Finding a weight loss program that truly works can be challenging for women in their 40s and 50s.
We have to deal with profound hormonal shifts, lifestyle demands, age-related metabolic changes, and a mix of other factors that make traditional approaches less effective for us. We could be doing everything right by the book and still observe nil changes in our bodies or the scale.
Only some have the freedom or flexibility to commit to non-virtual methods. This could be due to caregiving responsibilities, health concerns, or time constraints.
If all this effort without seeing any results makes you feel helpless, take a deep breath. Weight loss doesn’t have to be this hard, and you don’t have to feel guilty for taking help.
Gaya Wellness’s doctor-led women’s virtual weight loss program is created just for women in this phase of their lives. With personalized care, the latest medical treatments, and the convenience of online coaching, we provide a science-backed and supportive plan for achieving your health goals.

Personalized and Comprehensive Care
Initial Consult and Tailored Planning
Every journey starts with a chat with our board-certified doctors. During this first video call, we’ll review your health history, treatment medicine, and what you hope to achieve.
Blood work is ordered to identify the root causes of weight struggles, whether caused by hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, lifestyle, or other factors.
We take care of the logistics, like submitting insurance paperwork to determine if your plan covers the cost of medications. With these insights in place, our team develops a customized plan of action that considers your unique biology and guides you toward sustainable weight loss.
Advanced Treatment Options
Prescription Medications for Hormonal Weight Loss
Diet and exercise alone are insufficient for many women to achieve results because they need to address the underlying biological factors.
We provide access to over seven clinically tested GLP-1 medications, for example, Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Mounjaro™, and Saxenda®. These are non-stimulant and non-habit-forming medications that:
- Regulate your appetite
- Improve your metabolism
- Help reset your body’s natural weight set point
But how do these GLP-1 medications work? GLP-1s work by mimicking gut hormones that send a signal to the brain to reduce hunger. This enhances satiety and helps in digestion efficiency.
On average, participants using GLP-1s through our program experience five times more weight loss than those relying on diet and exercise alone. Our doctors ensure that the selected medications align with your medical needs. The goal is to keep out-of-pocket costs to a minimum and be wise about insurance coverage.

The Step-by-Step Program
Phase I: Start Losing Weight
The first phase of our program focuses on kicking off weight loss in a structured and supportive manner. You’ll meet with your Gaya Coach bi-weekly for personalized online weight loss coaching sessions.
These check-ins are like your food and fitness diary. They let you track how your weight, fat, and muscle are changing and how your body is growing. They’re also a great way to learn to have a healthy relationship with food and make meaningful and healthy choices that you can stick with for long-term success.
Phase II: Maintenance and Sustainability
Unlike many weight loss programs, which abandon participants after mere initial signs of success, we focus on long-term maintenance. Thus, this second phase focuses on ensuring that participants keep the weight off.
We will continue to support you with coaching, monitoring, and adjusting your plan as needed. We aim to help you regain control of your health and achieve lasting results, all from the comfort of your own home.
Root Cause Solutions
We are different in addressing the root causes of weight gain instead of treating the symptoms like a surface-level check. Our holistic approach looks at:
- hormonal imbalances
- metabolism changes
- stress management
- lifestyle habits
- aging-related factors
We level the playing field with medically guided interventions, like GLP-1 medications. This way, healthy eating, and regular exercise can be made to work well for everyone.
