Telehealth provider Luma Health adds a budget planner, BMI calculator and weight-change tool that show their formulas and make no outcome predictions
Dover, Delaware, November 12, 2026 -- Luma Health, a telehealth provider of physician-guided weight-management programs, today announced the availability of a free set of online calculators for people researching GLP-1 treatment. Luma Health has also published the editorial and medical review standards that govern its public health content, including how automated tools may be used in producing it.
The tools are open to anyone, require no account, and do not determine treatment eligibility. Each one displays the formula behind its result and the sources it relies on.
Three tools, with the math shown
The Luma Health calculators page brings together three tools: - Cost and budget planner. Users enter a quote from any provider, including medication, care or membership fees, shipping and one-time charges, and see the total over a chosen number of months. The fields contain no Luma Health prices and no competitor offers. The stated aim is to help people compare total spending rather than an advertised starting price. - Adult BMI calculator. The tool uses the standard CDC formula for adults aged 20 and older. It presents body mass index as one screening measure, not a diagnosis, and directs pregnant users to pregnancy-specific guidance instead of returning a category. - Weight-change scenario. Users choose a percentage between 1 and 30 and see what it means in pounds or kilograms. The tool generates no timeline and does not label any figure as an expected result of semaglutide, tirzepatide or any other medication.
Every tool lists its methods and sources, which include the CDC, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the FDA. Luma Health notes on the page that using the planner does not create a quote, a charge, a prescription or an enrollment.
Why Luma Health built the tools this way
Online GLP-1 care has grown quickly, and so has the volume of marketing around it. Prospective patients often meet headline monthly prices that leave out fees, and weight-loss projections drawn from clinical trial averages that cannot forecast one person's outcome.
Luma Health's tools take the opposite approach. The budget planner works only with numbers the user supplies. The weight-change tool states plainly that a group average from a clinical trial is not a reliable forecast for an individual, and that data from an FDA-approved product cannot be presented as proof of what a compounded preparation will do.
Published standards for health content
Alongside the tools, Luma Health has published its editorial and medical review standards. The document sets out how the company sources factual claims, how readers can report a possible error, and how commercial statements such as prices and cancellation terms must stay consistent with current policy pages.
The standards also address AI-assisted production directly. Automated tools may help with research organization, drafting, quality checks and formatting. They do not replace source verification, medical judgment or human approval of material medical and business facts. Under the standards, pages must not invent sources, credentials, outcomes or commercial terms.
Availability
The calculators and the editorial standards are available now on the Luma Health website at no cost.
