Why Access Matters: Simplifying the Start of GLP-1 Therapy
For many individuals seeking GLP-1 medications, the first barrier is access. Traditional medical systems may involve long wait times, unclear costs, and inconsistent provider guidance. Eden addresses these challenges with an easy-to-navigate platform that matches members with a licensed healthcare provider in their state.
After filling out a brief health intake, patients are reviewed for eligibility. If appropriate, a licensed provider can prescribe GLP-1 medications based on each person’s health goals and medical background. This approach removes the guesswork and delays that often hinder progress.
Personalized Support from Licensed Healthcare Providers
Eden’s care model centers on evidence-based guidance. Every member connects with a licensed healthcare provider who takes the time to understand their medical history, weight management goals, and potential contraindications. These providers base treatment decisions on published research and clinical standards.
For example, semaglutide, one of the most widely studied GLP-1 medications, has shown significant results in trials. The STEP 1 study demonstrated an average weight loss of 14.9% with semaglutide over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle support 1*. Eden connects patients with licensed providers who evaluate their medical history and determine if GLP-1 medications are appropriate, based on published clinical research.
*The GLP-1 formulation used in this trial is the same as what was later approved and marketed under the brand name Wegovy® specifically for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.

Transparent Pricing and Clear Communication
One of Eden’s core values is transparency. There are no hidden fees, vague billing codes, or unexpected charges. Members pay a monthly fee that includes access to consultations with licensed healthcare providers. If the provider determines it’s medically appropriate, a prescription may be sent to a state-licensed pharmacy. This model allows patients to budget with confidence and trust the process.
Eden also ensures clear communication. Members receive education about how GLP-1 medications work, what to expect in the first few weeks, and how to manage potential side effects.

Ongoing Care: More Than a Prescription
Weight management with GLP-1 medications isn’t just about receiving a prescription, it’s about sustained progress. Eden’s approach includes education and ongoing follow-up to help members optimize their results and stay motivated.
Members have access to resources on nutrition, movement, mindset, and medication safety. Providers monitor progress, respond to questions, and can adjust treatment if needed. This model builds a relationship of trust, accountability, and success.
Notably, Eden’s platform also helps patients understand that weight loss journeys are not linear. Research has shown that consistent support significantly improves long-term outcomes for people using GLP-1s 2. Eden makes sure patients aren’t left on their own.
Who Eden Is For: Accessibility and Inclusion
Eden welcomes a wide range of members, from those just starting to explore GLP-1 options to people who’ve been discouraged by other care models. Eden is designed for adults who meet medical eligibility criteria for GLP-1s and want affordable, provider-led care without judgment or delay.
Because Eden operates virtually, more people, regardless of geographic location, can receive care from a licensed provider in their state. This removes a significant barrier for people who may live in healthcare deserts or who have difficulty accessing in-person care.
