HealFast Expands Health Services into Weight Management via Telehealth

Physician-founded health and wellness company HealFast is broadening its services to include telehealth support for weight management and metabolic health. The expansion aims to assist patients, particularly those undergoing treatment with GLP-1 medications, throughout their health journeys.

HealFast, initially focused on recovery nutrition and education after significant health events like surgery or childbirth, is applying its patient-first approach to the evolving field of medical weight management. This move acknowledges the growing need for comprehensive support beyond prescription medication.

"Our role has always been to unlock patients' optimal outcomes by delivering what they require in that moment – whether better information, nutritional support or simply a clearer path forward," stated Justin Samra, co-founder and CEO of HealFast. "We see trusted telehealth access and metabolic support as a natural extension of our mission."

The company's new telehealth offerings will focus on providing education, nutritional guidance, and patient-centered resources to complement medical treatments. HealFast emphasizes that medication is only one component of a patient's overall health journey and intends to build a support ecosystem around this principle. Further details on the telehealth capabilities and metabolic health services are expected to be announced.
