I was already doing
all the right things
— and still wasn't thriving.

The microdose GLP-1/GIP starts around $239/month. The full program is around $299/month. For comparison, most med spas charge $1,000+ per month for similar protocols. EllieMD uses a 503A licensed pharmacy and passes the savings to you. PayPal Pay-in-4 is available if you want to spread the cost.

For standard dosing: BMI 25+. For microdose: BMI 20+. If you've been on a GLP-1 in the last 45 days, BMI 22+ qualifies. Your provider will confirm eligibility during your intake — it's part of the free assessment process.

Yes. Therapeutic peptides are prescription compounds. That's actually a feature, not a bug — it means a licensed, board-certified physician reviews your health history before anything is prescribed. You're not just ordering something off a shelf.

All EllieMD peptides are compounded at a 503A licensed pharmacy under strict quality standards. They're prescribed by board-certified physicians. This is a legitimate telehealth platform, not a gray-market supplement company.

Supplements provide raw materials — vitamins, minerals, amino acids — and your body decides what to do with them. Peptides are signaling molecules that tell your body to do something specific. They're highly precise and work on targeted pathways. That's why they require a prescription and provider oversight.

Most people notice appetite and craving shifts within 1–2 weeks. Meaningful physical changes typically show up in 4–8 weeks. The deeper longevity and optimization work compounds over months. Peptides are not a quick fix — they work with your biology over time.

Most insurance doesn't cover compounded peptides. However, many EllieMD products are FSA/HSA eligible — meaning you can use pre-tax dollars. Check with your FSA/HSA administrator. PayPal Pay-in-4 is also available for those who want to spread the cost.

Yes — I do. I currently run GLP-1/GIP + B12, Mots-C, and the KLOW stack concurrently. Your provider will help you build a protocol that makes sense for your goals and health history. Layering is common and often produces better results than running one peptide alone.

Your provider will tell you honestly. EllieMD providers are board-certified physicians — they're not going to prescribe something that isn't appropriate for your situation. If you don't qualify or if peptides aren't the right fit, they'll tell you. The assessment is free.

EllieMD has a brand partner program that lets you refer others and earn residual income. It costs $79 to enroll and $8/month for the back office. You earn 20% back on your own orders and up to 40% residual on referrals. Many people use it to offset the cost of their own peptides. Enroll at elliemd.com/join-us.

Yes — EllieMD is available in all 50 states. It's a fully remote telehealth platform. No in-person visits required.

This depends heavily on the habits you've built alongside your protocol. Peptides work best when paired with high-protein nutrition and consistent movement. Your provider will discuss tapering strategies when the time comes. The goal is always to use peptides to build sustainable habits — not to depend on them indefinitely.

Any rapid weight loss — regardless of method — can trigger temporary hair shedding (telogen effluvium). It typically resolves on its own. To minimize it: prioritize protein intake, check iron and ferritin levels, and make sure B-vitamins are adequate. Mention it to your provider — they can guide you.

No specific plan is required, but peptides amplify the work you put in. I recommend high-protein eating (animal-based works great for me) and consistent strength training. Peptides lower the barrier — they make it easier for your body to respond — but they work best when you're giving them something to amplify.
