Factor breakdown
Each of the six graded dimensions. See the methodology.
Strengths

- Clinically monitored medication off-ramp toward nutrition therapy
- Nutrition-first model shown to rival GLP-1 weight loss (about 13% at 1 year)

- Strong evidence base for diabetes reversal and metabolic health
Where it loses points
- Primarily a nutrition program; GLP-1s are a secondary track
- Distributed via employers and health plans, no direct cash-pay
- Deliberately discourages GLP-1 use for most members
- GLP-1 access depends on the specific program the plan selects
Bottom line — Grade C
Best for: Shoppers who want plan members wanting nutrition-first care with optional monitored GLP-1 use.
