LifeMD weight management review
Our take · our pick
Our current pick. FDA-approved medication only, including the newer pills, a recognized Novo Nordisk partner, and insurance and Medicare accepted for the visits. Paying cash, the $149 monthly membership is the same as Ro and double WeightWatchers, so if the fee is your only concern, compare first.
How we choose our pick is explained on the About page; we review it every quarter.
What LifeMD is
