View GLP-1 Weight Loss CareWeight loss telehealth is a video-based evaluation of your metabolic health, medical history, and goals, leading to an individualized plan. That plan may include a GLP-1 medication, lifestyle and nutrition changes, or both, depending on what your labs and history show. It is not a standing prescription service — every plan starts with an evaluation.
This visit is for anyone who has felt stuck on their weight or energy, including people who feel like they've tried everything already. Lucas is explicit that this is not a willpower problem and approaches every patient without judgment, drawing on his background in metabolic and hormone health.
Your first visit covers your weight history, prior attempts, current medications, and goals, often alongside baseline labs ordered at a location near you. From there, Lucas builds a plan together with you and schedules follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust as needed.
A plan built around your life, not a lecture about willpower.
Weight is evaluated alongside thyroid, hormone, and metabolic labs.
Regular follow-up visits to track response and adjust your plan.
Lucas Tonies sees weight management as connected to the rest of your health, not an isolated number on a scale. His years in critical care and perioperative medicine at Kaiser Permanente, where he chaired the evidence-based practice council, inform a plan grounded in data rather than trends.
Candidacy depends on your health history, current medications, and lab work, which is why the first visit is a full evaluation rather than a prescription pad. Lucas reviews whether a GLP-1 medication fits your situation or whether another approach is a better starting point.
No. Lucas is explicit about this: struggling with weight is not a willpower problem, and you will not be judged for what hasn't worked before. The conversation focuses on what's happening in your body and your life now, not what happened in the past.
Baseline labs are typically ordered to check metabolic and thyroid function before starting any weight loss treatment, including GLP-1 medication. These are drawn at a lab near you and reviewed together on a follow-up video visit before your treatment plan is finalized.
Follow-up frequency depends on your treatment plan, but most patients are seen regularly in the first few months to monitor response, adjust dosing, and address side effects. Visits typically become less frequent once your weight, labs, and symptoms have stabilized over time.
