For GLP-1 telehealth providers
The prescription is the easy part.
What happens next is where GLP-1 partnerships win or lose.
Every telehealth provider can write the script. The ones that keep members — and keep their results — are the ones that don't go quiet after checkout.
That's the part we solve. Co-branded, built for you, and validated by your own team before you pay anything.
Where the category is moving
Before checkout
Access to the medication
- Prescription & fulfillment
- Speed and price
- Insurance navigation
Increasingly commoditized. Everyone competes here, and the floor keeps dropping.
After checkout
What keeps members on track
- A protein floor that protects muscle
- Daily guidance when appetite disappears
- The reason results — and members — last
Where differentiation lives now. This is where Alongside works.
The axis is shifting
For two years, GLP-1 telehealth competed on getting the medication into people's hands — fast, cheap, compliant. That race is nearly run, and the differentiation it offered is evaporating.
What comes next is harder and more valuable: keeping members on the medication, protecting the body composition they're working for, and turning a prescription into a result they'll stay for. Four medical societies said it plainly in their 2025 joint advisory on GLP-1 nutrition: muscle loss, poor long-term adherence and weight regain are among the central challenges of GLP-1 therapy. None of them are solved at checkout.
Whoever owns the daily layer between visits owns the part of the category that's still up for grabs.
What Alongside is
An AI metabolic coach built for the GLP-1 era. It gives each member a personalized protein floor — the daily minimum that protects muscle while they lose — and does the hard part: getting them to actually hit it on the days the medication takes their appetite away.
For a telehealth provider, it's the daily-behavior layer you don't have to build. It turns the protein side of muscle preservation into something members actually do every day, through a coach they open daily — and it makes "we don't go quiet after the sale" something you can actually prove.
What's in it for you
We built this so the value runs to you from day one. No commitment. No integration project. Your side is placement, not building.
A finished, co-branded benefit
We build the member guide, the campaign and the daily experience. You put it in front of your members and add your brand and clinical voice.
The answer to "what happens next"
A credible, advisory-aligned response to the muscle-loss question your members and clinicians are already asking — without building it in-house.
Retention, not just acquisition
Better body composition is a direct answer to the discontinuation and regain that threaten member lifetime value — the part of the funnel that actually moves the economics.
Differentiation while it still counts
A co-branded muscle-preservation benefit few competitors can match — worth more now, while the category is still consolidating, than it will be in a year.
How the partnership works
Four steps. You pay only for members who actually use it — nothing while you validate it, nothing for the first 30 days after launch, and nothing ever for members who don't engage.
- 01
Scoping call
Your program, your members, and whether there's a fit. If there is, we sign a mutual NDA.
30 minutes · No commitment - 02
Validation
Your clinical team and 20 to 25 members you choose use it for real. Put the protein-floor model and the safety posture through your own diligence — our FAQ answers the questions clinicians ask first. You get a cohort-level report — activation, days active, floor hit rate, day-30 retention, member feedback — and a straight go / no-go conversation.
Up to 30 days · No cost - 03
Launch
The co-branded campaign goes live to your members. We build it; you place it.
First 30 days free - 04
Month-to-month
Billed only on members who engage. No term, no notice period.
Per active member · Cancel any time
Optional: the measurement track
If you already measure body composition, prove it on your own members. You run a baseline scan at enrollment and a follow-up around day 90, on your normal schedule — the scans stay in your system. We report lean-mass change across the cohort, grouped by how consistently each member hit their protein floor. Members join individually and consent before their protein adherence is shared with you. The measurement cohort stays free through the follow-up scan, whether or not you launch.
Who does what
Alongside
- Build the co-branded patient guide — The Protein Floor Protocol — with a foreword from your medical lead.
- Write and design the content drip each cycle, for your review.
- Lead webinar delivery end to end.
- Run the product: daily protein floor, photo estimation, meal planning, the coaching loop.
- Support your members directly, in-app and by email.
- Report engagement for your cohort, monthly.
You
- Put Alongside in your onboarding sequence for new GLP-1 starts.
- Give it a standing placement in your member portal or app.
- Send the content drip on your own channels each cycle.
- Host one co-branded webinar per cycle — your speakers, as much or as little as you want.
- Sign off on brand and clinical content that carries your logo.
- Take clinical questions your members raise. We route them to you.
How billing works
You pay per active member, per month, and the rate drops as your active count grows. A member counts as active after engaging with Alongside on five or more days in a calendar month — signed up and dormant costs nothing. Only members who arrive through your campaign link are ever billed to you. Invoices go out monthly in arrears, with the member count and an engagement report attached. Rates are in the partner terms we share after the scoping call.
No integration project, and no commitment until your own team has seen it work.
Building in GLP-1? Let's talk.
If your members are losing weight but you're thinking about what happens after — the muscle, the adherence, the results that last — that's exactly the conversation we want to have.
