GLP-1 medication sits inside a medical weight loss program, and the price is the sum of its parts. Dose, labs and visit cadence are what drive the total cost of the program.
The number you see in your first month can differ from the number you see later. Dose, how long you stay on the medication and the payment path you choose all move it.

Priced before changes
The program has clear pieces: the initial assessment, ongoing visits and support, the GLP-1 medication itself, and labs when clinically needed. Education, nutrition guidance and exit planning are part of it too.
Labs are ordered only when a test is needed to read your metabolic picture, and each one is quoted first. Dr. Sarah reads any recent results you already have before ordering anything new.

What GLP-1 cost covers
Your first step is a free discovery call with Dr. Sarah. The initial assessment that follows is $400, where she reviews your history, your medications, and the diets you have already tried before recommending anything.
Dr. Sarah reads your labs and your history, then recommends a GLP-1 medication or a path without medication at all. You are never pushed toward the priciest option.
The assessment is where dose, labs and visit cadence get decided — and those three are what drive the total cost of the program.
What changes the number as you go
Month one · what you start with
Early spend covers the $400 initial assessment, your first visits, and the medication at the dose you begin on. The discovery call before all of it is free, and every line is quoted to you before you fill a prescription.
Dose changes · priced first
Most people do not stay where they started. Dr. Sarah talks through the dose range your body is likely to need before you commit, so the change is never a shock.
Long term · total spend
Some patients use the medication for a defined window, then move to a maintenance plan. Others with a more complex metabolic picture need longer. How long you stay on it is what drives your total spend, and you plan that together.
