The Short Answer
GLP-1 medications work — but outcomes depend almost entirely on how they're managed. Aure Health's metabolic program pairs GLP-1 therapy (when clinically appropriate) with 100+ biomarker monitoring, DEXA body composition tracking to protect muscle, and direct physician access — all inside the Aure Membership at $489/month. Available in person in Alpharetta, GA and by telehealth in all 50 states.
Why Physician-Led GLP-1 Care Is Different
Most GLP-1 prescriptions today come from telehealth mills built for speed: a questionnaire, a rubber-stamped prescription, and a monthly refill with no physician in the loop. The most common reasons people quit — nausea, muscle loss, plateaus, cost — are exactly the problems that active medical management prevents.
At Aure Health, your GLP-1 plan is designed and adjusted by Dr. Sara Hammond, D.O., a board-certified internal medicine physician with advanced training in obesity and metabolic health, an active clinical trial researcher, and a practicing aesthetic physician with a clinic in Alpharetta, GA. Because she conducts clinical trials — not just reads published data — her protocols reflect where obesity medicine is going, not where it was three years ago.
