We’re a proud leader in tech-enabled medical care for people with obesity and comorbid health conditions. Today, we are rebranding as FlyteHealth for our customer and consumer-facing brand. “As our business in the care and navigation of the best-in-class obesity medicine program continues to grow, employers, payers and patients have come to know us as Flyte. With that increased visibility, we are consolidating under FlyteHealth as a single brand,” our CEO and co-founder Sloan Saunders explains. “This alignment allows us to continue to expand our offerings with our partners and provide a unified experience.” Powered by the patent-pending Flyte Intelligence platform, FlyteHealth delivers a user-friendly experience through the FlyteHealth app, care by a team of obesity medicine experts, and patient navigation services. The FlyteHealth approach is built upon the largest data set of obesity and chronic disease research available, as well as the decades of clinical experience of FlyteHealth’s founders — obesity medicine specialists who were among the first to see obesity not as a simple issue of willpower but as a complex disease that requires expert medical treatment.

Obesity care that empowers you
About us
FlyteHealth is a tech-enabled healthcare services organization born of the belief that everyone deserves to live a healthy life. Our efforts to bring the most effective health care to people with obesity, while making it cost-efficient to do so, mean that more people can transform their health for the better—now and for the rest of their lives. We were founded by physicians who were the first to recognize obesity not as a simple issue of willpower, but as a complex disease that requires expert medical treatment. Based on their decades of research and caring for patients, our clinically proven approach combines the latest in personalized medication therapy and behavior coaching that not only helps people lose weight for the long term, but significantly improves related conditions. Our obesity treatment platform, powered by Flyte Intelligence, is built from the largest data set of obesity and chronic disease research available, empowering healthcare providers—our own FlyteHealth clinicians and those of our healthcare partners—to deliver the highest standards of care, consistently. While others are jumping on the GLP-1 bandwagon, we see a better way. One that allows employers and payers to offer the best in obesity care, while keeping costs under control. FlyteHealth clinicians prescribe GLP-1 medications strategically, alongside lower-cost generics, for treatment that’s specific to what our patients’ bodies truly need and delivers better control over health care costs. Obesity care goes well beyond weight loss. FlyteHealth gives patients the power to achieve a lifetime of better health. Whether they are actively losing weight or maintaining a normal BMI, we deliver clinical care and coordinate with care teams to help them manage optimal health for life. At FlyteHealth, we’re committed to making sure nothing stands in the way of someone getting the care they need. Together, we’re a collective force for fighting chronic disease.

The cost and inconsistent availability of GLP-1 anti-obesity medications are driving many patients to consider compounded options. FlyteHealth's obesity medicine experts caution against compounded medications due to the potential for serious safety risks. Instead, the FlyteHealth model provides personalized care plans that incorporate the latest in science and a full spectrum of medications to tailor effective weight treatment based on each person's unique biology.

In this subscriber feature, The Atlantic explores stories from patients who have taken to breaking open their set-dosage GLP-1 injectable pens due to access, cost and to self-mitigate side effects. 💉 While breaking open GLP-1 injectable pens isn’t advisable, there’s a strong case for allowing for slower dose titration. Our co-founder and obesity medicine expert, Katherine Saunders, MD, notes that obesity is a highly heterogeneous disease, and personalized care is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes and minimizing side effects and adverse events. 💗 When asked if flexible dosing would be preferred, Dr. Saunders' response was an emphatic “Yes, oh my gosh, yes, yes."
