Weight care designed for South Asians.

Our clinicians prescribe compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide based on your individual health profile and medical history. The specific medication and dosage are determined during your clinician consultation. We partner with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies that follow strict state and federal guidelines. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by state-licensed pharmacies based on individual prescriptions from licensed providers.

No. GLP-1 medications are prescribed for weight management as well as diabetes. Many of our members are focused on metabolic health and weight loss, not diabetes treatment. If you have risk factors common in the South Asian community — family history of diabetes, insulin resistance, elevated A1C, or visceral fat concerns — you may be a good candidate regardless of a diabetes diagnosis.

Currently, Pathli operates as a direct-pay platform (no insurance billing). However, our pricing includes both the medication and care platform. We're actively pursuing insurance partnerships. In the meantime, our plans are HSA/FSA eligible, and we provide documentation you can submit for potential reimbursement.

You're in great company — a significant portion of our members are vegetarian. Unlike generic platforms that default to "eat more chicken breast," our dietary guidance is built around South Asian food patterns. Whether you're vegetarian, Jain, or have any other dietary considerations, our nutritional coaching works with your actual diet, not against it.

Those platforms are great — for a general audience. Pathli is purpose-built for South Asians. Our clinicians are trained on South Asian metabolic profiles. Our health assessments use ethnicity-adjusted thresholds (BMI 23, not 25). Our dietary guidance is built around roti, rice, and dal — not generic meal plans. And our community understands the specific cultural context of your health journey. We're not just another telehealth platform with a different logo.

Common side effects include mild nausea, especially in the first few weeks as your body adjusts. Our clinicians start you on a low dose and gradually increase it, which significantly reduces side effects. We also provide specific guidance on managing side effects within the context of South Asian diets. Your clinician monitors you throughout your journey and adjusts your plan as needed.
