Good to know

Questions, answered.

Everything you might be wondering before you start — how it works, what it costs, and whether it's right for you.

Getting started

How does it work?

Take a 2-minute health assessment, a licensed provider reviews it, and if treatment is right for you, your medication ships to your door — with ongoing care the whole way.

Who's eligible?

A licensed provider makes the decision, but the criteria are not a secret. A BMI of 28 or above qualifies on its own. Between 24 and 27.9 you qualify with one weight-related condition — high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, fatty liver, PCOS, heart disease, weight-related joint pain, or a family history of weight-related health issues. Below that there is a maintenance lane for people already holding a loss on a GLP-1. We do not treat type 1 or type 2 diabetes. You do not need a hundred pounds to lose — we wrote the whole thing out here, with a BMI check.

Do I have to go to a clinic?

No. Everything happens online — the visit, the provider review, and delivery. No waiting rooms.

How fast will I get my medication?

Once your provider approves your visit, it ships straight to you — usually within a few days.

The medication

What's the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1; tirzepatide is dual-action (GLP-1 + GIP) and tends to deliver stronger results. Your provider helps you choose the right fit.

Are these the same as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro?

They use the same active ingredients (semaglutide and tirzepatide) as those brand names. Your provider determines what's appropriate for you.

How is it taken?

A simple once-weekly injection, with provider-guided dosing that starts low and adjusts over time.

What about side effects?

Common side effects can include nausea and digestive changes, especially early on. Your care team helps you manage them — and you can message them anytime.

Reordering & care

How do I reorder?

Tap Reorder and answer a quick check-in — your provider reviews it, usually the same day, and your refill ships. There's no subscription — nothing auto-charges, and we'll remind you before you run low. No phone calls needed.

Can I message my provider?

Yes — unlimited messaging with your care team is included.

Pricing & safety

What's included in the price?

Your medication, the provider's care, ongoing check-ins, and free shipping — all in one flat price. No hidden fees.

Is this a subscription?

No. You buy a supply one time and reorder only when you're ready — nothing auto-charges. No contracts, no cancellation fees.

Are these real doctors, and is my information private?

Every visit is reviewed by a licensed U.S. provider, and your information is kept private and HIPAA-protected.
