Two ways to lose weight. One team on your side.
At Aura, you don't have to choose between "natural" and "medication-only." We offer a Natural Weight Loss path and a GLP-1 Care Path — and help you decide which is right for your body, your history and your goals.
Two paths. Same goal: a healthier, more sustainable you.
Whether you're GLP-1 curious, GLP-1 hesitant or just tired of going it alone, we'll meet you where you are and build a plan that respects both your health and your real life.
Natural Weight Loss path
Focuses on metabolism, cravings, energy, sleep and stress using natural and clinical-grade support — before medications are ever considered.
- Metabolic and blood-sugar support
- Craving and appetite regulation
- Energy, mood and sleep support
- Ideal if you want a medication-free or hybrid option
GLP-1 Care Path
When clinically appropriate, we use GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide) together with nutrient, metabolic and habit support — never as a stand-alone fix.
- GLP-1 prescription when indicated
- Metabolic and nutrient support around the medication
- Guidance on protein, movement and habits
- Ideal if your risk factors or history call for more support
A metabolic reset that respects your body.
This path is for people who want meaningful results without starting at medication. We support metabolism, cravings, energy and stress so change feels possible — and sustainable.
For "I've tried everything" dieters
You've done keto, fasting, macros and more — and want something structured without being extreme.
For metabolic slowdown
Weight gain around the midsection, slower loss after your 30s or 40s, or a strong family history.
For GLP-1 curious, not ready
You're open to medication if needed, but you'd rather start with a natural-first approach.
Blood-sugar & insulin support
For metabolic flexibilityHelps your body respond more efficiently to carbs and smooth out blood-sugar swings that drive cravings and crashes.
- Supports fat-burning over time
- Helps with steady, usable energy
Appetite and craving regulators
For fewer "white flag" momentsTargets brain and gut signals related to hunger, fullness and stress so you're not fighting yourself all day.
- Supports satiety and portion control
- Helps calm stress-driven snacking
Energy and recovery support
For a body that can actually follow the planWe support sleep and daily energy so movement and food changes feel realistic, not impossible.
- Helps with motivation to move
- Supports deeper, restorative sleep
Stress-balancing support
Because willpower isn't the whole storyWe help your nervous system work with you, not against you, so your plan doesn't fall apart every hard week.
- Supports calmer decision-making
- Fits busy, real-world routines
GLP-1s, used wisely — and never alone.
For some people, medication is appropriate and helpful. Our GLP-1 Care Path uses GLP-1s as a tool inside a full plan: nutrients, metabolism, movement and a clear "what next?" strategy.
Higher BMI & risk factors
Those with significant metabolic risk or history where adding medication makes clinical sense.
History of weight cycling
People who have lost and regained weight multiple times and need more structured medical support.
Need a stronger nudge
When your body needs a bigger push to change, and lifestyle alone hasn't been enough.
GLP-1 therapy (if appropriate)
Semaglutide / similar, as clinically indicatedPrescribed only after a thorough intake and eligibility review, and titrated with your provider.
- Helps reduce appetite and cravings
- Supports improvements in metabolic markers
Nutrient & lean mass support
To protect what you want to keepWe support protein intake, muscle and key nutrients so weight loss focuses more on fat than muscle.
- Helps protect strength and muscle
- Supports energy while appetite is lower
Habits you can live with
So your life expands, not contractsWe keep things simple: realistic movement, simple meals and routines that fit your capacity and season of life.
Check-ins & planning ahead
"On" and "after" the medicationWe don't just start you. We talk about what happens months later — and how to maintain what you've worked for.
Natural path vs GLP-1 path — at a glance.
There isn't a "better" path, only a better fit for you. Here's how we think about the difference.
| Aspect | Natural Weight Loss path | GLP-1 Care Path |
|---|---|---|
| Main focus | Metabolism, cravings, energy, stress and sleep. | Medication-assisted appetite control plus foundational support. |
| Best fit for | People seeking a medication-free or foundation-first route. | People with higher risk, more weight to lose or stalled progress. |
| Medication | No GLP-1s; may include other non-GLP-1 support if indicated. | GLP-1s when clinically appropriate, with close oversight. |
| Long-term plan | Habits + natural support that can be used indefinitely. | Plan includes a conversation about duration and how to maintain results. |
| Good starting point if you're unsure | Often the best place to start if you're GLP-1 hesitant. | A strong option if you and your provider agree you need more help now. |
