James Simmons, MD
I'm a practicing emergency medicine physician, and these days my focus is metabolic health and peptide-based weight management. I stay deep in the latest GLP-1 research — dosing, safety, and emerging therapies — so the plan I build with you is grounded in real evidence.

Why our prices are lower.
Our prices are lower for three simple reasons:
- Compounded medication — made to order by a licensed US pharmacy from a pharmacy-grade, base-form active ingredient, so you're not paying extra for the brand name.
- One all-in monthly price — your visits and shipping are included, instead of a separate membership fee on top of your medication.
- Lean marketing — we don't pad prices to fund big advertising campaigns, so more of what you pay goes toward your care.

From a licensed US pharmacy to your door.
Your medication is dispensed by a US pharmacy licensed in Illinois and shipped overnight, refrigerated (cold-chain), straight to your door. Here's what stands behind every shipment.
Licensed US pharmacy
Your prescription is filled individually for you by a state-licensed US pharmacy, as permitted under Section 503A of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Accredited, independently scrutinized
Our pharmacy holds PCAB accreditation (Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board) — a voluntary standard requiring product testing, staff training, and quality practices beyond state minimums.
Every batch independently tested
Every batch of injectable medication is tested by an independent, accredited US laboratory for sterility and endotoxins, and we keep the Certificates of Analysis (COAs) on file.
What you should know.
Can I get a GLP-1 prescription online in Illinois?
Yes. You complete a short medical intake, then meet a clinician licensed in Illinois over video. If treatment is appropriate for you, your prescription is filled by a licensed US pharmacy and shipped overnight to your door anywhere in Illinois. You never need to visit a clinic in person.
How much does GLP-1 treatment cost in Illinois?
Our semaglutide program starts at $112/month (once-daily oral drops) or $135/month (weekly injections). Tirzepatide starts at $169/month. The price includes the medication itself, your clinician visits, ongoing medical supervision, and overnight refrigerated shipping. There is no membership fee, and the intake and first visit are free: you pay nothing until you choose to start medication.
Do you take insurance?
Not at this time. We charge one flat monthly price with the medication, clinician visits, and shipping included, so there are no prior authorizations or surprise bills. HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, and we provide itemized receipts and a Letter of Medical Necessity on request.
Which medications do you prescribe?
Compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic), available as once-daily oral drops or a weekly injection, and compounded tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro) as a weekly injection. Your clinician recommends the medication, form, and dose that fit your health history and goals.
Who prescribes my medication?
James Simmons, MD, our medical director, is licensed in Illinois and board-certified in emergency medicine (ABEM). He reviews your intake, meets with you over video, and supervises your treatment over time.
Where in Illinois do you serve?
All of Illinois. Visits are over video and medication ships overnight statewide, so care is the same whether you're in Chicago, Aurora, Joliet, Naperville, or a town without a weight-management clinic nearby.
