Why GLP-1 care
Medicine that may change what's possible.
In large clinical trials, many people taking GLP-1 medicines alongside diet and activity changes lost far more weight than with lifestyle changes alone. Results vary from person to person.
About 15 percent
average body-weight loss with semaglutide 2.4 mg over 68 weeks in the STEP 1 trial1
Up to about 21 percent
average loss at the highest tirzepatide dose over 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-12

Six
islands served by telehealth, from Kauaʻi to Hawaiʻi Island
1 STEP 1 trial, New England Journal of Medicine, 2021. 2 SURMOUNT-1 trial, New England Journal of Medicine, 2022. Trial participants had obesity or overweight with a related condition and also followed a reduced-calorie diet and activity plan. Average results, not a promise: individual results vary, and not everyone qualifies for or responds to these medicines.
This isn't another diet. It's real medicine, a coach who knows your name, and a plan built around your island life.
How it works
Three steps from curious to cared for.
Get your personal plan
If you qualify, your clinician orders any labs you need and writes a plan. Medication ships from a licensed pharmacy to your door.
Start, with backup
Regular check-ins, dose adjustments, and a coach on message for the everyday questions: meals, side effects, motivation, travel.
Programs
Care that fits where you are.
Every program starts with a licensed clinician and includes coaching. Choose what fits your goals; you can change as you go.
Semaglutide program
A once-weekly GLP-1 injection that helps quiet hunger and food noise.

- Side-effect support
Tirzepatide program
A once-weekly dual GIP and GLP-1 medicine for people who qualify.
- Clinician-led titration
- Labs review included
Active coaching
A coach on message for meals, movement, sleep and the hard days.

- Protein and hydration tracking
Injectable wellness
B12, NAD+, glutathione and more, when your clinician says they fit.
- Ask at your consultation
- Ordered after a clinician review

Check your eligibility
Could a GLP-1 program be right for you?
GLP-1 medicines are usually considered at a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition. Try the calculator; it runs on your device and sends nothing.

BMI is a screening number, not a diagnosis. It doesn't account for muscle, age or ethnicity, which is why a clinician looks at the whole picture.

What changes
Same you. Very different support.
Going it alone
- Constant food noise and willpower that runs out by evening
- Diet plans that ignore your schedule, your culture and your family table
- Nobody to ask when the scale stalls or you feel off
- Flying or driving to a clinic for every appointment
- Starting over every January
With your care team
- A medicine that may help quiet hunger, so good choices take less effort
- A plan built around poke bowls, potlucks, night shifts and real life
- A coach on message and a clinician who adjusts your plan with you
- Visits by video or phone from home, work or the beach parking lot
- Habits built to last beyond the program
Injectable wellness
Extra support, when your clinician says it fits.
Optional add-ons ordered with your plan after a clinician review. Evidence for some is still emerging; we'll be straight with you about what each can and can't do.
