Growth.
Premium integrated-service submarket. Growth tier supports this.

Glencoe weight loss
questions, answered.
- Should Glencoe weight-loss practices emphasize GLP-1 or broader metabolic positioning?
- Broader metabolic. The Glencoe demographic responds better to metabolic-health framing (insulin resistance, cardiometabolic risk, longevity) than to weight-loss-primary framing. The positioning lift is significant.
- Are you current on GLP-1 compliance?
- Yes. Every campaign runs through the current federal and state compliance posture. We stay current with FDA shortage list changes, compounding restrictions, platform advertising policies, and insurance-carrier language requirements.
- Can compounded GLP-1s be advertised on Meta or Google in 2026?
- It depends on the current policy state, which has shifted multiple times since 2023. We maintain working relationships with both platforms' healthcare policy teams. The right answer this quarter is not the right answer last quarter.
- What's the typical LTV that makes the math work?
- Medication-based programs: $2,500 to $6,000 patient LTV. Counseling-only programs: $800 to $2,500. We calibrate customer acquisition cost targets against the midpoint of whichever model the practice runs.
- Do you work with insurance-accepted weight loss clinics?
- Yes. The marketing is different: slower cycle, higher volume, lower allowable CAC. We build accordingly and don't pretend cash-pay and insurance-pay economics are the same.
- How do you handle program retention?
- Retention is the business in this vertical. We build automated check-in sequences, refill reminders, plateau-phase content, and offer-structure work that keeps patients engaged through the first ninety days (the highest drop-off window).
- Do you write medical compliance language?
- No. We audit existing language and flag issues. We don't draft compliance language directly; that's your medical director's domain and it needs to stay there.
