Transforming Lives Through Affordable Health Solutions
LifeFit Medication Initiative
The LifeFit Medication Initiative is a vital program by Kris Cares Foundation designed to provide financial assistance and support to individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues linked to conditions such as PCOS, hormone imbalances, thyroid disorders, and prediabetes. These complex conditions contribute to many difficulties in weight management that require dietary management and additional health support beyond the limited management in traditional healthcare settings. Our goal is to make life-changing GLP-1 medications accessible and affordable for those who need them, helping patients manage their weight and improve their overall health and quality of life.
Who Can Benefit from the LifeFit Medication Initiative?
The LifeFit Medication Initiative is specifically tailored for individuals facing obesity or significant weight-related health challenges that are often associated with underlying conditions, including:
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): A hormonal disorder that can cause weight gain, infertility, and other health issues.
Hormone Imbalances: Conditions that disrupt normal hormone levels, leading to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
Thyroid Disorders: Hypothyroidism and other thyroid issues that can slow metabolism and contribute to weight gain.
Prediabetes: Elevated blood sugar levels that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, often associated with obesity.
Our Approach
By reducing the cost of essential GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide) to an affordable co-pay, we empower patients to take control of their health, lose weight effectively, and manage their related conditions.
