Glossary
Telehealth terms without the sales fog.
Use this page to understand the words that show up before a medical weight-loss, GLP-1, peptide, or sermorelin consult.
GLP-1 and weight-loss telehealth
- GGLP-1: A hormone pathway involved in appetite, blood sugar signaling, and digestion. Prescription GLP-1 drugs require medical evaluation.
- FFood noise: A consumer phrase for frequent, intrusive thoughts about food, snacks, portions, or cravings. It is useful language, not a diagnosis.
- CCompounded GLP-1: A medication prepared by a compounding pharmacy. The FDA says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved finished drug products.
- EEligibility: The provider's decision after reviewing health history, state rules, medication risks, and fit. A quiz result is not a prescription.
- DDose escalation: A provider-directed dose change over time. Buyers should ask whether price changes when dose changes.
Sermorelin and peptide telehealth
- SSermorelin: A prescription peptide discussed in some wellness and longevity telehealth programs. Be skeptical of pages that promise anti-aging, fat loss, sleep, or recovery outcomes.
- OOral lozenge or troche: A small dosage form placed in the mouth. Strut publicly describes its oral sermorelin as a compounded lozenge.
- PProvider review: A licensed clinician reviews the intake before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.
- WWarnings: Safety information, exclusions, and possible side effects listed by the provider. These should be read before a consult request.
Buyer and disclosure terms
- AAffiliate link: A tracked link that may pay the publisher a commission if a user signs up or buys. The price should not increase because of it.
- SSponsored link: A link that may earn the publisher a commission. It should be clearly disclosed before you click.
- DDisclosure: A plain statement that tells you when a site may earn money from a link or recommendation.
- CComparison question: A practical question about cost, checklist, alternatives, reviews, or how-to steps that shows what you are trying to compare.
Terms that need extra caution: cure, reverse aging, guaranteed fat loss, no side effects, FDA-approved compounded drug, exact same as branded, works for everyone, and doctor-approved for you. Those phrases can create medical, regulatory, or trust problems.
