Livea review
Elena Voss is a mother writing for mothers, not a treating clinician, and holds no medical license. Prices and terms come from the company's own published pages. This is background reading, not medical advice.
Livea is one of the few names here with a history that predates the GLP-1 boom — it operates as Livea Medical, PLLC under Minnesota Weight Control, Inc., a weight-management business rather than a telehealth startup. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99 a month and tirzepatide at $199 "when available", a qualification most sellers leave out. It also does something unusual in its own FAQ: it puts its price next to the brand-name alternative, "compared to $1,000+ per month for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy".

How we scored Livea
Every factor comes from Livea's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 46/100 Metabolic-Fit Score on our weighted six-factor framework. Commissions don't change a provider's score.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the best on our list — the review below says exactly where.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
How we checked this review
It operates as Livea Medical, PLLC under Minnesota Weight Control, Inc. — an established weight-management company rather than a new telehealth brand. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $199 "when available", a supply qualification the site states itself and most sellers omit. Both figures appear inside a collapsed FAQ entry rather than on a pricing page, alongside the site's own comparison to "$1,000+ per month for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy". The compounding pharmacies are described as accredited but are not named, and no list of states is published.

What we like
- Operates as a named medical entity, Livea Medical, PLLC, under an established weight-control company rather than a bare LLC
- $99 a month for compounded semaglutide is well below the typical price we track
- Says "when available" about tirzepatide instead of implying continuous supply
- Puts its own price beside the brand-name cost in its FAQ rather than leaving the comparison implicit
- Offers a free consultation before any commitment
The caveats
- Both prices are "starting at", so dose may move them
- Tirzepatide availability is explicitly conditional, so the $199 may not be obtainable when you need it
- No list of states served is published
- The compounding pharmacies are described only as "accredited" and are not named
- Pricing appears only inside a collapsed FAQ entry rather than on a pricing page
- No published street address for the medical entity
A starting price with an availability condition
Livea advertises compounded semaglutide from $99 per month and compounded tirzepatide from $199 per month when available. The availability qualifier belongs in the comparison: a published tirzepatide price does not mean the service can supply it to every applicant or at every point in treatment. Start with the free consultation and ask which medication is actually available for your situation, in your state, before building a budget around either starting figure.
The prices appear in the site's FAQ rather than a detailed public dose schedule. The company does not publish a clear all-dose or maintenance-price guarantee. Request a quote that includes the prescribed dose, supply length, clinical follow-up, shipping, and any other mandatory charge. If the starting price applies to a particular stage or commitment, ask what changes afterward. That avoids mistaking an accessible entry price for the cost of an entire course of treatment.
What the Livea name tells you
The medical service identifies Livea Medical PLLC under Minnesota Weight Control Inc. It is connected with an established weight-management business, rather than presenting only an unnamed prescription storefront. That business identification is useful, but it does not tell you which clinician would review your history or how the wider company organizes medical care. Ask who provides prescribing decisions and how to reach that person or their clinical team after the consultation.
The Minnesota connection should not be used as a substitute for checking service availability. The company does not publish a complete state list. Confirm that the medical service can treat you where you live and whether any appointment must occur locally. Likewise, broader weight-management experience does not prove specialist knowledge of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum recovery. If those issues affect you, ask how the clinician would work with your existing care team.
The pharmacy remains a practical question
Livea describes its pharmacy partners as accredited but does not name a dispensing partner publicly. Ask for the actual pharmacy before accepting a compounded prescription. Accreditation language does not make the medication FDA approved or establish that it is interchangeable with a particular branded product. The label, ingredients, concentration, storage requirements, and instructions need to be clear for the specific prescription dispensed to you.
The website compares its prices with branded medications costing more than $1,000. That may illustrate a cash-price concern, but it is not a universal price for every branded option or every patient. Insurance benefits, eligibility-based offers, the product, and the prescribed dose can change another route's cost. Compare Livea's complete quote with the actual alternative available to you. A broad comparison to a high brand price is less useful than knowing what you would personally pay.
Use the consultation to settle the terms
A free consultation is an opportunity to get answers before committing, rather than proof that all later services are included. Ask how follow-up is scheduled, how medication changes affect the charge, and what happens if a product becomes unavailable. The tirzepatide availability condition makes the last question particularly important. You should know whether an interruption pauses billing, prompts a new clinical discussion, or requires a different arrangement, without assuming any of those outcomes from the starting-price advertisement.
Livea may appeal to someone who values a recognizable weight-management organization and wants to discuss medical treatment before buying it. The unresolved details are the recurring drug-specific price, pharmacy identity, and access to the clinical team. Get cancellation and refund conditions in writing as well; neither is established by the free-consultation offer. A sound decision rests on those practical answers, with the $99 and $199 amounts serving as starting points rather than guaranteed lifelong rates.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: Someone who wants a company with a track record behind the prescription rather than a new domain.

The $69 and $119 on its homepage are the 12-month prepay rates, billed once up front with no refund for unused months, and they sit under a live countdown clock with a lock-for-life promise that is marketing rather than a published term.

Compounded semaglutide at $99 a month and tirzepatide at $149, month to month and the same price at every dose, plus a separate microdose line for anyone who wants a gentler metabolic effect rather than maximum weight loss.

Livea, answered
- How much does Livea cost?
- At last review, Livea's lowest ongoing compounded rate was about $99/mo — From $99/mo for semaglutide, From $199/mo, when available for tirzepatide. This market re-prices often, so check the current all-in figure at the source before committing.
- Is Livea safe to use while breastfeeding?
- None of these drugs is established as safe in pregnancy, so stopping before you try to conceive is the usual plan. Nursing is less clear-cut. The Wegovy injection, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro labels have little or no breast-milk data and ask you and your clinician to weigh the benefits of breastfeeding against how much you need the drug. Compounded versions carry no label of their own; ask the prescriber directly how they handle nursing patients. Livea is not an exception to any of that — settle the timing with your own clinician.
- Does Livea offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Livea offers both molecules. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often preferred where insulin resistance drives weight, which matters for PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- How does Livea score for mothers?
- Livea scores 46/100 on our Metabolic-Fit Score, a weighted read of six things mothers actually have to care about. CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is worth a side-by-side look.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Livea's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
