No, you don't need a doctor's referral to sign up with Youthful MD. However, our medical team is happy to collaborate with your doctor if appropriate.

Youthful MD’s new, scientifically-proven, patient-centric way to lose weight is designed by top weight loss specialists. Rather than waiting for months for an in-person appointment, you will have access to board-certified medical professionals trained in weight loss medicine right away who will be able to personalize a weight care treatment plan to work with your biology from a wide selection of medications (including GLP-1s) that can help guide you throughout your weight loss journey. Additionally, you’ll have access to the YMD app with valuable tools and resources, as well as a dedicated health coach with specialist telemedicine check-ins. Youthful MD gives you the health benefits of in-person care from the comfort and convenience of your home.

Throughout your weight loss treatment with Youthful MD, you’ll have multiple telemedicine check-ins with healthcare specialists at critical points to determine the safest, most effective medication for your biology and medical history. The healthcare team will make any adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.

Medical weight loss programs are effective because they integrate dietary and lifestyle adjustments alongside the administration of suitable medication, all overseen by a board-certified provider. While medication plays a pivotal role in weight management, its efficacy is maximized when coupled with proper dietary selections and regular exercise routines.
