About Marek Health
There is no published rate. Each protocol gets its own quote. Clients in the US are matched to health coaches and partnered physicians for metabolic care, lab panels of some depth, and tirzepatide or semaglutide. Before a client sees a provider the first time, labs must be drawn; testing repeats at 6-12 weeks and then every 6 months. Alongside the partnered physician sits a Marek Health Coach assigned to that client, checking in routinely twice a year.

A new-patient visit at Medi-Weightloss runs about $199 and covers a medical assessment, labs and a GLP-1 eligibility review; what medication costs after that depends on the plan. The physician-supervised brand has 130-plus locations nationwide alongside telehealth, and prescribes branded Wegovy and Zepbound, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, plus older agents such as phentermine. Programs are evidence-based and include body-composition analysis and personalized plans. Insurance is accepted at many locations, and HSA/FSA funds are welcome.
