Clinician-guided GLP-1 weight-management evaluation with programs starting at $299/mo. Compounded drugs, when considered for a patient-specific need, are not FDA-approved.
FDA-approved prescription products containing semaglutide or tirzepatide have indication-specific evidence for chronic weight management or type 2 diabetes. Results depend on the product, dose, studied population, adherence, and ongoing treatment.
Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review a compounded drug for safety, effectiveness, or quality before it is marketed, and outcomes from trials of FDA-approved products should not be used to predict results from a compounded product.
LifeSpann begins with medical history, current medications, vital signs, and appropriate laboratory review. The clinician determines whether an FDA-approved medication is appropriate and whether any patient-specific alternative is lawful and medically necessary.
Dosing and follow-up are individualized to the prescribed product and its labeling. Monitoring includes response, side effects, nutrition, body composition, and whether treatment should continue, change, or stop.

- Metabolic response
Actions include glucose-dependent insulin release and reduced glucagon secretion.
- Appetite and digestion
Signaling also affects appetite and gastric emptying.

Your Treatment Process
Health Assessment
Review medical history, current medications, vital signs, relevant labs, contraindications, and risks to assess whether treatment is appropriate.
Medication Selection
Identify whether medication is appropriate and, if so, which prescribed product fits. FDA-approved and compounded products are not interchangeable; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
Dose Planning
Follow the instructions for the specific prescribed product. Dose and titration are individualized rather than inferred from a different product.
Monthly Check-Ins
Weight, vitals, measurements, symptom review, and dose adjustments to keep you on track.
Maintenance Planning
As you approach your goal, we develop a transition plan — whether continuing at a maintenance dose or tapering.

Could a medical weight-loss consultation help me find a next step?
A consultation gives you a place to discuss your goals, previous efforts, appetite changes and health history. Your clinician reviews whether medication belongs in your plan and how nutrition, activity and follow-up can support it. You can start with questions rather than a decision about a prescription.
Can I compare semaglutide and tirzepatide before choosing?
Yes. Bring your questions and any current prescriptions. We can discuss the specific products, their indications, potential benefits, side effects and costs for your situation. FDA-approved and compounded products have different evidence and oversight; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Treatment selection follows an individual evaluation.
What if I have reached a plateau or want to protect my strength?
Bring your recent progress and the activities you want to maintain. A review can consider nutrition, strength activity, side effects and your response to any current treatment. The next step depends on that whole picture, rather than automatically adding another medication or ingredient.
What will my initial consultation cost?
Your initial consultation is $200, credited toward treatment if you choose to proceed. Labs are charged separately. When scheduling by phone, our front desk collects a $50 booking deposit as part of the $200 fee, leaving $150 for the consultation. You can request a callback without paying online.
