them with my extreme dissatisfaction and wish to cancel for a pro-rated refund, I was told no. I asked for it to be escalated; I was asked to have a phone call with someone first. I did, and I again requested it be escalated. There were - again - two to four days between interactions, whether by phone or by written message. I was very clear that if I didn’t receive a pro-rated refund ($1,166.67 - I deducted the lab fees and the equivalent of two months of the program, which I believe was VERY fair) I would dispute the entire charge with my credit card provider. After four days I didn’t have a response, so the chargeback was initiated yesterday. I have screenshots and emails for everything. .
I paid $1,649 for some glossy paper, a scale ($60 value - I looked it up), and a broken tape measure - and yes, I submitted a message about that and never got a reply. My PCP (who is awesome and was prepared to work with me on everything before I joined this sham program) has taken over everything. I will do it myself. I am following my own nutrition program and built my own exercise program - no small tasks, with current physical injuries. I lost 9 pounds on my own before my first shot and I've lost 7 pounds since my first shot. Don't do it. Contact your PCP and work with them. You will be so much better off.

I’m a 5’2”, 45 years young active wife, mother of 2 whom also works full time. I was a college soccer player and have also completed 4 70.3 triathlons. The past 5 years my weight has gradually been increasing, while I have also been changing my diet, exercising with no results. When I read about the weight loss success of GLP-1 and 2 friends who also had success on GLP-1 I sought out a knowledgeable doctor. My primary care physician is very conservative so I didn’t think he would prescribe a GLP-1 for me. My BMI was 30.5 and I also had elevated cholesterol levels.
After I signed up for Calibrate and had my zoom call with a physician, I was started on ** and **. I was titrated up to the maximum dose spending four weeks at each dose. (5months) I had very little side effect from GLP-1, except very little appetite. I was switched to ** at month 5 due to ** availability. I am starting my second month and titrating up as prescribed on **. I have lost just over 30lbs!! I went to my primary care physician for my annual follow up and he asked how I have lost the weight and told him I went through calibrate and am on a GLP-1. He was impressed and said he is learning more about them for weight loss.
As for the Calibrate program: my zoom call with the doctor I felt I connected with her and that she really listened to me. Then I meet my Coach Katelyn whom I zoom with every 2 weeks to go trough the education modules. Katelyn and I have really connected and I feel she is truly my accountability partner. Back in the summer of 2022 with ** shortages it was a little frustrating trying to get a reply from a physician/medical team but when I sent a message to Katelyn I had a response quickly. I know the summer Calibrate had some growing pains but fortunately they were able to resolve the issues quickly. So far I am very satisfied with my results from Calibrate and the staff- I wish they had a phone number to call which could enhance customer service. Can’t wait to hit my goal weight.

Just a heads up, I just signed up for the service and my credit card was charged on September 26.

