Nimbus Healthcare Announces WeightWise RX™
Austin-Based At-Home Testing and Personalized Prescription Platform Introduces Weight Loss Solution Focused on GLP-1 Medications
(AUSTIN, TX) – Nimbus Healthcare announces WeightWise RX™, a program leveraging the revolutionary benefits of GLP-1 medications for healthy weight loss and metabolic health optimization. WeightWise RX™ is the third pillar within Nimbus’ patient offerings alongside the company’s hormone optimization and hair loss programs for both men and women. With proven effectiveness in clinical studies, GLP-1 prescriptions have rapidly gained popularity as a transformative solution for individuals wanting to lose weight. As more insurance providers limit coverage for weight loss medication, the Nimbus WeightWise RX™ program focuses on affordability and custom solutions.
WeightWise RX™ uses GLP-1 medications to help patients lose up to 15% of their body weight. GLP-1 is a hormone released by the intestines in response to food and it plays a role in glucose metabolism and satiety or feeling full. GLP-1 medications mimic the effects of natural GLP-1, making them effective for weight loss by reducing hunger, stabilizing blood sugar, and slowing digestion. In addition to these weight loss benefits, GLP-1 medications have also been shown to improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Within the WeightWise RX™ program Nimbus offers its patients the following:
Personalized treatment plans, including custom medication, lifestyle recommendations, and consistent check-ins with a licensed professional.
Nimbus Health Club, an online community with sessions on nutrition, physical fitness, and mental well-being to educate patients on weight management.
A dedicated support system of integrative health specialists and nutritionists to guide every patient through the process.
Detailed progress monitoring tracked by digital wearable technology. This integration ensures timely check-ins, enabling patients and the Nimbus team to observe progress and adapt as required.
“WeightWise RX™ continues our mission of reshaping the future of patient care,” says CEO and Founder of Nimbus Healthcare, Dr. Jobby John. “Not only are we able to assist eligible patients that may be denied by insurance companies, but we are curating an environment where patients are emboldened to commence their health journey with renewed hope. We hope to destigmatize GLP-1 drugs as they are here to stay and are an amazing tool for overweight and obese individuals who feel discouraged from previously failed diets and workout plans. It’s common for your body to need additional glucose managing support like GLP-1 medication to see weight loss results.”
Nimbus understands that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. WeightWise RX™ starts with a comprehensive assessment of each customer's individual medical history, lifestyle, and goals. Once enrolled in the program, patients will receive door-delivered medication, ongoing support from a team of healthcare professionals, and access to a variety of resources and tools for success.
“Our assessment, like all of our products, can be completed online from the comfort of your home and takes only 10 minutes,” says John. “This allows Nimbus to determine if you are eligible for the program and to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.”
Nimbus prioritizes accessibility, efficiency, and affordability within their approach to personalized medicine. Understanding the challenges many face in accessing GLP-1 medications, with a sharp increase in insurance denying coverage over the past 6 months, Nimbus’ compounded prescriptions are made available at a rate as low as $199/month, a significant relief when compared to the exorbitant $1,200/month which uninsured patients might encounter.
Nimbus, which recently launched its women’s line specializing in testing and treatment for hormonal imbalances, peri-menopause, and menopause at the 2023 South by Southwest Creative Industries Expo, offers personalized medicine and a patient-centered telehealth experience. The Austin-based company designs treatment plans and custom compounds FDA-approved medicines based on an individual’s genetics, which is collected by an affordable and accessible series of at home tests.
