Lose Weight with Expert Care
At DrHouse, we believe effective weight loss starts with medical expertise, not guesswork. Our physicians use evidence-based treatments, including FDA-approved prescription medications, to help patients achieve sustainable results.
Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, backed by clinical insight, and delivered through private, convenient telehealth visits.
If you’ve struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, or you’re looking for a medically guided reset, our doctors are here to help you take control of your health, improve your well-being, and see real, measurable progress.
A Smarter Way to Lose Weight
Through our telehealth platform, DrHouse brings expert medical care directly to your phone. Our weight loss program is designed for adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or those who are overweight (BMI ≥27) with a weight-related health condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea.
With DrHouse, you don’t need to wait months for a specialist appointment or navigate complicated in-person programs. You get access to licensed doctors, weight loss consultations, lab testing referrals, and fast medication delivery (available in select areas)—all from the comfort and privacy of home.
Why Choose DrHouse for Medical Weight Loss?
- Professional medical care: Every consultation is conducted by a licensed, board-certified physician who evaluates your health history, weight-related concerns, and overall eligibility for GLP-1 medications, following established clinical guidelines.
- Prescription options when appropriate: Our physicians can prescribe a range of FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, such as Zepbound, Wegovy, or Ozempic (and more), for eligible patients who meet clinical guidelines.

If prescribed, your medication can be delivered directly to your door, picked up from your preferred pharmacy, or, in select areas, delivered in under an hour through our on-demand prescription delivery service. All options are designed to be fast, secure, and discreet.
Prescription Weight Loss Medications
The physicians at DrHouse can prescribe several GLP-1 receptor agonists that are FDA-approved for chronic weight management. These medications work by mimicking gut hormones that reduce appetite, improve blood sugar regulation, and support long-term fat loss.
Each medication is selected based on your health profile, treatment goals, and how well your body responds during follow-up care.
Zepbound (tirzepatide)
- Weekly injectable
- Dual-agonist targeting GIP and GLP-1 receptors
- Shown to reduce body weight by an average of 20.9% (approx. 48 lbs) in the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial
- Especially effective for individuals with obesity or metabolic health conditions
Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
- Weekly injectable
- Same active ingredient as Zepbound, with broad clinical use in both diabetes and weight loss
- In SURPASS trials, patients with type 2 diabetes lost up to 22.5 lbs over 40 weeks
- Often used for individuals needing improved glycemic control alongside weight loss
Wegovy (semaglutide)
- Weekly injectable
- Targets GLP-1 receptors to curb hunger and increase feelings of fullness
- Participants in STEP trials lost up to 15% of body weight over 68 weeks
- Well-suited for patients focused on appetite management and gradual, sustained loss
Ozempic (semaglutide)
- Weekly injectable
- Originally developed for type 2 diabetes but frequently prescribed off-label for weight loss
- Associated with 13.5 lbs average weight loss in patients with diabetes over 40 weeks
Rybelsus (semaglutide oral tablet)
- Daily oral tablet
- First and only oral GLP-1 medication available
- In PIONEER trials, patients lost 6.8–9.7 lbs on average, depending on dose and duration
- A good option for individuals who prefer pills over injections
Physicians at DrHouse may also prescribe or recommend other medications, referrals, or alternatives based on your unique health profile, lab results, medication history, and how well you respond to treatment. All prescribing decisions are made on a case-by-case basis during your consultation, with your safety and long-term success as the top priorities.
Personalized treatment plans
At DrHouse, we believe that each person’s weight loss journey is unique. During your initial consultation, our medical team will conduct a thorough review of your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals.
Based on these insights, we create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include:
- Dietary and physical activity guidance: Personalized recommendations to support sustainable weight loss alongside Zepbound.
- Regular check-ins: Follow-up appointments to track progress, adjust treatment as needed, and address any questions or challenges.
- Continued support: Ongoing encouragement and guidance to help maintain motivation and accountability throughout your journey.
Who’s Eligible for Prescription Weight Loss Medication?
Prescription weight loss medications can be life-changing tools—but they’re not for everyone. At DrHouse, our licensed physicians evaluate each patient individually to determine whether GLP-1 medications are appropriate and safe.
You may be eligible for a prescription if you meet one or more of the following:
- Body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (classified as obese)

-

- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Sleep apnea
- Cardiovascular disease
- Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Using reliable contraception (if of childbearing potential)
- No untreated or unstable mental health conditions that could be impacted by weight loss medication
- Willing to complete lab testing (to ensure medications are prescribed safely)
- Committed to lifestyle changes including healthy eating, physical activity, and consistent follow-up care
All decisions are made during your virtual consultation based on a comprehensive review of your health history, goals, and lab results.
