LOS ANGELES, CA — September 11, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Sol y Vida Clinic (solyvidaclinic.com), a Latino-founded bilingual telehealth clinic, launched nationwide today as the biggest shift in metabolic medicine in decades reaches Latino communities unevenly: a 2024 national cohort study found Hispanic patients 47% less likely than White patients to be prescribed the newest GLP-1 medications, and the National Hispanic Medical Association estimates just 2% of eligible Latino patients access anti-obesity medications.

Language compounds the gap: 68% of Hispanics and Latinos speak a language other than English at home, per HHS. The clinic’s answer is medical weight loss and metabolic care from licensed telehealth clinicians in English and Spanish — atención médica en tu idioma — in all 50 states, opening as Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15.

“We created Sol y Vida to provide another option — one where patients can communicate comfortably, understand their care and have meaningful conversations with licensed healthcare professionals in the language they prefer,” said founder Edgar Estrada.

The launch comes as the FDA has sent three waves of warning letters since late 2025 over telehealth marketing of compounded GLP-1 medications. Sol y Vida takes the opposite posture: it is LegitScript-certified (verifiable at legitscript.com), publishes its program prices, and its press kit lists the claims it will not make. That philosophy — “recetado, no comprado” (prescribed, not purchased) — is outlined at solyvidaclinic.com/blog/por-que-recetado-no-comprado.

Care begins with a free 20-minute first consultation, with no commitment. Licensed clinicians determine whether treatment is medically appropriate and prescribe accordingly; programs include compounded semaglutide, dispensed by licensed compounding pharmacies. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved: the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. Individual results vary.
