Graded #225 · C
Strengths
- Offers both injectable and oral-capsule compounded GLP-1 — a needle-free option many providers do not carry
- Semaglutide from $269/mo and tirzepatide from $349/mo, in 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month bundles
- LegitScript-certified; clinician-guided with lab/bloodwork analysis and personalized plans
- Intro pricing on injectable semaglutide ($269, was $319) and oral semaglutide ($299, was $349)
Where it loses points
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Compounding pharmacy partner and prescribing clinician are not named on the site
- State availability is not published on the site
Graded #115 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified; physician-owned Livea Medical PLLC; Medical Director Dr. Paul Olson, internal medicine/nephrology, 40 years experience
- Compounded sema from $99/mo and tirz from $199/mo — significantly cheaper than brand Ozempic/Wegovy ($1,000+/mo self-pay)
- Comprehensive program: InBody scans, registered dietitian nutrition counseling, health coaching, and regular provider check-ins included
- 15+ years established (founded 2011); 50,000+ clients served; voted Minnesota's Best Weight Loss Program 5 consecutive years
- Medications shipped to door; same-day consultations; in-person or telehealth; typically HSA/FSA eligible
Where it loses points
- Telehealth limited to 4 states only (MN, WI, IA, FL) — unavailable to most of the US; primarily a regional clinic network
- Pricing ambiguous: $69/mo program fee plus separate medication cost ($99/mo sema) may bring GLP-1 total to ~$168/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide availability uncertain — FDA announced shortage end in 2026; access subject to eligibility
- Labs (bloodwork) not explicitly included in any published program tier; confirmed at consultation only
- Strong MN/WI clinic focus; telehealth reach into IA and FL is newer and less established than core markets
