# LIV by WellNow review

One compounded semaglutide membership at $195 a month, sold in five states, with its dose schedule printed on the page.

## The verdict

LIV by WellNow sells one thing, compounded semaglutide, as a membership at $195 a month that includes the medication, supplies and unlimited virtual visits, and it prints the average dose schedule beside that price. Paying for three months at once brings the rate to $175 a month, and a higher dose costs more once a provider approves it.

A weight-loss membership from a sister brand of WellNow Urgent Care, open only to adults in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania who meet a BMI threshold of 30, or 27 alongside a condition like hypertension.

1.  ## Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
    
    An online health assessment comes first, with height and weight, and some applicants are asked to meet a provider to go over history and goals before the membership is approved. The providers are described as board-certified and online, and same-day approval is offered, though the site does not name any of them.
    
    Once approved, the medication arrives at home once a month with instructions, and the weekly doses run alongside unlimited virtual visits for questions or advice. Payment is out of pocket because no insurance is accepted, though an FSA or HSA may cover the membership depending on the individual plan.
    
2.  ## What happens when the dose goes up?
    
    The page prints the schedule: 0.25 mg weekly for weeks one to four, 0.5 mg for weeks five to eight, and 1 mg from week nine, held there as maintenance. The $195 covers that average path; a patient whose provider moves them above it pays a published higher-dose rate, which needs provider approval, and that is the part of the year a budget should leave room for.
    
3.  ## What the price includes
    
    Month to month the membership is $195, so six months at that rate comes to $1,170, and paying a quarter at a time in one charge lowers it to $175 a month, or $525 per payment. Both figures belong to the average dose, and the higher-dose tier costs more on either schedule.
    
4.  ## What it claims, and what it cites
    
    The medication is compounded [semaglutide](https://thisglp.com/research/semaglutide-cochrane-review), and the site states plainly that it is not approved or evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality. No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the pages, and no tirzepatide option is offered alongside it.
    

## Where it holds up, and where it does not

-   Strength: Dose schedule printed in milligrams
-   Strength: Medication, supplies and visits in one price
-   Strength: Quarterly payment lowers the monthly rate
-   Limitation: Available in five states only
-   Limitation: Higher doses move to a dearer tier
-   Limitation: No compounding pharmacy is named
-   Limitation: No tirzepatide option is offered

## What the evidence says about this kind of treatment

The assessment above is about LIV by WellNow. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.

Right for

A reader in one of the five states who wants to see the dose path before paying.

Wrong for

A reader outside Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania, or one who wants tirzepatide.

## The evidence behind what LIV by WellNow prescribes

These studies examine the medicines, not this provider. Results with approved products do not establish the quality or effectiveness of a seller’s compounded formulation.

-   [Cochrane Review of Semaglutide for Obesity: 18 Trials Graded](https://thisglp.com/research/semaglutide-cochrane-review)
    
    A 2025 Cochrane review pooled eighteen randomized trials. The weight figure is high certainty and smaller than the marketing, and almost everything else is graded lower.

Is LIV by WellNow legit?

LIV by WellNow is a GLP-1 telehealth sellers service. Its stated availability: IL, IN, MI, NY, PA. What our record does not establish: whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay.

Is LIV by WellNow expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?

LIV by WellNow publishes a starting figure of $195/mo. Across the 402 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $525.42 with a median of $190, which puts LIV by WellNow above the median. The other 178 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
