GLP-1 Eligibility: Do You Qualify for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

The BMI Thresholds, Explained

The standard eligibility framework for GLP-1 weight loss treatment uses body mass index plus health context:

• BMI 30+: qualifies on its own for provider evaluation.
• BMI 27–29.9: qualifies when combined with at least one weight-related condition — commonly high blood pressure, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, or PCOS.

BMI is a screening number, not a verdict. Providers weigh your full picture — medications, history, and goals — which is exactly why a real review by a licensed provider matters.

Who Should Not Take GLP-1s

A licensed provider will screen you out of GLP-1 treatment if you have:

• Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
• Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
• A history of pancreatitis
• Severe gastrointestinal disease, such as gastroparesis
• Current pregnancy, breastfeeding, or plans to become pregnant

This screening is the entire reason legitimate platforms require a medical intake. Any website that skips it is not protecting you.

How Online Screening Works at FitFlow

1. Complete the online health intake — about 5–10 minutes, from any device.
2. A licensed provider from the Wasef Health medical group reviews your history individually.
3. If treatment is appropriate, your prescription is sent to a licensed US pharmacy and shipped to you; if it is not appropriate, it is not prescribed.

Availability varies by state, and eligibility is confirmed during intake. There is no charge to find out whether you qualify.
