Metabolic Performance Health
Most platforms mail you a GLP-1 and call it care — but in trials, up to 39% of the weight lost was lean muscle, and roughly two-thirds of it returned within a year of stopping. Vitelize is built to change that: clinically appropriate medication paired with in-person one-on-one training, a real nutrition protocol, monthly body-composition monitoring and a clinical plan to taper and maintain — one coordinated care pathway.
Trial findings, not Vitelize outcomes — lean-mass loss: STEP-1 (NEJM 2021) & SURMOUNT-1 (NEJM 2022) substudies; regain: STEP-4 (JAMA 2021) & SURMOUNT-4 (JAMA 2024).
What Vitelize is
GLP-1 medication works. But on its own it takes muscle with the fat, and the weight tends to return once you stop. What protects your results is everything most programs leave out: real training, real nutrition, real oversight.
Vitelize is a physician-led care pathway that combines the medication with in-person one-on-one training, a structured nutrition protocol, monthly body-composition monitoring and a clinical plan to taper and maintain — coordinated by one team, from one shared record, and delivered with a partner gym.
Clinician-guided, start to maintenance
The complete care pathway
This is what sets Vitelize apart from prescription-only telehealth: the medication is only the beginning. Everything that makes the loss durable is built into the same pathway.
A licensed MD reviews your history, prescribes when clinically appropriate, orders labs and manages your dose — with clinical governance owned by our Medical Director.
Supervised resistance training with a certified trainer at a partner gym — the single biggest lever for protecting muscle while you lose fat. This is care delivered in person, not a PDF.
A structured plan built to reach an adequate daily protein target during rapid weight loss, with supplements included — because appetite suppression makes under-eating protein the default risk.
Monthly body-composition scans separate fat lost from muscle kept, so your clinical and training teams catch muscle loss early — not months later on a bathroom scale.
A physician-guided plan to step down the medication and hold your results — the phase refill-only models simply don't have, and where most of the regain happens.
Care you can see
Not a box mailed to your door — a coordinated pathway delivered in person, measured over time and owned by named experts.
Why the pathway matters
Medication alone reliably drops the scale — but a meaningful share of that loss is muscle, and most of it returns after stopping. Training, protein and monitoring are what change the trajectory.
Of the weight lost on a GLP-1 alone can come from lean mass rather than fat.
Roughly two-thirds of lost weight returns within a year of stopping (STEP-4, JAMA 2021; SURMOUNT-4, JAMA 2024).
The daily protein range our nutrition protocol is built to reach during active loss.
Body-composition scans, synced to dose-titration milestones so nothing slips.
Figures describe published trial findings and clinical guidance, not Vitelize outcomes. Lean-mass loss during pharmacological weight loss: STEP-1 (NEJM 2021) & SURMOUNT-1 (NEJM 2022) body-composition substudies. Individual results vary.
How it works
Every lab, dose, session and scan lives in one app — read by your clinical team and your training team together.
Goals, history and the right program, reviewed together.
A licensed physician reviews your intake and decides your prescription.
A metabolic panel; medication filled and shipped to your door.
Assessment, baseline body-composition scan and your first protein supply.
Weekly training, monthly scans & dose review, then a guided taper into maintenance.
GLP-1 + Training is delivered through Vitelize partner gyms and requires a partnership in place — live now in Colorado and Oklahoma, with more states coming online.
The people behind Vitelize
Each pillar of the program — medicine, training & nutrition, and the science behind it — is owned by a named expert, not an anonymous platform.
Medical Director
Board-certified in Internal Medicine with a Master’s in Biochemistry and a focus on metabolic, regenerative and longevity medicine. He owns Vitelize’s clinical governance — prescribing standards, monitoring and dose management.
Fitness & Nutrition Expert
Founder and CEO of Core Progression Elite Personal Training and a Baylor-trained exercise scientist. He built the supervised, results-driven training and nutrition model — delivered one-on-one, in person.
Scientific Advisor
Professor of Muscle & Metabolic Health at the University of Glasgow, cited over 14,000 times in exercise, muscle and metabolism. His research on resistance training and protein for preserving lean mass underpins the model.
Also from Vitelize
A separate, clinician-guided pathway of individually prescribed therapies for members of partner facilities and health & wellness providers — and, where legally permitted, patients not affiliated with a partner. Eligibility is determined through appropriate clinical evaluation.
Partner Network
Vitelize partners with gyms, boutique studios, physiotherapists, sole practitioners and online coaches — organized geographically so members can find clinically integrated metabolic care near them.
