Understanding the science behind semaglutide, tirzepatide, and other GLP-1 treatments.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. These medications mimic that hormone at higher, sustained levels, helping regulate appetite and blood sugar.
These medications slow down how fast food leaves your stomach, helping you feel full longer. This naturally reduces calorie intake without the constant willpower battle of traditional dieting.
GLP-1 medications require a prescription from a licensed provider. The telehealth platforms listed above connect you with licensed prescribers who evaluate your health history and determine if treatment is appropriate.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and constipation — especially when starting or increasing dosage. Most are temporary and manageable. Your provider will help adjust dosing as needed.
Important: GLP-1 medications are generally prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30+ (or 27+ with weight-related health conditions). A licensed provider will evaluate whether you're a candidate during your consultation.
One of the biggest decisions you'll make is whether to go with brand-name or compounded GLP-1 medications.
FDA-approved and manufactured by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Extensive clinical trial data. Gold standard, premium price.
Typical cost: $800–$1,600+/month without insurance
Best for: Patients who want the exact FDA-approved formulation and can afford the cost or have insurance coverage.
Made by licensed compounding pharmacies using the same active ingredient. Legal alternatives offered by most telehealth providers at a fraction of the cost.
Typical cost: $150–$500/month depending on provider
Best for: Patients who want GLP-1 treatment without insurance coverage or at a more accessible price point.
Note: The FDA's position on compounded GLP-1 medications has evolved. Compounding is permitted when there is a documented shortage of the brand-name drug, or under other specific conditions. Always verify with your provider that your medication comes from a licensed, inspected compounding pharmacy.
Common questions
No. Most providers listed are cash-pay / subscription-based and bypass insurance entirely. This is often faster and cheaper than the insurance route for GLP-1s. HSA and FSA cards are typically accepted. Sesame Care is the exception — it's built to work with insurance for brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound.
Most providers review your consultation within 24–48 hours. If approved, medication typically ships within a few business days. Total time from sign-up to receiving your medication is usually 3–7 days.
Both are injectable GLP-1 medications used for weight loss. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) targets one receptor (GLP-1). Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) targets two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP), which may produce greater weight loss in some patients. Your provider will recommend which is better for your situation.
Compounded medications from licensed, state-inspected pharmacies use the same active ingredient as brand-name drugs. However, they are not individually FDA-approved. The key is ensuring your provider sources from a reputable, licensed compounding pharmacy. Ask about their pharmacy's licensing and inspection history.
Short answer: no — in most cases it does the opposite. Research shows significant weight loss can normalize testosterone levels in men with obesity-related low-T. Muscle loss during rapid weight loss is a real concern; that's a training and protein intake problem, not a hormone problem.
For compounded GLP-1, Embody starts at $149/month and Gala offers a flat $179/month regardless of dose. For brand-name medications, Sesame Care offers transparent pricing with potential insurance integration. Prices change frequently — click through to each provider for current rates.
