FAQs
Q: What is a compounded GLP-1?
A: It’s a custom-made version of a GLP-1 created by a compounding pharmacy. These are tailored to your specific needs—like microdosing or alternative strengths not offered by the standard pens.
Q: Is it the same as Wegovy® or Zepbound®?
A: No. Wegovy and Zepbound are FDA-approved, mass-produced medications. No compounded versions are technically not FDA-approved, but are legally prescribed when the commercial drugs can’t meet the client’s personal needs or are in shortage. We do however only use a manufacturer that has been FDA inspected.
Q: Why would someone need a compounded version?
A: Common reasons include needing a smaller dose or in-between dose, doing a micro-dose for weight maintenance, taking it for health benefits such as PCOS, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, or other health benefits not related to weight loss and need alternate dosing schedules.
Q: Do you offer payment plans for your weight loss programs?
A: Yes! We partner with Cherry Payment Plans so you can split your $499 3-month enrollment fee for Wegovy® or Zepbound® into monthly payments. It’s quick to apply, doesn’t impact your credit, and has a high approval rate. You can apply right from your phone. We only offer this with your initial setup fee to cover your first 3 months of care. We also offer Care Credit.
Q: What does the $499 enrollment fee include?
A: That fee covers your full initial consultation, 3 months of medical oversight, lifestyle support app. If you choose Wegovy®, your first month of medication is free.
Q: Do I have to pay a monthly fee after the first 3 months?
A: If you want continued provider support, coaching, and refill management, our programs shift to $125/month starting in month 4. This helps keep you on track with check-ins, dose adjustments, and guidance.
Q: What about the medication—do I pay you for that?
A: No. After your first month on Wegovy®, you’ll pay Novo Nordisk directly ($499/month). For Zepbound®, you’ll pay Eli Lilly directly—$349/month one, then $499/month for higher doses.
Q: Can I use Cherry to pay for the medication too?
A: No, we do not offer payment plans for medications themselves. Medications are purchased directly from the manufacturer.
advisory note
The choice between Wegovy®, Zepbound®, and a compounded such as Liraglutide medication should be made in consultation with our medical professionals, considering factors such as medical history, treatment response, and personal need.
