Provider review
Livea review
A genuine regional clinic since 2011 — but telehealth covers only 4 states
Livea is a physician-owned weight-loss practice (Livea Medical, PLLC) founded in 2011 with 8 physical clinics in Minnesota and Wisconsin, per prior research and corroborating secondary sources — livea.com returned HTTP 403 to every direct fetch attempt on this pass. Its telehealth program is confirmed by multiple independent secondary sources to cover only four states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Florida — a real, consistently-corroborated limitation, unlike most nationwide-claiming competitors on this list. Secondary sources describe pricing headlined as "GLP-1 medications starting at $69/month," a different structure than prior directory research had assumed (a separate $69/mo program fee stacked on top of medication cost) — this pass could not resolve which reading is accurate given the site's block.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
Livea is a genuinely different kind of provider than most on this list: a real, physician-owned clinic network founded in 2011 with actual physical locations, not a pure telehealth storefront. But that real infrastructure comes with a real limitation — telehealth is confirmed by multiple sources to cover only four states, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Florida, so most readers of this review won't be eligible at all. The exact pricing structure (an all-inclusive $69/mo starting price, or a separate program fee on top of medication) could not be resolved this pass because the site blocked every fetch attempt — confirm directly before assuming either reading.
Livea is not ranked on any of our boards. This is a standalone read of what the company publishes about itself — the providers we do rank in this category are on our semaglutide provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see the evidence review for what these compounds do and do not do.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You live in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, or Florida — the only states telehealth covers
- You want a physician-owned practice with a real, multi-year track record over a newer telehealth-only startup
- You want InBody body-composition scans and registered-dietitian coaching bundled into the program
Look elsewhere if
- You live outside MN, WI, IA, or FL — telehealth isn't available to you regardless of what the homepage might suggest
- You need to independently verify exact pricing before committing — this site blocked every fetch attempt this pass
- You want a nationwide telehealth option rather than a 4-state regional practice
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Pricing not published live on this pass — the site blocked every fetch attempt; a secondary source indexed the page title "GLP-1 Medications Starting at $69/Month."
What you actually pay, month to month
Pricing not published live on this pass; prior directory research recorded compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and tirzepatide from $199/mo, while secondary sourcing this pass suggests a possibly different $69/mo all-inclusive structure — not resolved.
Money you will meet later
- An optional meal-delivery add-on runs $100-$200+/week, per secondary sourcing not independently reconfirmed live
We checked Livea's own public pages in August 2026 and found no dollar figure. We do not print a number we cannot see, and we do not repeat one from a third-party blog. Work out what a vial actually gives you with our peptide dose calculator.

Pharmacy, labs and oversight

Not independently confirmed this pass; prior research described the practice as LegitScript certified without naming a specific compounding pharmacy.
Oversight

Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
Telehealth confirmed by multiple independent secondary sources to cover only Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Florida — 8 physical clinics located in MN and WI.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
Livea's telehealth program is confirmed across multiple independent sources to cover only four states — Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Florida — worth checking before you spend any time on intake if you live elsewhere.
- Telehealth limited to 4 states — unavailable to most readers regardless of nationwide-sounding marketing elsewhere
- Site blocked every fetch attempt this pass; exact pricing structure could not be independently resolved
- Compounded tirzepatide availability sits in a legally contested regulatory zone as of mid-2026
- Labs not explicitly included in any published tier per prior research
None of this is unique to Livea — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are catalogued in our vendor red-flags guide.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our semaglutide provider ranking, in the order that board ranks them. Livea is not among them: it is reviewed here, not ranked there, and we would rather show you the comparison than pretend the two are the same thing.
- BHBodybuilding Health+One of the deepest peptide catalogues here, and the loosest one
- Enhance MDWrites a flat-price-at-every-dose policy down — and charges near the top for it
- RxSpan MDOral tablet only, at a real $179 monthly rate
- Direct MedsThe plainest price mechanics on either board, from a company with an FDA warning letter
- Synergy RxPublishes a starting number, and nothing about what it commits you to
- Sprout HealthA $150 markdown the site never explains, and a semaglutide price quoted by the quarter
- Strut HealthInjection or troche, but $119 is the auto-refill price only
- MadeMedPrices are published — but there is no monthly option at all

Read this before you buy
A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
