Healthy parents.
Strong families.
Modern GLP-1 and metabolic care, doctor-guided and built around South Asian bodies, food, and families. Telehealth in Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali.
Care is provided by independent licensed providers. Any treatment — including prescription GLP-1 medication — is offered only after a full medical evaluation, if the provider decides it is appropriate.
Elders treated with the dignity they deserve.
A class of prescription medications — not a shortcut.
Only a licensed provider can decide if a GLP-1 is right for your parent. It is paired with nutrition, movement, and ongoing follow-up.

GLP-1,
explained plainly.
You've heard about GLP-1 medications from a neighbor, on the news, or in the family WhatsApp group. Here's what we tell every family — the same thing, without hype.
Educational information only. Not medical advice. Swasth does not prescribe medication. Any prescription — including a GLP-1 — is offered only if an independent licensed provider determines, after a full medical evaluation, that it is appropriate for that individual. Not every person is a candidate.
Prescription-only
GLP-1 medications require a licensed provider's evaluation and prescription. No shortcuts, no shortcuts online.
Not just weight
GLP-1s were first developed for type 2 diabetes. Providers evaluate the whole metabolic picture — blood sugar, blood pressure, medications, lifestyle.
Strength is the goal
Every plan is built around preserving muscle and mobility — especially critical for older adults.
Paired with real food
A GLP-1, if prescribed, is one part of a plan that includes vegetarian-forward, protein-adequate nutrition.
Care that walks alongside your parents — not around them.
Vegetarian-first nutrition, senior-safe protocols, and consultations your whole family can join.
Our bodies, our kitchens, our elders.
Metabolic risk shows up earlier and at lower weights in South Asians. Care that ignores this fails our families.
BMI threshold · not 25
Risk arrives at a lower weight.
The American Diabetes Association recommends diabetes screening for Asian Americans starting at BMI 23 — not 25. A parent who looks "fine" may already be at risk.
Dal. Roti. Sabzi. They stay on the table.
Vegetarian-first nutrition guidance built around a South Asian pantry — not around foods your parents will never eat.
Treated the way we treat family.
Unhurried visits. No condescension. A provider who understands what a joint family looks like — and who asks about your mother's blood pressure before her BMI.
Simple. Unhurried. Human.

Medicare rules changed on July 1, 2026.
For the first time, a Medicare demonstration program includes coverage for certain weight-management medications for eligible beneficiaries. The rules are new, the paperwork is real — and most families are hearing about it for the first time.
We help families understand the program, gather the right documentation, and know what to ask a provider. We do not make coverage decisions.
- New Medicare demonstration program running July 2026 through December 2027
- $50 monthly copay for covered weight-management medications under the program
- Requires prior authorization and specific eligibility criteria
- Not every person will qualify — coverage is decided by Medicare, not by Swasth
Educational content only. Not medical or insurance advice. Coverage details subject to change; verify with Medicare.
Bring the whole family into the room.
Join telehealth visits from any city. Get plain-language updates by WhatsApp or phone in your parent's language.
"In our culture, caring for our parents isn't a duty — it's an honor."
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Whether your parents live down the street or across an ocean, Swasth is built for the person coordinating care — usually a son or daughter juggling work, kids, and a phone that never stops ringing.
Care built for the body of a 65-year-old, not a 25-year-old.
Strength, mobility, and dignity — measured by whether your parent can walk to the temple, lift a grandchild, and cook a full meal without getting winded.
Strength comes first
Protein-forward vegetarian nutrition and muscle preservation are the foundation. We are not chasing a number — we are protecting the ability to walk to the temple, lift a grandchild, cook a full meal.
Full medication review
Before anything is added, the licensed provider reviews the medications your parent is already taking. Safety is the starting point, not an afterthought.
Ongoing check-ins
Care doesn't end at the first visit. Regular follow-ups, gentle nudges, and a care team that knows your parent by name.

“The provider spoke to my mother in Gujarati and explained everything twice, slowly. For the first time she didn't feel rushed at a doctor's visit.”
“They reviewed every single medication my father was already on before suggesting anything new. That care meant a lot to our family.”
“My wife and I joined the telehealth visit from two different cities. The care team sends WhatsApp updates we can actually understand.”
