Life IV Weight Loss is a physician-owned medical weight-loss practice in Tecumseh, Michigan, offering in-clinic visits and telehealth visits in Michigan and Ohio. Its clinicians prescribe brand-name drugs such as Zepbound, Wegovy, the Wegovy pill and Foundayo, which you fill through insurance or a manufacturer pharmacy; the practice is not a pharmacy and does not sell the medication. Visits can be billed to many insurance plans, or paid out of pocket at $99 for a first visit and $82.55 for a follow-up.
Is Life IV Weight Loss legit?
Yes. Life IV Weight Loss is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.1/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Life IV Weight Loss promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Life IV Weight Loss. Coupon sites advertising "Life IV Weight Loss discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Life IV Weight Loss scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Life IV Weight Loss has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
9.0/10Dispenses semaglutide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
2.3/10Serves 2 of 50 states.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from Life IV Weight Loss's own website, as of the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Life IV Weight Loss
Against it
- Serves only 2 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
What Life IV Weight Loss charges
Life IV Weight Loss publishes its visit fee before you sign up. The medication is not part of it: the pharmacy or your insurer bills for the drug separately, at its own price, so your monthly total depends on which medication is prescribed and how it is paid for. Ask for that figure before you commit. Before you pay, compare Life IV Weight Loss' cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. Life IV Weight Loss is not alone in this: about a fifth of GLP-1 sellers publish no price at all.
What Life IV Weight Loss dispenses
Life IV Weight Loss prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. These are FDA-approved brand-name products rather than compounded preparations, which is the more expensive route and the one where what is in the pen has been reviewed. Brand names vs molecules sorts out which pen holds which drug.
Safety and disclosure
Life IV Weight Loss tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 2 states it serves. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Life IV Weight Loss. The FDA's warning signs for online medicine sellers are a quick check to run on any seller before you pay. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want one all-in monthly price. Life IV Weight Loss publishes its visit fee, but the medication is billed separately at its own price.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Life IV Weight Loss bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top
Our read
Life IV Weight Loss publishes its visit fee before sign-up, so you can weigh the care side before you share any health information. The full monthly cost is a different number: the medication is billed separately by the pharmacy or your insurer at its own price, so price that part before you commit. WellMedRx is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
Life IV Weight Loss scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on availability, and it serves 2 states.

Where Life IV Weight Loss is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Embody.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Life IV Weight Loss sets more sellers in the same category beside Life IV Weight Loss on price, states and what the price includes.
