Employers test subsidized GLP-1 access through eMed and CVS Caremark

Telehealth company eMed is partnering with CVS Caremark to let employers offer GLP-1 obesity meds to workers via online prescriptions with comprehensive weight-management support; employers can subsidize the drugs to varying degrees, with prices touted as the market’s most cost-effective option. Aon piloted a similar program for its staff, and CVS sees the move as expanding access through its PBM network for up to 30 million Americans. The program combines online cash purchases with secondary coverage to help keep workplace health costs in check, backed by continuous clinical support and monitoring to improve adherence and outcomes.

Protein May Fill You Up, But It Isn’t a Magic Weight-Loss Fix

Experts say higher-protein meals can increase fullness for about 3–4 hours and may modestly help with weight loss, but the effect is small and not guaranteed long-term. Protein is just one factor affecting appetite—the mood, genetics, and food environment matter too. For lasting fullness and health, prioritize protein from whole foods paired with fiber, aiming for about 20–30 g of protein and at least 8 g of fiber per meal, and include resistance training to preserve lean mass.

Meal timing fails to improve sleep, large TRE study finds

A 12-week trial of nearly 200 adults with overweight/obesity compared early, late, and flexible daily eating windows. Sleep duration, sleep quality, and mood were similar across all groups; the only notable difference was about 12 minutes more total sleep for early TRE vs usual care. The findings suggest that shifting dinner time alone is unlikely to meaningfully boost sleep, and practical decisions should be guided by personal schedules and hunger patterns rather than expecting a sleep payoff.
