GLP-1 care should manage
more than the number on the scale.
MetaOrtho helps patients starting, taking, or questioning GLP-1 treatment get a physician-led review of candidacy, medication fit, side-effect concerns, and monitoring needs.
Start with a personalized GLP-1 Management Profile, then meet with our team — a board-certified endocrinologist and orthopedic surgeon — for a specialty consult, all via telehealth.
Free profile · FSA/HSA eligible consults · No credit card required.
Educational assessment only. Final treatment decisions require consultation with a licensed clinician.
When GLP-1 care is one-size-fits-all
Suboptimal dosing can create
avoidable tradeoffs.
Nausea, reflux, or food aversion
Suboptimal dose escalation can make treatment harder to tolerate.
Plateaus or under-response
A dose or medication may not match your goals, history, or response.
Fatigue and low intake
Appetite suppression without nutrition planning can leave you depleted.
Muscle and bone loss
Rapid weight loss can involve lean mass and bone density — not just fat.
The goal isn't simply losing weight. It's better-managed GLP-1 care.
HIPAA Compliant
Secure telehealth
Your GLP-1 plan, tracked with a clinical dashboard.
After your consult, your GLP-1 Optimization Score, medication response, side effects, nutrition and strength needs, and body-composition trends live in one place — tracked every time we see you.

Your next visit, the labs due, and your care team's protocol updates — all synced with every check-in.
The bigger picture
Most GLP-1 care focuses on weight.
But patients often have bigger questions.
GLP-1 therapy is one of the most consequential drug classes in modern medicine. The questions worth asking go well beyond the number on the scale.
Am I a good candidate for a GLP-1?
Is my current medication and dose still the right fit?
Are my side effects normal, or a sign I need a management adjustment?
Am I losing fat, muscle, or both?
Should I be tracking labs, DEXA, strength, nutrition, or bone health?
Who is looking at the full picture?
MetaOrtho was built for these questions — a structured, physician-led review of candidacy, medication fit, side effects, and what to monitor over time.

What your consult reviews
A specialty GLP-1 consult, not another generic weight-loss program
One focused visit that looks at the whole picture — candidacy, medication, side effects, nutrition, and the musculoskeletal monitoring most programs leave out.
Candidacy & goals
Whether GLP-1 therapy may be appropriate for you, based on your profile, history, goals, and risk factors.
Medication & dose context
A review of your current or potential GLP-1 — drug class, dosing history, response, and tolerability. Drug decisions stay with your clinician; the consult reviews the considerations.
Side effects & tolerability
Clinical questions worth discussing — nausea, fatigue, weakness, joint symptoms, gout concerns, nutrition, and the effects of rapid weight loss.
Weight-loss pace & nutrition
Your pace of loss, protein and nutrition, and how to support strength and energy while the weight comes off.
Body composition, muscle & bone
Whether DEXA, strength tracking, or musculoskeletal monitoring may make sense for your situation — the orthopedic depth most GLP-1 programs skip.
Labs, DEXA & follow-up
Which labs or imaging may be worth ordering when clinically appropriate, and what a sensible follow-up cadence looks like for you.
The consult
One focused specialty consult.
Clear next steps.
Cash-pay, transparent, and built around your GLP-1 Management Profile — so the visit focuses on your specific questions.
Initial Specialty GLP-1 Consult
- Review of your GLP-1 status and goals
- Medication and dose-history review
- Side-effect and tolerability discussion
- Candidacy and management-complexity assessment
- Metabolic and musculoskeletal risk review
- Body-composition monitoring considerations
- Recommended next steps and follow-up plan
Follow-Up Specialty Consult
- Progress review
- Side-effect and tolerability update
- Medication-management considerations
- Monitoring review
- Plan refinement
Not included
Phase 1 consults are cash-pay. Consult availability depends on state licensure and clinical eligibility. The website assessment is educational and does not create a clinician-patient relationship.
Who this is for
Built for patients who want more
structure around GLP-1 treatment.
Already taking a GLP-1
You're losing weight, but you're unsure whether your current medication, dose, side effects, nutrition, or monitoring plan is still right for you.
Considering starting
You want a second opinion on candidacy, tradeoffs, risks, and what should be monitored before you begin therapy.
Losing weight rapidly
You want to understand body-composition, lean-mass, bone-health, nutrition, and strength considerations before the scale becomes your only metric.
Experiencing symptoms
You have fatigue, weakness, joint pain, gout concerns, nausea, appetite, or other symptoms you'd like reviewed in context.
Higher-risk patients
You have low bone density, prior fractures, sarcopenia concerns, orthopedic issues, inflammatory conditions, older age, or significant weight-loss goals.
