Livea sticks to compounded injectables, for a below-par 66 on Formulary Match.

Support Level97/100

Support lands at an exceptional 97 — high-touch coaching and regular check-ins.

Flexibility55/100

Flexibility scores a below-par 55 — fewer levers to flex your plan.

Transparency46/100

LegitScript certification helps, but thin pricing and sourcing detail keeps Transparency at a below-par 46.

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

Who it's for — and who should skip it

Livea is for people who want comprehensive physician-supervised GLP-1; compounded sema $99/mo; 8 clinics + telehealth, MN/WI/IA/FL only.

Skip it if that doesn't sound like you. A closer fit may be SkinnyRx (Match Score 64) — or take the quiz to see where Livea lands for your priorities.

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 $170/mo and tirzepatide from $272/mo — below our category median of $199/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (August 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 SkinnyRx — which should I pick?

They score within a few points of each other: Livea at 62/100 and SkinnyRx at 64/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Livea is the better fit for people who want comprehensive physician-supervised GLP-1; compounded sema $99/mo; 8 clinics + telehealth, MN/WI/IA/FL only. SkinnyRx suits shoppers who want a tablet as well as an injection on either molecule, and who read the term attached to an advertised rate before they read the number. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.

Pricing & state data last verified August 2026 from Livea's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on Livea's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.

Verdict · Grade C · 62/100

Semaglutide here is $170/mo — $29 below our category median of $199. Tirzepatide is $272/mo. It scores highest on the care that comes after the first vial. Best suited to people who want comprehensive physician-supervised GLP-1; compounded sema $99/mo; 8 clinics + telehealth, MN/WI/IA/FL only. If that is not you, SkinnyRx is the closest thing to it here.
