Check your BMI
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a measurement that uses your height and weight to estimate if your weight is in a healthy range for your height.
Underweight
< 18.5
Your BMI falls in the underweight range. Consider reaching out to your healthcare provider for advice.
Healthy Weight
18.5 - 24.9
Your BMI indicates that you’re within the health weight range and don’t need to lose weight.
BMI does not measure body composition directly, and it may not accurately reflect the health or wellness of individuals of a specific race/ethnic group, those with high muscle mass, pregnant women, children, the elderly, or those with specific health conditions. BMI should not be used as a sole diagnostic tool.
The BMI calculator does not determine eligibility for any weight loss medications or treatments provided via the Hims/Hers platform. Consultation with a healthcare provider is required to assess suitability for any medical treatment based on individual health and medical history.
BMI may not be accurate for children, pregnant women, or older adults.

Who qualifies for weight loss treatments at Hims?
A state-licensed provider reviews the health history, weight loss goals, and unique patient needs of every individual patient to see if they qualify before prescribing any kind of treatment.
Are GLP-1s available in all states?
Unfortunately, GLP-1s are not yet available in all 50 states; however, Hims is working to expand our offering as soon as possible.
How long do I need to stay on medication?
Medication is a long-term use weight loss treatment not meant for short-term use. When you stop taking it, the triggers that previously drove unhealthy eating behaviors may return. Always speak with a licensed medical provider before stopping treatment.
When will I see weight loss results?
Remember, results aren’t instant. Because everyone’s weight loss journey is different, the timeline for results may vary from person to person.
What are meal replacement bars and shakes?
Healthy meal replacement bars and shakes make nutrition simple with convenient, great-tasting, and balanced daily support. Maintaining protein intake is key to supporting muscle mass while taking weight loss medication. Meal replacement bars and shakes can serve as a valuable source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, which is important when appetite is suppressed.
