The ZipFit Journey: End-to-End
Homepage overview and FAQs not enough? We got you, you detail-oriented, research-driven, maximizer you ;)
Alright, here’s what we got cooking…
Step 1:
Submit the intake form
Upon completing the form, you’ll get an email to confirm submission and lay out next steps.
Step 2:
Join PracticeBetter
Within 1 business day, you’ll get an email asking you to join PracticeBetter. This is the platform we use to manage all the things—action items, communications, scheduling, chit chatting (i.e., customer support), etc.—so be sure to accept the invite!
Once in PracticeBetter, you’ll be added to the ZipFit "Pre-Req” program which will walk you through each step of the process.
Step 3:
Get your labs done
Through PracticeBetter, we’ll send you a prescription for lab work, and you’ll get that done wherever is most convenient. We’re also happy to help you find an easy option if you need help!
Step 4:
Chat with doc
Once your lab results are in, we’ll set up a consult call with one of ZipFit’s medical practitioners. This will be your opportunity to ask any questions you have about taking semaglutide. The practitioner will also review your information and determine if you’re a good fit for the med!
Step 5:
Fill your prescription
If you’re a good candidate for semaglutide, we’ll hook you up with a prescription, and you can get that filled through ZipFit or a pharmacy of your choosing. If you go through us, we’ll get your meds shipped out within 1 business day of you submitting payment. We’ll send you either a 4-week or a 12-week supply, per your preference.
Step 6:
Take your meds
Each week, you’ll take your dose of semaglutide via a subcutaneous injection. We start you off on a small dose and ramp you up over the course of 3 months. We have reminders and check-ins set up for you in PracticeBetter, and you’re also welcome to ping us at any time if you need extra support.
Pro tip: once you start getting into your semaglutide groove, check in with your diet and exercise habits!
To maximize your weight loss results, a healthy diet and exercise regimen are KEY. If you wanna go it alone, all good, no hard feelings (we’re not crying; you’re crying). But if you want some extra support, come check out our wellness offerings here!
Step 7:
Assess results and decide on your plan for months 4 onward
Towards the end of your semaglutide “ramp up” (the first 3 months in which we slowly increase your dose), you’ll check in with a ZipFit medical practitioner. Together, you’ll decide what maintenance dose you want to stick to going forward: either 1 mg semaglutide per week, or 2 mg semaglutide per week. You’ll then place your desired order through ZipFit or a pharmacy of your choosing.
Step 8:
Stick with your maintenance dose
After 4 months, you’re in the “maintenance” phase. You’ll be taking the same dose of semaglutide every week until you decide you want to change dosing or stop altogether. We’ll set you up on our “Maintenance” program in PracticeBetter with helpful reminders and support :)
Note that we’ll require you to check in with a ZipFit medical practitioner every 3 months to make sure you stay healthy throughout the whole process, and to reassess dosage.
