Provider review
LifeMD review
Board-certified physicians and brand access, with a program fee on top.
The program fee is charged separately from the medication, so the two figures add rather than replace.

In one paragraph
The verdict
You can move between brand-name and compounded here without changing provider — one of the few that pair brand partnerships with a compounded arm that includes a low-dose semaglutide option, and it puts board-certified physicians, prior authorization and insurance navigation behind that — genuinely useful if you are trying to get a brand-name product covered. The cost structure is the trade: the program fee is charged on top of the medication, so the two numbers add. There is no included registered-dietitian support in the base program, and the compounded arm carries the usual post-shortage regulatory and sourcing exposure.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want help getting a brand-name GLP-1 approved through insurance
- You want a compounded low-dose option available as a fallback
- You want board-certified physicians running the evaluation
Look elsewhere if
- You are comparing on all-in cost — the program fee stacks on the medication
- You want dietitian support in the base program
- You want a single flat rate rather than two recurring charges

- $59–$1,300/mo is the full published spread on this site
- Structure
- Charges less for less
Publishes a named low-dose product at a lower price than its own full-dose equivalent. Taking a smaller amount genuinely costs less here, which is the structure this page is looking for.
37 of the 407 programs here price a small dose this way. A compounded semaglutide microdose option priced beneath its own standard compounded semaglutide, under a separately charged program fee.

How the program works
Board-certified physicians run the evaluation and prior-authorization/insurance navigation. LifeMD pairs Lilly/Novo brand partnerships (brand Wegovy/Zepbound) with a compounded arm that includes a low-dose semaglutide microdose option. The program fee is charged separately from the medication, so the totals stack.
The honest cons
Program fee ($149/mo) is charged on top of the medication — total cost stacks
- Compounded arm carries post-shortage regulatory and sourcing exposure

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
