Solid GLP-1 weight loss telehealth at competitive monthly pricing with real-clinician care.
Is PeterMD the right fit for you?
Who it's for
- Adults with BMI 30+ (or BMI 27+ with a weight-related comorbidity like type 2 diabetes or hypertension) seeking GLP-1 medications without insurance friction
- Patients who want a multi-medication option (semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine) from a single provider rather than switching clinics if their first protocol needs to change
- Cost-conscious GLP-1 buyers — PeterMD's monthly pricing competes with the lowest in telehealth weight loss
- Existing PeterMD TRT patients who want weight loss bundled under the same prescriber relationship
Who it's not for
- Residents of AL, ID, AK, or HI — PeterMD excludes these states for weight loss medications specifically
- Patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN-2 syndrome (FDA contraindication for GLP-1s)
- Anyone wanting in-person evaluation before starting GLP-1 therapy — telehealth-only intake here
- Patients without convenient access to a local LabCorp or Quest draw site for the required metabolic labs
Your first 3 months with PeterMD
Complete the weight-loss-specific intake (15–20 min) covering weight history, current medications, GLP-1 contraindications (MTC family history, severe gastroparesis, prior pancreatitis), and treatment goals. Schedule the free initial physician consult.
Video consult with a licensed physician (15–30 min). Metabolic lab order issued — fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid panel, thyroid (TSH + free T4), liver enzymes, kidney function. Local LabCorp or Quest draw within the week; results in 2–3 business days.
Lab review with the prescriber confirms protocol. First GLP-1 dose shipped 5–7 days after script approval — typical start is semaglutide 0.25 mg/week or low-dose tirzepatide. Dose titration scheduled every 4 weeks based on tolerance and response.
Follow-up labs at 12 weeks confirm metabolic markers are responding. Most patients on a therapeutic dose see meaningful weight loss visible by this point. Dose titration toward maintenance range continues; ongoing async support with the medical team.
PeterMD vs the alternatives
[Hims](/online-providers/weight-loss/hims) and PeterMD compete directly in the GLP-1 telehealth lane. Hims has the bigger consumer brand and bundles weight loss into the broader Hims account. PeterMD is more weight-loss-focused with multi-medication options (semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine all available) and competitive pricing. Both use licensed physicians and FDA-approved or compounded GLP-1s. AHF rates PeterMD 4.3 (weight-loss) and Hims similarly in the 3.9–4.1 range for their weight-loss vertical. Pick PeterMD if GLP-1 is the primary need and you want medication flexibility. Pick Hims if you want a single account spanning multiple men's health categories.
[Marek Health](/online-providers/weight-loss/marek-health) brings the premium-concierge model to GLP-1 — comprehensive metabolic panels (including advanced markers like ApoB, fasting insulin, leptin), deeper clinical-relationship pricing, more rigorous monitoring cadence. PeterMD is the higher-volume operation at materially lower monthly cost. Pick PeterMD if you want efficient GLP-1 at the best price with appropriate monitoring. Pick Marek if you want full metabolic optimization with concierge-level depth and your budget supports it.

What people actually ask about PeterMD
Yes — same legitimacy bona fides as PeterMD's TRT operation. LegitScript approved, BBB accredited, licensed physicians in each state served, FDA-registered pharmacy partnerships for branded GLP-1s and 503A/503B compounding pharmacies for compounded versions. The weight-loss vertical specifically operates under the same clinical infrastructure as PeterMD's broader telehealth practice. The size of the GLP-1 operation (large patient volume) combined with the LegitScript credential is the credibility floor — PeterMD clears it.
