About Hume Care
What does the Hume Care program actually include?
Hume Care reaches well past a standard GLP-1 prescription. It brings together prescription medication, Glycine/B12/B6 supplementation to guard muscle and ease side effects, monthly 3D body composition scans that separate fat from lean mass, continuous physician fine-tuning as your body responds, and the Hume Health app for tracking medication and messaging your clinician directly.
What makes Hume Care different from other GLP-1 programs?
Most GLP-1 programs stop at a prescription and a once-a-month check-in. Hume Care builds an entire system around you instead: medication calibrated to your body and adjusted continuously, supplementation that protects muscle while fat comes off, monthly 3D scans showing precisely what's shifting and why, and a physician with the data to fine-tune your program in real time. The payoff is 60% higher fat loss and 80% more muscle retained versus typical programs.
Is Hume Care actually safe?
Hume Care relies on clinically proven, FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, prescribed only to qualifying patients by licensed US physicians. Muscle-protecting supplementation (Glycine, B12, B6) and continuous physician monitoring are built in to manage side effects and keep patients safe across the entire program.
Qualifying & The Assessment
Do I qualify for Hume Care?
Hume Care is open to adults across the United States, and the free 60-second assessment confirms whether you qualify. In general, candidates carry a BMI of 27 or higher paired with a weight-related health condition (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea, for example), or a BMI of 30 or higher on its own. A physician reviews your complete health history before anything gets prescribed.
Is an in-person clinic visit required?
No. Hume Care operates entirely through telehealth. Your assessment, prescription, and every ongoing consultation happen inside the Hume Health app or over secure video call. Medication and supportive therapies ship free to your door, next-day.
Medication & The Program
Which GLP-1 medication will I be given?
Your Hume Care physician picks whichever medication suits you best — typically semaglutide or tirzepatide — grounded in your medical history, current health, and weight loss goals. Dosage gets calibrated to your body and reviewed monthly as your program moves forward and your body adapts.
What role do the Glycine, B12, and B6 supplements play?
These three supportive therapies come standard with every Hume Care program. Glycine helps hold onto lean muscle mass — something GLP-1 medication alone tends to chip away at. B12 and B6 ease common GLP-1 side effects like nausea and fatigue, making the whole experience easier to sustain.
How soon will results start showing?
Most members notice appetite changes and early weight loss within 4–8 weeks. The program typically delivers 5–10% body weight lost in the first 3 months, 10–20% by month 6, and keeps building from there. Results vary depending on starting weight, consistency, and individual physiology.
3D Body Scans
What does the monthly 3D body scan actually measure?
Monthly 3D body composition scans separate fat mass from lean muscle mass — not simply a number on a scale. That data gives your physician a precise read on what's actually leaving your body (fat versus muscle), so adjustments can protect your metabolism and keep you losing the right kind of weight.
Where do I see my scan results?
Every scan result lands directly in the Hume Health app, alongside progress graphs tracking fat loss and lean mass over time. Your physician reviews the results and may adjust your program based on what they show.
Shipping & Logistics
How quickly does medication reach me?
Once your prescription clears approval, medication ships with free next-day delivery anywhere in the United States. Packaging stays discreet, with nothing on the box hinting at the contents.
Does insurance or FSA/HSA cover Hume Care?
Coverage hinges on your specific insurance plan and state. A good number of members apply FSA or HSA dollars toward their Hume Care subscription, since physician-prescribed medication and medical services often qualify. Our clinical team can advise on your particular situation during the assessment.
Guarantee & Cancelling
What's actually behind the money-back promise?
Hume Care promises you'll shed at least 10% of your body weight within 6 months of following the program. Fall short of that, and you get a complete refund. Full terms — including what counts as following the program — sit at humecare.net/returns/.
Can I cancel whenever I feel like it?
Yes — no fee, no penalty, no questions. Your clinical team also walks you through a post-medication maintenance plan, so results are easier to hold onto once you've stopped.