Six months ago I was at my wits' end. After almost a decade of steady weight gain, I had reached an all-time high. That was bad enough on its own, but at 48 years old and with a few health risk factors, I knew time was no longer on my side to get things back on track. I had to make some changes before I ended up with health consequences that would be much more difficult to overcome.
A little earlier in life I was able to lose weight whenever I set my mind to it. If I cut back a bit, exercised more, or combined the two, I was always able to drop some pounds and keep things in check. However, after several years of working long hours on the road, living off of fast food and, eating too much and often too late for my own good, I began to find that the old standbys didn’t work anymore. The scale was only moving in one direction.
I could feel how much the extra pounds were starting to affect my well-being and ability to function at, both at work and at home. My blood pressure was elevated and suspected that insulin resistance was a big issue. I had seen a few ads for Calibrate online and had even taken a look around the site a couple of times, but after hitting that high weight, I decided that it was time to do more than look. I needed a kickstart to get me moving in the right direction and it looked like just the thing.
What attracted me to Calibrate was the multi-faceted approach. I’ve tried typical diet and lifestyle changes with little to no success in recent years, but Calibrate combined lab work, meeting with a doctor, and prescription medication to help get my blood sugar back in line with a diet approach that didn’t require a riding system of counting calories or points. I wasn’t sure about the necessity of having a coach going in, but I was game to try that, as well.
While I liked the way Calibrate was set up, I was a little skeptical of how I would do when I first got the packet with all of the literature and looked over the food triangles. It seemed like that level of dietary change would be overwhelming. However, while waiting to get my labs scheduled, I slowly started taking the advice in the literature. I began paying more attention to labels on the food I typically eat and replacing some of them that I found were loaded with empty carbs, preservatives and synthetic sweeteners. The more I eased into this new way of looking at food, the easier I found it was for me to follow.
I think that slow and steady approach is one of the best aspects of Calibrate and what has made it work for me. The medications were introduced in stages. The changes have come gradually over weeks and months. I found that the different steps of altering my diet, improving my sleep, working on stress levels and exercising more all built on each other in a way that felt natural and lead to success.
It turned out that having a coach was a bigger part of that process than I expected. Even though I wasn’t sure about having a coach before getting starting, working with Alyssa has definitely changed my mind. She’s been a positive and reassuring guide through the Calibrate program. She has answered all my questions and helped to keep me on track with lots of encouragement. It’s good to have that accountability, especially when there’s such a positive focus to it.
I’ve now reached the six month mark of my Calibrate journey and I feel better than I have in a long time. I’ve lost almost 60 pounds, which is honestly a lot more than I expected going into this. I have more energy at work and at home. More importantly, my blood sugar seems to be sorted out and my blood pressure has returned to normal levels that I haven’t seen in over a decade. As good as the weight loss feels, these positive impacts on my overall health are what have me singing this program’s praises.
One of the aspects I most appreciate about Calibrate at this point is that it feels sustainable. The changes that I have made have worked as well or better than advertised and feel like I will be able to continue them going forward to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I’ve done the typical diet and quick-fix thing before and I know what that feels like. Calibrate is something completely different and I’m so glad I found it.

I found Calibrate in a search for medical weight loss. I liked the Calibrate approach of changing your set point, because that makes sense and I’d seen it in my own life; I kept going back to the same weight. My doctor and I reviewed Calibrate and surgery. She considered surgery a good option, while I was reluctant because I am an emotional eater and felt I didn’t have a lot of support; I was afraid I’d be in the 10% that failed it. I really needed a support system! She reviewed the medical information on Calibrate and suggested it. I started the weight loss triangle in mid-March. I have lost 33 lbs, almost 11% of my body weight. My labs are all normal (I was prediabetic and likely had sleep apnea), I sleep better, I have more energy, and I feel like I’m making a sustainable change.
The biggest difference between this and other programs is the medication component, along with the biweekly coaching sessions. My coach, Alyssa, helps me gain insight into the whys and ways to change my thinking. When I slip, she walks me through how to not beat myself up and give up, along with how to think about different ways to handle stress. The medication has helped me change how I look at food. It’s fuel now, not something to lean on when I’m sad or stressed; I notice how food makes me feel, rather than eating without thinking. It is not an exaggeration to say Calibrate gave me my life back!

My coach is fabulous. The biweekly checkins keep me motivated and the Daily goal check on the app keeps me focused. I was a little worried about the medication at the beginning.

I initially joined Calibrate to get access to the injectable weight loss medicine that was making my friends magically thinner. I didn't think much about the Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (ILI) portion of the part and figured I would play along. Unfortunately, my insurance plan will not approve these medications for obesity. I was already several weeks into ILI part of the program when I found out.
Calibrate offered to refund my payment, minus the cost of the physician consult. I was surprised to find that I was willing to pay the price of the program for only the ILI because I was already seeing changes and loving it! I'm now 3 months into the program and with the support of Coach Jamie I've made amazing progress: I've quit drinking sodas and Starbucks frappuccinos, happily drinking 100oz of water instead. I'm aware of how eating fast and feeling the need to "clean my plate" has contributed to overeating. I'm eating healthy and no longer have sugar cravings or afternoon energy drops.
I'm moving more and found motivation to join a gym. I've lost almost 20 pounds in 3 months but more importantly, I've made changes that are sustainable that I am sure this weight will not be coming back at the end of Calibrate. Other pluses include no longer needing glucosamine for arthritis and sleeping better. I honestly had no intention of changing my life at the start but with my coach's support, I'm realizing that I can make tiny changes over time that don't prevent me from living the life I want.

