Customized weight loss plans for men from $69. Start your journey at Hims today

• Few people consult a doctor before attempting weight loss.
• Hims offers virtual weight loss support for men, including consultations and prescriptions.
• Hims provides GLP-1 injections, meal replacements, and oral medications for weight loss.

A study found that only one in ten people who were told they needed to lose weight actually sought help from a medical professional before starting a weight loss program, according to the National Institutes of Health. I learned from experience that the weight loss is healthier and more effective with a medical professional involved. I've lost 75 pounds on my own weight loss journey, which has included prescription medications and GLP-1 injections.

Whether you're seeking a healthier lifestyle (like me!) or looking to manage chronic health issues connected to your weight, men can start their journey through Hims, while women can start their journey through Hers. The best part is, you never even have to leave your home, with virtual calls available in some states and prescriptions delivered to your door if prescribed.
