Our Methodology

Our Commitment to Accuracy

GLP-1 Practices is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based information about GLP-1 medications and weight management telehealth options. Our content is written by healthcare professionals and reviewed for medical accuracy.

How We Select Providers

In my years working as a Certified Medical Assistant, I've seen firsthand how difficult it can be for patients to identify legitimate, trustworthy healthcare providers — especially when exploring newer treatment options like GLP-1 medications. That experience directly shaped how we built our evaluation process.

Research Process

Our research process involves multiple steps to ensure the information we provide is current and reliable:

1. Primary Source Review — We review FDA labeling, published clinical trials, and peer-reviewed medical literature for all medication information.
2. Provider Evaluation — We evaluate telehealth providers based on publicly available information including licensing, pricing transparency, and service offerings.
3. Expert Review — Our content is reviewed by healthcare professionals with relevant clinical experience.
4. Regular Updates — We periodically review and update our content to reflect new research findings and changes in the telehealth landscape.

How We Evaluate Providers

I approach every provider evaluation the same way I would if I were advising a patient in a clinical setting — systematically, without shortcuts, and with the patient's best interest as the only priority.

When comparing telehealth weight management providers, we evaluate the following criteria:

• Licensing — Verification that providers use licensed healthcare professionals
• Pricing Transparency — Clear, upfront pricing information
• Service Offerings — Range of consultation types and support services
• Geographic Availability — States where services are available
• Patient Support — Availability of ongoing medical support and monitoring

How We Maintain Editorial Independence

I want to be direct about something: I earn affiliate commissions from some of the providers featured on this site. I've chosen to be completely transparent about that because I believe you deserve to know. What I can tell you honestly is that those commission rates have never changed which providers I feature or how I describe them. My clinical training taught me that patient trust is everything — and I'm not willing to compromise that for a higher payout.

What We Don't Do

To maintain integrity, we adhere to the following guidelines:

• We do not publish star ratings or review scores that are not verifiable from independent sources
• We do not make guarantees about treatment outcomes
• We do not provide medical advice — we provide educational information
• We do not allow advertisers to influence our editorial content

Sources We Trust

Our medical content is informed by trusted sources including:

• U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling and safety communications
• Published clinical trials in peer-reviewed journals
• Professional medical organizations (AMA, AACE, Obesity Medicine Association)
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Corrections Policy

If we discover an error in our content, we will correct it promptly and transparently. For significant corrections, we will note the correction and the date it was made.
