Can WheelHouse Health Help With Weight Management Through Telehealth?
Personal, judgment-free weight care: lab work, a realistic plan, medication when it fits and regular check-ins from home.
How we start
- A 45-minute first visit to understand your history, habits, medicines and goals.
- Labs to check blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid and other factors.
- A personal plan for eating, movement, sleep and stress.
- A decision together about whether medicine fits.
What the plan includes
- Nutrition: realistic changes, protein at each meal, fewer sugary drinks and ultra-processed foods.
- Activity: building up to 150 minutes a week plus strength training.
- Sleep and stress: both affect appetite and weight.
- Medicines: GLP-1 medicines and others when appropriate (see GLP-1 questions).
- Follow-up: regular check-ins to adjust.
Realistic expectations
A healthy pace is about 1 to 2 pounds a week. Plateaus are normal. Health improvements, such as lower blood pressure and blood sugar, often start before you reach your goal weight. Try our BMI and waist calculator to see where you are starting.
How we can help
Our weight management program is personal, judgment-free and evidence-based, with labs at discounted cash prices and messaging between visits for members.
Questions people ask
Do I need to see someone in person?
Most visits are by video. We may ask you to come in for measurements or an exam.
Can you prescribe weight-loss medicine by telehealth?
Yes, when it is appropriate and safe, after a full assessment.
How much weight should I aim to lose?
Even 5% to 10% brings meaningful health benefits. We set goals together.
