Our review of Sunlight

Sunlight is a telehealth weight loss program. Like other services in our comparison, it starts with an online health assessment. A licensed clinician reviews your information and, if appropriate, prescribes treatment as part of a plan built around your health history and goals. The process takes place online, so you do not need to visit an office to get started.

Sunlight highlights a personalized treatment plan and ongoing clinical guidance, which may appeal to people who want regular check-ins rather than a one-time prescription. It also notes that insurance is not required. We have limited verified information about this provider, so check the provider's site for current details on medications, plan structure and costs before you sign up.

What stands out

  1. Personalized plan Sunlight describes its treatment plans as personalized. Your clinician reviews your health history and goals and decides what, if any, medication is appropriate for you.
  2. Ongoing guidance The program highlights continued clinical guidance after you start. This may help if you want support adjusting your plan over time. Check the provider's site for how follow-ups work.
  3. No insurance required Sunlight notes that you do not need insurance to join. Check the provider's site for current self-pay pricing and what is included in each plan.
  4. Note on medication type Ask which medication your plan uses. If a compounded GLP-1 is offered, note that compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Your clinician can explain the differences.

Before you start

GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide need a prescription. Brand-name versions (like Wegovy® and Zepbound®) are FDA-approved; compounded versions are not FDA-approved.

Common side effects include nausea and stomach upset. These medications are not for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2.

Common questions

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. Every provider on this page connects you with a licensed clinician who decides whether a GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you.

What is the difference between brand-name and compounded GLP-1s?

Brand-name medications are made by the original manufacturer and approved by the FDA. Compounded versions are prepared by pharmacies and are not FDA-approved, though they are often cheaper.

Does insurance cover weight loss medication?

It depends on your plan. Some providers can check your coverage for brand-name options; many also offer self-pay plans that do not use insurance.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary from person to person and depend on the medication, dose, diet and activity. Your clinician can explain what is realistic for you.

Are online weight loss programs legitimate?

Many are run with licensed clinicians and licensed pharmacies. Look for clear information about who reviews your health history, which pharmacy fills prescriptions, and how pricing and cancellation work before you sign up.

What side effects should I know about?

The most common side effects are stomach-related, such as nausea, diarrhea and constipation, and they are often more noticeable when a dose increases. Serious side effects are possible, so tell your clinician about any severe or ongoing symptoms.
