Per month, to start*
Brand-name GLP-1 injections can run $500–$1,350 a month depending on pharmacy and program. Our physician-supervised program delivers real medication and real medical care — often for less, with B12 and oversight included, transparent monthly pricing, and no insurance runaround.
See full pricing & what's included* Starting price applies to semaglutide (0.25 mg). Every semaglutide and tirzepatide dose tier is listed on our full pricing page.
HOW IT WORKS
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural gut hormone your body releases after you eat. Working together, they help you eat less without the constant fight against hunger.
They slow how quickly your stomach empties, so a normal meal keeps you satisfied for hours.
They turn down appetite and the “food noise,” so you're not thinking about the next snack all day.
They help regulate blood sugar and insulin response, which supports steadier energy and fat loss.
Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 pathway. Tirzepatide is a newer, dual-action medication that works on GLP-1 and a second pathway (GIP), which is why many patients see even greater results.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
The only way to know for sure is a physician evaluation — that's the first step in our program, and it's done in person with me.
I review your full history personally before we begin.
SEMAGLUTIDE vs TIRZEPATIDE
| Semaglutide + B12 | Tirzepatide + B12 | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Activates the GLP-1 pathway | Dual-action: GLP-1 + GIP |
| Typical starting dose | 0.25 mg / week | 2.5 mg / week |
| Our monthly price | $199–$289 | $269–$439 |
| Often chosen by | Patients new to GLP-1, or cost-conscious | Patients wanting the newer, dual-action option |
| B12 included | Every dose | Every dose |
Both are a once-weekly injection, both start low and increase slowly, and both are supervised in person by me. Which one fits you is a decision we make together at your evaluation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Results vary from person to person and depend on the medication, your dose, and the changes you make alongside it. In large clinical studies, patients lost a meaningful percentage of their body weight over about a year, and many also saw improvements in blood sugar and blood pressure.
GLP-1 therapy works best as part of a plan, not a quick fix. We pair your medication with nutrition and lifestyle guidance — so the results you reach are results you can keep.

I'm Dr. Nilesh Desai, a board-certified internal medicine physician and co-founder of Family Medical Doctors. This isn't a website that mails you a prescription — every patient in our weight-loss program is evaluated, dosed, and followed by me personally, with the same team that already knows your health.
That means real medical oversight, honest answers, and a plan built around your life — not a one-size-fits-all script. If something comes up along the way, you have a doctor who knows you, not a chatbot.
