Microdosing is on the menu, and licensure covers all 50 states.

Commit to a 12-month plan and semaglutide drops from $299/mo to $158/mo, tirzepatide GLP/GIP from $399/mo to $248/mo. Both are compounded. Zepbound is stocked under its brand name, and NAD+, B12 and glutathione sit on the add-on menu. Supplies, guided care from a provider and recurring check-ins come inside the price, with Affirm and Klarna spreading it out; anyone turned down gets a full refund. Elevate Health and Wellness identifies neither its prescribers, nor its pharmacy, nor the states it reaches.