My third refill delayed over a week, to the point that I no longer wanted to use the Calibrate online pharmacy. I asked that my prescription be sent to my local pharmacy. It has not gotten any better. At first I received responses within 48 hours. Now I go more than a week without any response. This plan is based on support and medication.

Last week, I received a letter from the founder and president of Calibrate explaining that the company was “reorganizing”. She offered a free month of calibrate support for free. Enough already. Go to your primary care doctor and ask for the medication. It’s approved by the FDA for weight loss. Pay the $25 copay and cut out the middle person. I would like all of my money back, but I’d settle for the remainder that I owe. Great concept, but abysmal follow through.

There are good components of this program like the reading materials and the coaches but the doctors DO NOT LISTEN and are only out to collect the money each month.
Hi Ira. We're so sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience and understand your frustration. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the delay. A member of our Support Team has reached out to confirm your refund has been initiated.
Calibrate doctors prescribe a variety of GLP-1s, including semaglutide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide. These GLP-1s are often referred to by their brand name, so you may have heard of these FDA-approved medications as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, or Saxenda®, to name a few. Regardless of which GLP-1 medication your Calibrate doctor prescribes, we are confident that you will be able to achieve at least 10% sustained weight loss on the One-Year Metabolic Reset. While medication is an important aspect of our program, the habit changes you will make across Calibrate’s Four Pillars of Metabolic Health––food, sleep, exercise, and emotional health––will help ensure long-term metabolic health.

Over the years, I have struggled with my weight and have tried all the big programs like Weight Watchers, Atkins, Body for Life, Keto, Intermittent Fasting and nothing moved the dial like Calibrate. Once I was past menopause, there was no amount of exercise or extreme calorie reduction that would budge my weight at all. The difference with Calibrate is how all-encompassing this program is across all facets of your life.
With the support of the GLP-1 drugs to help with appetite reduction, you will learn truly healthful eating, the importance of hydration and sleep (game changer!), exercise as it relates to metabolism and emotional health tactics to create a brand new metabolic set point all with your own coach. I have lost 30% of my body weight and haven't been this size since high school. I have energy, my food habits have completely changed and so many of my health metrics have improved. If you are thinking about it, take the next step and join. You have to do the work but the support is there and a whole community of folks are here to help via Facebook too!
Thank you for sharing, Cristina. We're so grateful to have you as part of the Calibrate community.

