Provider review
Steady State Health review
By Derek Olsson ·
Its own FAQ literally contains the unedited note '(not true, only in OR and WA)'
A single-provider women's-health practice charging $139 a month, prescribing GLP-1s inside a perimenopause model rather than as standalone weight loss. Its live FAQ still carries the drafting note "(not true, only in OR and WA)" in the patient-facing copy.
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
Steady State Health names Josie Cowburn and publishes DNP, FNP-C designations. Those merchant disclosures do not independently establish current Oregon and Washington licenses. Its live FAQ literally contains an unedited note reading '(not true, only in OR and WA)' left in the published patient-facing copy, and two of its own FAQ answers directly conflict on whether medication is bundled into the program fee.

Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You're in Oregon or Washington and want GLP-1 care framed within a broader menopause and hormone-health model
- You want a named nurse practitioner founder and can confirm current licensure for your treatment location
- You want the flexibility to send your prescription to a pharmacy of your own choosing
Look elsewhere if
- You want internally consistent pricing language — two of its own FAQ answers directly conflict on whether medication is bundled
- You're on Medicare, Oregon Health Authority, or PacificSource Community Plan — all explicitly not accepted
- You want a named dispensing pharmacy disclosed before choosing one yourself
What it actually costs
What they advertise
$139/month program fee — though its own FAQ contains two conflicting answers about whether GLP-1 medication is included in that fee or billed separately by the pharmacy; a standalone $99/month GLP-1 support add-on also exists.
What you actually pay, month to month
$139/month program fee is confirmed; whether medication cost is bundled or separate is genuinely unclear from the site's own conflicting FAQ answers — confirm directly before assuming either.
The commitment trap
The site's own FAQ gives two different answers about whether the $139/month fee includes medication — read both carefully and confirm directly rather than assuming either is current.
Money you will meet later
- A separate $99/month GLP-1 support option exists as an add-on to an existing program
- Initial visit $200, follow-up visits $100, per a separate payment page
Prices come from Steady State Health's own website and can change without notice — confirm before you buy. Work out what a vial actually gives you with our peptide dose calculator.
What is included
Compare the total cost, including fees and any minimum commitment. Here is what Steady State Health bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
The homepage names Josie Cowburn, DNP, FNP-C. These are merchant biography details
Washington and Oregon entries in an NPI record do not establish that both state licenses are currently active; confirm the applicable license and your assigned clinician.
Bloodwork / labs
Not published
Follow-ups and dose changes
Ongoing monitoring included in the program fee
Human support
Nothing published beyond named founder
Injection supplies
Not published
Shipping
Medication sent to a pharmacy of the patient's choosing
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Not named anywhere — medication is described only as 'sent to your chosen pharmacy,' giving patients choice rather than a locked compounding arrangement.
Oversight
Ongoing monitoring included in the program fee.
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
Oregon and Washington only for prescribing/medical services and repeatedly stated; cash-pay coaching is available more broadly.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
Steady State Health's own live FAQ page contains an unedited AI-drafting artifact: 'Cash-pay programs are available to women anywhere (not true, only in OR and WA)' — a literal self-correcting note never removed before publishing to a live medical FAQ.
- Live FAQ contains an unedited AI-drafting note reading '(not true, only in OR and WA)'
- Two FAQ answers directly conflict about whether medication is bundled into the program fee
- Medicare, Oregon Health Authority, and PacificSource Community Plan are all explicitly not accepted
- No dispensing pharmacy named anywhere

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.
