Weight management

From BMI 27 to GLP-1 — the full spectrum.

Semaglutide, tirzepatide, compounded options, and non-GLP-1 routes when medication isn't the right fit. Sisu coaches the daily habits that make the medication work — or, for the right person, replace it.

New to this? Start here.

Over the last few years, a new class of prescription medications has changed weight management. You may have heard them called “weight-loss injections” or by brand names like Ozempic or Wegovy. The medical term is GLP-1 medications — they work by reducing appetite and helping your body regulate hunger, and they’re prescribed by licensed doctors for people who meet certain criteria (usually a BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a related condition like diabetes or high blood pressure).

You don’t need to understand the science to find out if you’re a candidate. Our free 30-second check tells you where you stand — then, if it makes sense for you, we show you licensed providers who can help.

Who this is for

“If you’ve struggled with weight and wondered whether medication could help — this is where you find out.”

Adults 18+ with BMI ≥27 (plus a qualifying comorbidity like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, PCOS, or high cholesterol) or BMI ≥30 on BMI alone.

What's covered

Specific treatments. Honest details.

Semaglutide
Ozempic and Wegovy. The most-prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonist in the US. Weekly injection.
Tirzepatide
Mounjaro and Zepbound. Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist — newer, often more effective on weight outcomes than semaglutide.
Compounded GLP-1
Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide may be available on a patient-specific basis through licensed 503A compounding pharmacies, when a licensed provider determines it is appropriate. Compounded products are not themselves FDA-approved, and the regulatory landscape around compounding is actively changing in 2026. A licensed provider decides what is available and appropriate for you.
Non-GLP-1 weight loss
MIC+B12 injections, naltrexone-bupropion, lifestyle-led protocols. For users who don't qualify clinically or prefer non-GLP-1 paths.
Sisu's role

Sisu reads your check-ins, watches the trend, and flags when sleep or stress is dragging weight. The medication is one variable. The daily life around it is everything else — and that's where coaching earns its keep.

Common questions

What people ask about weight management.

Do I have to take GLP-1s to use this?+

No. Sisu coaches the full weight-management picture — diet, exercise, sleep, stress. GLP-1 routing only happens if you ask for it and qualify clinically.

Is compounded GLP-1 safe?+

Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide may be available on a patient-specific basis through licensed 503A compounding pharmacies when a licensed provider determines it is appropriate. Compounded medications are not themselves FDA-approved, and the regulatory landscape around compounding is actively changing in 2026. mybmi.ai does not prescribe, sell, or recommend compounded medications — a licensed provider decides what is appropriate for you.

What about insurance?+

Most affiliate partners are cash-pay. If you have commercial insurance covering GLP-1 for type 2 diabetes, your regular provider is usually the better path. Sisu helps you decide which route to take.

How long does it take to see results?+

Results vary based on individual medical history, treatment type, dosage, adherence, and provider guidance. Sisu helps you understand your starting point and prepare better questions for a licensed clinician about realistic expectations for your situation.
