Enrolling in a weight loss program is often the hardest step — not because the process is complicated, but because deciding to ask for help is the biggest shift. At Go Figure Health in Westminster, CO, our enrollment path is intentionally simple: a personalized consultation, a plan built around your labs and lifestyle, and options that include Semaglutide and Tirzepatide when they're appropriate. Here's what to expect from start to finish.
What Are the Steps to Enroll in a Personalized Weight Loss Program?
The enrollment process typically follows four steps: an initial consultation, a health and eligibility review, a personalized plan (nutrition, coaching, and — when appropriate — medication), and a scheduled follow-up cadence. Personalization is the difference between a program that works for a few weeks and one that works for years. A 2023 evaluation of a personalized digital weight management program by Pagoto and colleagues reinforced that individualized plans produce better adherence and outcomes than one-size-fits-all templates.
### How Do I Start the Enrollment Process at Go Figure Health?
You can begin online through our new patient scheduling page or by calling the clinic. The first visit is a real conversation — health history, current goals, past weight loss attempts, medications, sleep, and stress — not a form-filling exercise.
### Eligibility Criteria to Know Before Enrolling
Eligibility depends on your medical history and goals. For GLP-1 medications, providers typically consider BMI, blood sugar, cardiovascular risk factors, and other prescription medications. Some conditions require additional review or aren't candidates at all. We'll walk through this transparently at your consultation — there's no wrong answer, just the right plan for you.
### Which Weight Loss Treatments Are Included?
Our program includes several treatment paths, alone or in combination:
- **Semaglutide** — a weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and quiets food noise
- **Tirzepatide** — a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with typically larger average weight loss than semaglutide
- Nutrition coaching — protein-forward, portion-controlled plans built around your lifestyle
- Body composition analysis — to track lean mass, not just scale weight
- Supplemental therapies — B12, NAD+, lipotropic injections, and vitamin support when clinically indicated
A 2024 systematic review and network meta-analysis by Karagiannis and colleagues found tirzepatide was more efficacious than semaglutide for both weight and glycemic control across the dose ranges studied — one of the reasons we discuss both options with every patient rather than defaulting to a single medication.
What Are the Benefits and Dosage of Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is delivered as a once-weekly injection. Dosing starts low (typically 0.25 mg) and increases gradually to minimize side effects. Patients commonly notice reduced appetite and food noise within 1–2 weeks and measurable weight loss by week four. A full timeline is outlined in our weight loss program timeline guide.
How Does the Tirzepatide Program Work?
Tirzepatide targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, producing stronger effects on appetite regulation and glucose metabolism than semaglutide for most patients. Like semaglutide, it uses a slow titration schedule and weekly injections, with structured check-ins to adjust dosing based on response, side effects, and body composition changes. Additional research on tirzepatide's dual mechanism was reviewed in Gupta's 2024 analysis of tirzepatide's clinical action.
How Can I Book a Consultation?
Consultations can be scheduled two ways:
- Online: through our new patient scheduling page
- By phone: call the Westminster clinic directly
In-person and telehealth options are both available across Colorado — see our Telehealth GLP-1 Program overview for the virtual pathway.
### What to Expect During Your Consultation
Expect a comprehensive review: medical history, current medications, sleep and stress, previous weight loss attempts, labs, and specific goals. From there, your provider builds a plan that fits your body, schedule, and preferences — not a generic protocol. You'll leave with clear next steps and cost expectations.
Costs and Payment Options
Pricing at Go Figure Health is transparent and structured for planning. Medication programs typically include the prescription, consultations, and follow-up cadence in a monthly fee. Because pricing depends on medication choice, dosage, and program length, we quote current rates directly during your consultation.
### Financing and Insurance
Some insurance plans cover portions of medical weight loss care, especially initial consultations and lab work. Compounded GLP-1 medications are generally cash-pay. If you'd like to understand your options, our team will walk through what's typically covered, what's not, and what financing arrangements are available. A great starting point is our $79 New Patient Special.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lifestyle changes should I make alongside the program?
The strongest results come from pairing your program with regular movement (walking, strength training, or both), a protein-forward diet, adequate sleep, and consistent hydration. Your provider will help tailor these to your starting point rather than handing you a generic checklist.
How long before I see results from Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
Most patients notice reduced appetite within 1–2 weeks and measurable weight loss by week four. Significant, sustained results typically appear over 12–16 weeks as dosing stabilizes and habits build.
Can I stay on my current medications while enrolled?
In most cases, yes — but every prescription and supplement should be reviewed at your consultation. Some medications interact with GLP-1s or require dose adjustments, so your provider will build a plan that accounts for everything you're taking.
What support do you offer during the program?
Enrolled patients get scheduled follow-ups with the clinical team, nutrition guidance, body composition tracking, and access to our full menu of supplemental therapies as needed. You're not managing the program alone.
Are there side effects with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
The most common side effects are mild-to-moderate GI symptoms — nausea, constipation, or reflux — especially in the first weeks or after dose increases. These typically improve as your body adjusts. Our full guide on managing GLP-1 side effects walks through what to expect and how to minimize them.
How do I maintain results after the program?
Maintenance is about protecting the habits that got you here: consistent protein intake, movement, sleep, and periodic check-ins. Many patients transition to a lower medication dose or a maintenance coaching cadence rather than stopping cold — your provider will map out the right off-ramp for you.
