Our take
Obesity affects four in ten Americans, but treatment has long been overlooked, often categorized as a lifestyle problem rather than a healthcare issue. Calibrate is changing that by offering a combination of cutting-edge medication and physiological training to help people make lasting changes to their weight.
The medications used by Calibrate, including GLP-1 drugs, have shown strong results in clinical trials. When combined with sustainable lifestyle changes, its program helps patients achieve lasting weight loss. However, while these medications show promise, long-term safety and effectiveness still require further study, especially since continued use is necessary to prevent weight regain.
Despite these concerns, Calibrate's approach has helped over 20,000 people, and many have sustained health improvements well beyond the first year. It has faced some challenges, including negative press and a round of layoffs, but with funding and positive attention around next-gen weight loss drugs, the company continues to be a leader in the field.
