The factor breakdown
Livea on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.

Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 49 on Speed to Start.
Livea sticks to compounded injectables, for a below-par 66 on Formulary Match.
Support lands at a exceptional 97 — high-touch coaching and regular check-ins.
Flexibility scores a below-par 55 — fewer levers to flex your plan.
LegitScript certification and clear public disclosures give a below-par 46 on Transparency.
Pricing in context
How Livea's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we like
- LegitScript certified; physician-owned Livea Medical PLLC; Medical Director Dr. Paul Olson, internal medicine/nephrology, 40 years experience
- Compounded sema from $99/mo and tirz from $199/mo — significantly cheaper than brand Ozempic/Wegovy ($1,000+/mo self-pay)
- Comprehensive program: InBody scans, registered dietitian nutrition counseling, health coaching, and regular provider check-ins included
- 15+ years established (founded 2011); 50,000+ clients served; voted Minnesota's Best Weight Loss Program 5 consecutive years
- Medications shipped to door; same-day consultations; in-person or telehealth; typically HSA/FSA eligible
The caveats
- Telehealth limited to 4 states only (MN, WI, IA, FL) — unavailable to most of the US; primarily a regional clinic network
- Pricing ambiguous: $69/mo program fee plus separate medication cost ($99/mo sema) may bring GLP-1 total to ~$168/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide availability uncertain — FDA announced shortage end in 2026; access subject to eligibility
- Labs (bloodwork) not explicitly included in any published program tier; confirmed at consultation only
- Strong MN/WI clinic focus; telehealth reach into IA and FL is newer and less established than core markets

Livea, answered
Is Livea legit?
Yes — Livea is LegitScript-certified, a third-party check that a telehealth pharmacy operates within the rules. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved; confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake.
How much does Livea cost?
Livea lists compounded semaglutide from $99/mo (plus a separate fee, compounded) and tirzepatide from $199/mo (compounded) — below our category median of $179/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (July 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Livea ship to my state?
Livea operates in a limited set of states (4 states). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
Livea vs CoreAge Rx — which is better?
Both are on our board. Livea scores 61/100; CoreAge Rx leads our default ranking at 91/100 for its flat nationwide pricing on both molecules and easy cancellation. Livea can still win for you if its strengths match your priorities — best for: People who want comprehensive physician-supervised GLP-1; compounded sema $99/mo; 8 clinics + telehealth, MN/WI/IA/FL only. Run the quiz to see which comes out ahead for you.
