Who Livea may suit
Minnesota and Wisconsin residents who want in-person clinic access, or telehealth patients in MN, WI, IA or FL.
Where the value is
- Six in-person clinics in Minnesota (Apple Valley, Coon Rapids, Edina, Minnetonka, Roseville and St. Cloud), not telehealth-only
- Low headline starting price for semaglutide ($99/mo)
- Broader wellness service menu (nutrition, hormone therapy, NAD+) beyond just GLP-1s
- Named legal entity (Livea Medical, PLLC) suggests real clinical structure
The tradeoffs
- Tirzepatide explicitly flagged 'when available,' implying inconsistent supply
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only; brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound aren't offered, and exact pricing is set at the consultation
- No named medical director or specific compounding pharmacy partner
- No LegitScript certification
- Telehealth covers just 4 states (MN, WI, IA, FL), and the in-person clinics are all in Minnesota
What Livea charges
Livea is a Minnesota weight-loss practice that has run in-person clinics for years and now offers GLP-1 treatment both in its clinics and by telehealth. Its prices are given as starting points:
- Compounded semaglutide: from $99 a month.
- Compounded tirzepatide: from $199 a month, "when available."
- Microdosing protocol: a lower-dose option, priced at your consultation.
Livea says exact pricing is set at a free first consultation, based on your medication, dose and plan, so ask for the full monthly cost at the dose you're likely to reach. It doesn't publish dose-by-dose prices. You don't need insurance, and Livea says the medication is typically HSA and FSA eligible.
About tirzepatide: Livea's FAQ notes that the end of the national tirzepatide shortage affects whether compounded tirzepatide is available, and says your provider will tell you what's on offer when you consult.
Considering Livea?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
In person or by video
The first consultation is free, with no obligation, and same-day slots are often open. You can meet a provider at one of Livea's six Minnesota clinics, in Apple Valley, Coon Rapids, Edina, Minnetonka, Roseville and St. Cloud, or by telehealth. Telehealth is offered in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Florida.
After you start, medication ships free in discreet packaging, or you can pick it up at a clinic. You keep seeing the same team, in person or by video, for dose changes.
More than the prescription
Livea's program bundles extra support alongside the medication:
- Nutrition counseling and meal planning
- Optional medical-grade meal replacements meant to help preserve muscle
- InBody body-composition scans at its clinics
- The Livea app for daily tracking, plus on-demand workouts and live classes
Ask which of these are included at your price and which cost extra.
Who's behind it
Medical services come from Livea Medical, PLLC, a physician-owned practice managed by Minnesota Weight Control, Inc., which does business as Livea. Its care team includes a medical director, nurse practitioners and registered nurses, though the GLP-1 page doesn't name them. Medication comes from accredited compounding pharmacies, also unnamed.
Before you book
- Telehealth patients must live in one of the four states above. In-person care is in Minnesota.
- Get the cancellation and refund terms at your consultation, since they aren't laid out on the GLP-1 page.
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't FDA-approved, and Livea's GLP-1 program centers on compounded drugs rather than Wegovy or Zepbound.
