Nuestra Rx launches nationwide with medical weight-loss care built in Spanish from the ground up

MIAMI, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For millions of Hispanic adults in the United States, getting help with their weight starts with a barrier that comes before any doctor: a health system that is hard to navigate and rarely speaks their language. Nuestra Rx, a telehealth company launched in 2026, is working to change that. The company now serves patients in all 50 states, offering access to GLP-1 weight-loss treatment with every step in Spanish, from the first question to ongoing support.

The need is significant. Nearly 8 in 10 Hispanic adults in the U.S. live with overweight or obesity, more than half of the nation’s 68 million Hispanics. Among Hispanic women age 20 and older, the figure reaches 80%, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

“As a Latino, I know how confusing the U.S. health system can be, even when you speak the language,” said Matheus F., founder and CEO of Nuestra Rx. “For someone who doesn’t, it can feel impossible. I kept thinking about a Latina mom in her fifties who wants to take care of her health and doesn’t know where to start. Health has always been my passion, and Nuestra Rx is my way of giving back: care that speaks her language, from the very first step.”

Patients begin with a short online evaluation in Spanish. A U.S.-licensed physician reviews each case and, when treatment is appropriate, issues a prescription. Medication is shipped directly to the patient’s home, and patients can reach the Nuestra Rx team in Spanish for support throughout their treatment.

Nuestra Rx was built with a technology-first approach. The company uses modern tools, including AI, to run the operational side of the business more efficiently, such as keeping patients updated on their orders, organizing follow-ups and streamlining internal processes. These tools are never used to diagnose, prescribe or make medical decisions. All clinical care is provided by licensed physicians.

“Technology lets us move faster and keep patients informed, so our team can spend more time on what matters: helping people,” said Willian Cajazeiras, CTO of NuestraRx.

Nuestra Rx is LegitScript-certified and available to adults in all 50 states. To learn more, visit www.nuestrarx.com.

Compounded medications are not approved by the FDA. Prescriptions are issued only when a licensed physician determines treatment is appropriate.
