Graded #123 · 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
Graded #406 · C
Strengths
- Requires a synchronous live audio-video visit with a New York-licensed clinician — prescriptions are never issued from the intake form alone
- Assessment and clinician review are free; you only pay if treatment is prescribed and you choose to proceed
- Names its legal entity (ThisGen, LLC) and specifies New York governing law in its terms
- No long-term contracts — plans can be paused or stopped
- The same clinician follows your care, with ongoing secure messaging between visits
Where it loses points
- Publishes no prices at all — 'We don't list flat prices on the website'; cost is disclosed only after a clinician reviews your assessment
- Serves New York only — 'we currently operate exclusively for patients located in New York'
- Dispensing pharmacies are not named, only described as 'licensed U.S. pharmacies'
- Does not state whether its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded or brand-name
- Does not bill insurance; verifying any reimbursement is the patient's responsibility
