"How much does it cost?" is the first thing almost everyone wants to know about medical weight loss, and it is usually the last thing a clinic's website will tell them. That silence does more damage than any price could. People assume the worst, and the not-knowing keeps them from ever making the call.

So here is a straight answer. At our Fort Myers clinic, new patients can start semaglutide at $229 for the first four weeks, with the consultation included. Below is what that first month covers, what it doesn't, and what actually shapes the cost of a medical weight loss program after that.

The short answer: $229 for your first four weeks

Our new-patient offer is simple:

$229 for your first four weeks of semaglutide
Your consultation is included — the free, in-person visit where our medical team reviews your history and goals
New patients only — it's the price of getting started, not a rate for every month after

One condition comes before any price, and it isn't a sales technicality: semaglutide is prescribed only if our medical team confirms it's right for you. If your history says a different approach fits better, or that a weight-loss medication isn't the right step at all, we'll tell you that at the consultation — before you've paid for anything.

What happens before that first dose

The $229 starts with the part most online programs skip: a real conversation in our clinic on S Tamiami Trail in south Fort Myers. Your first visit covers your health history, the medications and supplements you take now, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping to change. We check your blood pressure, and our Medical Director and Nurse Practitioner review the whole picture before anything is prescribed.

That order matters. Screening before medication is the difference between a medical program and a prescription with a shipping label. It's also why the consultation is part of the offer rather than an add-on: there is no responsible way to start semaglutide without it.

Why semaglutide is the starting point

Semaglutide is the medication behind the weekly weight-loss injections most people have heard about. It works with the body's own appetite signals, so you feel satisfied sooner and stay satisfied longer — the constant food noise quiets down, and eating less stops being a fight. We prescribe compounded semaglutide, the same active medication, as part of a supervised program rather than a vial and a goodbye.

It isn't the only option we offer. Some patients are better suited to tirzepatide, and some — especially people whose struggle is cravings rather than plate-size hunger — do better on a daily pill like Contrave. The new-patient price applies to semaglutide; if the consultation points you toward a different medication, we'll talk through that option with you in person.

What shapes the cost of a medical weight loss program

After the first month, cost depends on the plan your medical team recommends. Three things move it more than anything else.

The medication

Semaglutide, tirzepatide and oral options like Contrave are different medicines with different costs. Which one fits you is a medical decision first, and the price follows from that decision — never the other way around.

The dose

GLP-1 medications start low and increase gradually, and your dose only moves up when your body shows it's ready. Some people stay at a modest dose; others need more. The dose you need is part of what determines the cost of each month.

How long you stay on it

Some patients use medication for a defined stretch while they rebuild eating and movement habits; others benefit from staying on it longer. Your plan, your progress and your goals set the timeline, and we revisit it with you rather than locking you into one at the start.

That's why we don't post a single monthly price for every program. A number that fits one person's medication, dose and timeline would be wrong for the next person. The first month is the one place we can give everyone the same clear number — so we do.

What "cheap" can cost you

When you compare prices, compare what's behind them. A lower monthly number can mean no in-person screening, no one checking how you're responding, no one adjusting your dose when side effects show up, and no one to call who knows your name and your history.

The questions worth asking any clinic or online service before you pay:

Who reviews my health history before I'm prescribed anything?
Who do I talk to if I have side effects, and how quickly?
How is my dose adjusted, and by whom?
What happens when I want to come off the medication?

If the answers are vague, the low price is covering for something. You're welcome to ask us every one of those questions at your consultation.

Insurance and how to pay

Coverage for weight-loss medication varies widely from plan to plan, and many people end up paying for it themselves. If you'd like to use insurance or a health savings account, check with your plan directly about what it covers before your visit. At the consultation, we'll walk you through your options plainly.

Where the DNA testing fits

Our name comes from the part of the practice most clinics don't offer. DNA testing can show how your body tends to handle food, medication and training, which helps us explain why a plan is working — or why it isn't — and adjust it around what's actually true about you. It isn't required to start semaglutide, and it's a separate service from the new-patient offer. Ask about it at your consultation if you want your plan built on more than trial and error.