I have struggled with my weight my entire life, and have lost/regained 50+ pounds several times prior to Calibrate. I can lose weight with white-knuckled will-power, but have never been able to keep it off. I've learned that rigid weight loss programs are ultimately unsustainable. In July 2021, I was at my highest weight ever and felt utterly hopeless. I had come to the conclusion that I was ultimately a failure, and that staying at nearly 300lbs was healthier than yo-yo-dieting. Then I came across an ad for Calibrate on social, and although I was highly skeptical I decided to at least read about it.
I was initially drawn to the fact that the program is grounded in real, legitimate, scientific research, and treats Obesity like a medical condition, not a personal failure. I also liked that the panel of experts who inform the program are real medical professionals with expertise in the treatment of Obesity - not "lifestyle influencers" selling books or supplements. The year long program, which is built around 4 pillars of metabolic health - nutrition, exercise, sleep and emotional health - resonated with me, and aligned with my own experience. I'd learned through my own efforts that focusing just on food or exercise is not enough to achieve lasting weight loss. Add in the Physician guided medical treatment and the bi-weekly coaching, and Calibrate seemed like a thoughtfully designed program that covered all the bases. I decided to give it a shot.
I liked that my first step was to review my bloodwork with a Physician. She spent nearly an hour listening to my history, educating me on the health risks I was facing, and answering questions about the medication I would be taking. She was both compassionate and straightforward. It was a huge wake-up call, and hard to hear, but exactly what I needed.
I am now 8 months into the program, and have lost 80lbs, or 28% of my starting body weight. My labs and blood pressure have all returned to "normal" ranges. I feel better than I ever have in my entire life. Unlike all of those times I'd lost weight before, I don't feel like I'm "dieting." I have gradually, with the help of my coach, incorporated small changes which have added up to become a completely different lifestyle that still feels effortless to maintain. For the first time ever, I have a healthy, balanced relationship with food and exercise. I am ridiculously active, and feel like a whole new world has been opened up to me.
I have found a safe and supportive community within Calibrate, where I can be truly honest about my struggles and celebrate my successes. When my 1-year is complete, I plan on enrolling in their Graduate program to maintain my weight loss, stay connected to my coach for accountability, and remain focused on my long-term goals. Calibrate has quite literally given me my life back, and I am forever grateful.
Hi Anna, we are so happy to hear you've had success with our program and found a safe and supportive community within Calibrate.

When I decided traditional diet programs weren't working for me and I had had enough of being unhealthy and unhappy I decided to join Calibrate! This set me on an amazing 1 year journey where I learned how to eat, not diet. I learned how important emotional health, sleep and hydration were to success! Through thorough medical appointments, use of appropriate FDA approved medications and coaching support along with the connections I made through social media and on Facebook I was able to have success unlike any other program I have tried! Calibrate taught me how to fuel my body and my mind and made me realize how important self care, meditation and medication is! I highly recommend Calibrate to anyone who is looking for that jumpstart to a new, healthier, best version of you!
Hi Dara, thank you for sharing your positive experience with Calibrate. We are happy to hear that our program and focusing on our four pillars (food, sleep, exercise, and emotional health) has set you up for success!

I saw an ad for Calibrate on my Facebook feed. The eating plan and the pillars made sense to me. I decided to try it out for a year. I had tried every program there was, and I had lost weight before but always gained it back and never maintained it. I joined in December 2020. The app was straightforward. I met with the medical team and then met with my coach. The pillars are simple to follow, and the eating plan was not restrictive. I had lost 13% of my body weight in the first three months, exceeding the 10% goal.
My coach, Melanie, was terrific. She walked me through the challenging times and cheered me on when I was successful. I have been maintaining my weight for over eight months. My energy is better than it has ever been. My primary care doctor is incredibly pleased with my lab numbers, and I now have normal blood pressure. This program works and is easy to sustain in the long term. This program is not a quick fix but a long-term solution for your health. I highly recommend Calibrate!!
Hi Sandra, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Calibrate and deciding to give our program a try! We are delighted to hear about your success and agree Coach Melanie is terrific!

I have had a great first year on Calibrate! I have lost 15% of my bodyweight, and I have never felt so good. I feel that the medication, biweekly lessons and one on one meetings with my coach have been essential to my success. The lessons and program slowly changed small habits that have really added up. I feel that I was totally in control and was supported by Calibrate the entire way. I have been able to go on vacation, go to weddings, parties, etc. and I have not felt restricted. I was even able to lose weight on vacation because I had to tools and knowledge to make the best choices possible. There is no counting calories or points, and no pre-made, artificial food. I love that the program focuses on clean eating. That is something that is not just going to help with weight loss, but overall health as well. I am looking forward to year 2, and continuing my journey.
Hi Gina, We are delighted to hear you've found the combination of our program to be successful and decided to continue with us for Year 2. We are grateful to have you as part of our community.
