The GLP-1 Consultant
I help GLP-1 founders build companies patients actually trust.
I'm Amanda Bonello — a GLP-1 patient advocate turned consultant, and host of a top-ranked GLP-1 podcast. My work has been featured by WIRED, Reuters, The New York Times, USA Today, CNBC, and Politico. I help the founders and builders shaping GLP-1 — telehealth platforms, aggregators and data sites, and consumer brands — build businesses patients actually trust. Because before I built companies, I fought for patients.

Our method
The Trust Framework™
A single, repeatable method for building GLP-1 companies patients actually trust — pairing business strategy with compliance operations, so the promise you make is one you can keep.
01
Diagnose
Patient insight and an honest audit of where trust breaks — in the message, the funnel, and the operation.
02
Position
A trust-first brand and narrative that speaks to the real GLP-1 patient, not the category cliché.
03
Fortify
The compliance and operational guardrails that make the promise real — policies, review, and process that scale.
04
Grow
Turn earned trust into the retention and referral that compounds — the growth patients stay for.
The team
Strategy and operations, from one team
I bring the strategy. My partner, Christie Clutter, brings the operations and compliance — so the founders we work with get the plan and the company that delivers it. Two founders, one integrated offer.

Questions
Common questions
What kind of companies do you work with?
GLP-1 and weight-management telehealth platforms, clinics, aggregators, and consumer wellness brands — from funded startups preparing to launch to established companies scaling patient acquisition and retention.
How much does it cost?
There are no fixed public prices. Every engagement is scoped and quoted to your situation on a complimentary consultation, so you only invest in the work you actually need — a focused sprint, ongoing advisory, or embedded execution.
Do you handle compliance, not just strategy?
Yes. That's the difference here — strategy and compliance operations come from one team. Co-founder Christie Clutter (CCEP, PHR) builds the policies, guardrails, and processes a regulated telehealth business needs, so the brand promise you make is one you can actually keep.
Can we start with a single strategy session?
Absolutely. Many clients begin with a fixed-scope Strategy Sprint on a specific decision — positioning, a launch, or go-to-market — and continue into an advisory or embedded relationship if it's a fit.
What makes GLP-1 Consultant different from a general marketing agency?
Deep GLP-1 specialization and lived patient perspective. Amanda is one of the most publicly quoted GLP-1 patient advocates in the space — the work is built on how real patients decide who to trust, not generic healthcare marketing.
How do we get started?
Book a complimentary consultation. We'll talk through where you are and what you need, shape the right engagement together, and if it's a fit, begin the work.
