What should my journey look like?

So what happens next?

 

Embarking on a path of transformative health requires a structured approach. Wegovy® adopts a meticulous titration protocol, aligning with your body's rhythm at each phase. Here’s a detailed overview of what a commonly prescribed journey could look like, when following our structured progression towards optimal health:

 

Acclimation Phase (Month 1)

  • Commonly Prescribed Dosage: 4 single-use 0.25mg/0.5mL Wegovy® pens
  • Potental Biological Responses:
    • Initial body adaptation to Wegovy® begins, potentially reducing hunger by increasing feelings of fullness after meals​1​.
    • Initial weight loss might be noticed, although this could be modest in the first month​2​.
    • Users may experience gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, particularly during dose escalation.

 

Titration Phase (Months 2-3)

  • Dosage: Gradual increase as outlined in your schedule.
  • Potential Biological Responses:
    • Continued decrease in hunger and caloric intake, leading to more noticeable weight loss.
    • Improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors may be observed, including blood pressure regulation​3​.
    • Side effects like nausea might diminish as the body becomes more accustomed to the medication.

 

Reduction Phase (Months 4-5)

  • Dosage: Further dose escalation as outlined.
  • Potential Biological Responses:
    • Weight loss tends to be more pronounced, with users possibly achieving significant milestones in their weight loss journey​2​.
    • Enhanced glycemic control could be observed, beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes​1​.
    • Further improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors and physical function might be experienced​3​.

 

Normalization Phase (Post Month 5)

  • Dosage: Maintenance or as advised by healthcare professionals.
  • Potential Biological Responses:
    • Stabilization of weight loss, with the body adapting to the new caloric intake and metabolic rate.
    • Maintenance of improved cardiometabolic health, and possibly further improvements in quality of life and physical function.

 

 

Don't get frustrated if your biological responses may look a bit different than the outline above. Every body is unique. Every body is different. Every body reacts to change at their own pace. Don't get discouraged - just reach out to your doctor to discuss your options - whenever you need to.

 

Call your primary doctor if you have side effects that concern you, or you suspect a drug allergy has occurred. If your symptoms are severe, seek medical help immediately. If you experience any side effects listed in the section, below, seek medical help immediately.

  2. How Long Until I Receive My Meds?

    We work really hard to make sure you get timely responses from our doctors and quick delivery of your medication. Typically, our doctors and pharmacy partners do a fantastic job. Our average turnaround times for prescriptions from the doctor are around 1-2 days. Our typical pharmacy fulfillment times are around 3-4 business days. We always ship FedEx 2-day, Monday-Wednesday.

    So, overall, a typical order takes between 6-10 days from the time you finalize your intake to you receiving your medication - excluding weekends. We are always working on ways to improve this timing, and will keep you up-to-speed every step of the way.

  3. The Doctor Isn't Responding - Help!

    If your prescriber takes more than 48 hours to respond to your message, please reach out to our Customer Support team. We'll do everything we can to get your question prioritized and answered by the prescribing physician - and often times can help out if it's a non-medical question.

    Our flat pricing guarantee is unique to us. What you see is what you'll pay. No hidden fees - ever. No matter what dosage your doctor might prescribe, our prices will remain consistent and transparent every step of the way.

    If market conditions change, we will be proactive and forward in our communications. Our mission as a company is to help 80 million Americans address their metabolic dysfunction - and we think that it's easier to do that when our service is affordable.

  5. Are You Even Legit?

    Simply put, yes, we're super legit. TryEden was formed by 2 veterans of the telemedicine industry, and together have a vision to improve the metabolic health of 80 million americans who suffer from some level of metabolic dysfunction.

    We will do whatever it takes to ensure that your trust in us will lead to incredible outcomes. If we ever need to make something right, just let us know. We're here for YOU.

What To Expect When You Are Expecting
(A Delivery From Us).

At Eden, we prioritize a systematic approach towards achieving your health goals. Since you've made the decision to place your trust in us on this journey, we wanted to inform you of what's next.

Our streamlined process ensures a seamless transition towards better health, all from the comfort of your home.

Stage 1:

Prescription Approval:

  • Since you recently completed your initial intake consultation order with our healthcare professionals, they will begin the process to review your health-history in detail. They may have questions for you, so be on the lookout for any messages from your doctor. You can access your secure, HIPAA-compliant, patient portal at any time to respond back to the doctor.
    • This process typically takes ~1-2 days

 

Stage 2:

Pharmacy Processing

  • If a physician deems treatment as appropriate, you may receive a health plan, featuring Wegovy®, suited to your health narrative.

  • This will release your prescription to the FDA regulated 503A pharmacy, if necessary.

    • This process typically takes ~3-5 business days. Sometimes slight delays can occur - we value delivering quality, and sometimes quality takes time!

     

Stage 3:

Shipping

  • Once your prescription is ready to ship, you'll receive a notification from us with the tracking information. Our partners ship FedEx 2-day, and limit shipments to Monday-Wednesday to avoid weekend shipment delays.
    • This process typically takes ~2 days
