In this episode, we’re diving into Ro’s innovative approach to weight management with Dr. Steve Silvestro, Associate Director of Clinical Content & Education, and exploring why now is a critical time to discuss telehealth weight loss solutions. With the shortage of Tirzepatide and semaglutide behind us, patients may face more difficulty finding safe, regulated, compounded GLP-1 medications. Many may even consider turning to the black market to obtain research-grade GLP-1s, but it’s important to understand the risks involved.

Ro offers a regulated and safe alternative: Zepbound vials, which can be prescribed at almost the same cost as compounded tirzepatide, with the added benefit of medical oversight. Dr. Silvestro shares how Ro’s personalized care model works to help patients navigate insurance prior authorizations for Zepbound, ensuring a smoother path to treatment.

We also hear from two Ro patients, Colleen and Billy, who share their personal community stories and experiences with Ro’s platform. They talk about how Ro’s holistic approach—addressing everything from diabetes prevention to thyroid conditions like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease—has empowered them to tackle their weight loss journeys and find sustainable health improvements.

Ro's approach goes beyond just medication. With a focus on both physical and mental health, they create tailored treatment plans that consider each patient’s unique challenges and provide long-term success. If you’re looking for insights on safe weight loss solutions, GLP-1 medications, or navigating the complex world of weight management, this episode has you covered.
