The arrival of the GLP-1 agonist weight loss medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide has given real hope to the 75% of Americans (and climbing) who are overweight or obese.

Patients using these powerful appetite-suppressing medications lose 16-23% of their body weight on average—7x-10x more than with diet and exercise alone.

That’s the good news.

Unfortunately, GLP-1s are so powerful that—if not taken properly—they can cause severe gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, both micronutrient and macronutrient deficiencies, and severe muscle loss.

Many providers and clinics simply prescribe patients high doses of GLP-1 medications and hope for the best—often leading to poor outcomes.

At Voafit, instead of hoping for the best, we give you OUR best.

That’s the Voafit Difference.

You CAN lose excess body fat while maintaining your nutrition and energy, avoiding unnecessary side effects, preserving muscle, and reach your ideal body composition—enjoyably and sustainably.

Here are our 8 keys to sustainable medical weight loss—The Voafit way:

✅ PRECISION DOSING

One-size-and-dose does NOT fit all. Every week we precisely adjust your medication dosing to ensure you are taking exactly the amount you need to lose a maximum of 1-2 lb per week.

✅ FOCUS ON NUTRITION

Calorie restriction without a healthy, balanced diet of natural foods to ensure adequate protein and micronutrient intake is a recipe for disaster. Diet counseling and planning from a physician with special expertise in nutrition is included in every membership to ensure you get in enough of the foods you need to thrive.

✅ EXERCISE COUNSELING

It is absolutely critical that every patient taking GLP-1 medications engage in both resistance and cardiovascular training at a sufficient intensity in order to decrease or eliminate muscle loss. Intensive exercise counseling from a certified personal trainer is included in every membership.

✅ SAY NO TO SIDE EFFECTS

We teach you how GLP-1 medications changes your digestive physiology and show you HOW and WHEN to eat to decrease or eliminate GI side effects. You don’t have to be sick all the time to lose weight!

✅ POSITIVE ACCOUNTABILITY

Everyone can benefit from having an expert hand to hold along the way. Patients can reach their provider directly at any time, and we check in on every patient, every week to provide guidance, support, expertise, and motivation in addition to dosing adjustments.

✅ AFFORDABILITY

Patients should be able to access medications and lab testing without added mark-ups and fees. We work with each patient and their insurance companies to ensure all treatments and tests are obtained at the lowest possible cost to you.

✅ ACCESSIBILITY

Patients shouldn’t have to wait until they develop chronic health problems to qualify for GLP-1 treatment. Don’t have insurance or don’t meet your insurance company’s specific approval criteria? No problem! We partner with board-certified, third-party-tested compounding pharmacies to provide affordable medications to all patients who need them without compromising quality and safety.

✅ SUSTAINABILITY

Finally, while others might be thrilled to keep treating you forever—we are happiest when you don’t need us anymore! Once you reach your goal weight we will work with you to ensure that you don’t regain the weight and maintain the good habits you have developed during treatment.

Unlike many “quick-fix” clinics that leave patients sick and frustrated, Voafit provides real physician oversight, precision dosing, and affordable, compassionate, holistic care tailored to YOU and your needs.

My own journey, along with the success of countless Voafit patients, proves that real, lasting change is possible.

Glad you asked!

“Voa” means “Fly” or “Soar” in Portuguese, the language of the country where I spent much of my childhood.

A pretty good metaphor for finally reaching your potential when it comes to your health, don’t you think?

VOA is also an anagram of the first initials of my three beautiful children, who inspire me every day to live as long and healthy a life as I possibly can.

Our offices are located in Arlington, Texas, but all of our services may be performed via telemedicine.

We currently offer services to all U.S. states except for Alaska, California, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Concierge medicine is a healthcare model focused on putting the patient first.

That means treating them when they need it, never rushing patients through appointments, and being proactive with healthcare treatment plans.

Concierge clinics don’t accept insurance, rather they choose to work directly with the patient, providing wholesale labs and prescriptions and other costs savings along the way.

The restrictions that typically leave physicians in a traditional healthcare setting buried in nonsense paperwork are lifted through the concierge model, allowing us to spend our time where it really counts: with patients.

At Voafit we promise accessibility, convenience, and affordability, as well as a personal relationship with your provider.

Your monthly fee purchases you direct, anytime access to personalized care. All patients can contact Dr. Justl Ellis at any time at his personal cell number. We also reach out proactively to every patient, every week to make sure they are making progress and have absolutely everything they need to succeed.

Telemedicine appointments are also available for no additional charge beyond your membership fee.

One of the best benefits of being part of a concierge practice is that all Voafit patients can contact Dr. Justl Ellis directly at any time.

Text messaging is preferred for routine matters and medication refills, but phone calls are completely fine in time-sensitive emergencies.

Happily, no!

One critical distinction in our model of care centers on the formation of a direct, personal relationship between you and your doctor.

We forgo insurance payments in order to save our patients from the arbitrary, intrusive decisions that inevitably follow with third-party payors.

This direct fee-for-services arrangement frees us from the typical contractual agreements that prevent physicians from offering wholesale prices on laboratory tests and medications

Forgoing insurance payments also dramatically decreases our overhead costs. We pass on these savings to you in the form of lower member pricing.

We DO work with eligible patients to help ensure insurance coverage for their prescribed medications whenever possible.

HSA PAYMENTS

You may use Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to cover your membership cost.

Yes!

All payments to Voafit, including membership fees, are coded as eligible for payment via your personal or family Health Savings Account (HSA).

Drug compounding is the process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a medication tailored to the needs of an individual patient.

For patients who meet FDA treatment criteria, we will work with you to ensure your medications are covered by insurance.

For patients without insurance, you are welcome to pay cash prices for name-brand medications—and we can prescribe them to you! However, this is generally extremely expensive.

For patients for whom budget is a consideration, we partner with State Board of Pharmacy certified, third-party-tested compounding pharmacies to provide wholesale access to compounded medications. These medications are available at a fraction of the cost of name-brand medications without sacrificing quality, safety, or effectiveness.

The compounded medication we prescribe contain the exact same active pharmaceutical ingredient as “name brand” medications.
