Calibrate review
From $199 a month with 1:1 video coaching, sold heavily through employers — and quoting results over three years rather than one.
Overview
Calibrate prices “starting at $199/month” for a programme combining “clinician prescribed GLP-1 medication, 1:1 video coaching, and science backed reading lessons.” Coaching is the differentiator rather than the prescription.
Its headline claim is unusual in framing: “members lose 20% achieved over 3 years.” Nearly every other figure in this market is quoted at 68 or 72 weeks. A three-year horizon is a more honest timescale for a chronic condition, and also makes the number harder to compare against trial endpoints.
Distribution leans on employers — “employers cover Calibrate” for eligible staff. Whether individual insurance applies is not stated, and neither are the medication brands, compounding status, programme length, labs or cancellation terms.

- Employer coverage available
Cons
- Does not state whether medication is included in the $199
- Medication brands and compounding status unstated
- Nothing published on labs, cancellation or refunds
- The 20% figure is a company claim, not a trial endpoint
Who it may suit
Someone whose employer covers it and who wants coaching as the main event.
Limitations
- Whether $199 includes medication is the single most important unanswered question
- Company-reported outcomes are not comparable to trial data
Questions
Does $199 include the medication?
The page does not say. Given that most services in this research bill medication separately, assume it does not until Calibrate confirms otherwise.
