Frequently Asked Questions
About Dr.nuMe
What makes Dr.nuMe different from other weight loss programs?
We combine doctor-prescribed medications like Semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) with nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching, and ongoing support. Every plan is customized to fit you.
Do I need insurance?
No. Our programs are available without insurance, and we also provide support for those who want to use insurance.
Who will be guiding me?
Your care will always be overseen by board-certified doctors who specialize in weight management.
Do you accept patients from anywhere?
Yes. Because all visits are online (telehealth), we can help patients in many states. Availability may vary by location.
Medications & Safety
Are the medications safe?
Yes. We only use FDA-approved medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Your doctor will review your health history to make sure they’re right for you.
What if I’m not eligible for GLP-1 medication?
We’ll still support you with personalized meal plans, lifestyle strategies, and weight management tools.
How do I take the medication?
You can choose between weekly injections or oral dissolving troches (tablets that melt in your mouth).
Are there side effects?
Some people may experience nausea, upset stomach, constipation, or mild fatigue when starting treatment. These usually improve over time. Your doctor will explain what to expect and how to manage it.
How long do I need to take the medication?
It depends on your goals and progress. Some patients take it short-term, while others continue long-term under doctor supervision.
Who We Help
Who is a good fit for Dr.nuMe?
We help adults who want to lose weight safely and effectively, especially those who have:
- Obesity (BMI 30+)
- Overweight (BMI 27+) with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
- Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
- Insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome
- Struggles with appetite control or emotional eating
- A desire for non-surgical weight loss solutions
Can this help with diabetes?
Yes. These medications are often prescribed to improve blood sugar control for people with type 2 diabetes while also supporting weight loss.
Who should not take these medications?
People with certain medical conditions, such as a history of thyroid cancer (medullary thyroid carcinoma) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2), may not be eligible. That’s why every patient gets a full medical evaluation first.
