I came to FORM after doing the following: a national commercial for NOOM after being with them for a year, and being an ambassador for Calibrate, a program I was in for two years. All of these three are good programs and I've lost weight in all, but FORM is hands-down THE best. Completely covered by my insurance, I find that FORM closes all the gaps. It's all virtual, the app is a breeze, admin teams answer your customer service questions or suggestions within the day (which is not the norm for most other companies), and they are clearly living by their mission to ensure that all patients have access to evidence-based weight loss care. My team includes: Dr. Angela who is beyond amazing, she cares about you as a whole person, in addition to your treatment plan. My registered dietician is Rebecca who is overwhelmingly positive and comes ready for lots of great advice on modifications and tips and tricks. Robin is a great administrator who is on top of the game, with quick answers, suggestions, and appointment reminders.
Form Health patients work 1:1 with an obesity medicine Doctor and Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist to achieve their weight loss and health goals. This full-circle Form Health Care Team creates a personalized plan that addresses lifestyle change and includes a prescription for FDA-approved medication, if appropriate. Here is where you won't find a lot of restrictions, but rather, you will learn how to eat even better, work with travel, manage stress, make modifications, and grow your patience with the process of weight loss, which can be bumpy given all the drama out there with supply, demand, pharma, etc. But they won't give up on helping you, so don't give up on yourself.
You owe it to yourself to try a program that really works and to work with a coordinated team that is responsive: gets back to you right away with a ton of tools, support groups, tips, and evidence-based, research-driven techniques that uplift and encourage. I'm a year into the program and can't tell you enough how helpful the team has been in ushering and guiding me through all the ups and downs of waiting for medication (nearly ten months, losing access, and regaining access to Zepbound)! I would have normally thrown in the towel, but Dr. Angela helped me stay focused, seen, and heard through all the trials and tribulations and I didn't gain much weight at all while in the holding pattern. Now, I'm back to releasing more weight and am more patient with the process. Weight release, like healing, isn't linear. There will be ups, downs, and plateaus, so having a team help you understand and compensate is essential. I look forward to reaching ideal weight with this team. I'm only 30 lbs or so away.
