    You have researched GLP-1 medications. You understand the benefits of semaglutide and tirzepatide. You are ready to start. The only question left is how. Trimi has designed the onboarding process to be as simple and fast as possible while maintaining the medical rigor that your health deserves.

    Medical Disclaimer

    GLP-1 medications require a prescription. Not everyone is a candidate. Your Trimi medical provider will determine if treatment is appropriate for your individual situation.

    The Step-by-Step Process

    1

    Complete Your Health Profile (5 minutes)

    Visit trytrimi.com and answer questions about your medical history, current medications, health conditions, height, weight, and goals. This information helps our medical team evaluate whether GLP-1 treatment is right for you.

    2

    Choose Your Medication

    Select from three GLP-1 options: compounded semaglutide ($99/mo), compounded tirzepatide ($125/mo), or retatrutide. Not sure which is right? Your provider will help you decide during your evaluation.

    3

    Medical Evaluation (24-48 hours)

    A licensed Trimi medical provider reviews your health profile, checks for contraindications, and determines if treatment is appropriate. They may follow up with additional questions or request lab work.

    4

    Prescription and Pharmacy Processing

    Once approved, your provider sends your prescription to one of Trimi's licensed compounding pharmacy partners. The pharmacy compounds your medication and prepares it for shipment.

    5

    Temperature-Controlled Shipping

    Your medication ships in temperature-controlled packaging to ensure potency. Tracking information is provided so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

    6

    Start Treatment

    Your shipment includes your medication, supplies, and dosing instructions. Begin with your starting dose and follow the titration schedule your provider outlines. Your Trimi team is available for questions anytime.

    What to Expect in Your First Month

    First Month Timeline

    • Week 1: Start at the lowest dose. Some appetite reduction begins. Mild GI side effects are common.
    • Week 2: Appetite suppression becomes more noticeable. Eat protein-first at meals.
    • Week 3-4: Weight loss typically begins. Side effects usually improve. Focus on hydration and protein.
    • End of Month 1: Most patients lose 3-7 pounds. Your provider will evaluate whether a dose increase is appropriate.

    Who Qualifies for Trimi

    Trimi treats adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea. You must be 18 or older and not have contraindications including personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2 syndrome, or active pancreatitis.

    Switching from Another Provider

    If you are already taking a GLP-1 medication from another provider, switching to Trimi is seamless. Share your current medication and dose during your health profile. Your Trimi provider can continue your treatment at your current dose without restarting the titration process. Many patients switch to take advantage of Trimi's lower pricing and broader medication options.
