IVIM Health (ivimhealth.com) is a Columbus, Ohio–based telehealth platform specializing in individualized GLP-1 weight loss treatment and women's hormone optimization. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Taylor Kantor, MD (Chief Medical Officer, Ohio State University/University of Cincinnati College of Medicine), alongside his brother Anthony Kantor (CEO) and Anthony's wife Kelly Kantor (Chief Marketing Officer), the company has grown into one of the largest GLP-1 telehealth providers in the United States — claiming 470,000+ patients served across 49 states (Mississippi excluded) with a team of approximately 92 licensed providers including board-certified obesity medicine physicians and nurse practitioners.
The GLP-1 ID individualized dosing protocol is a genuine clinical differentiator — weekly provider check-ins and real-time dose adjustments based on patient-reported symptoms, side effects, and progress offer a more responsive care model than the standard monthly or quarterly check-ins at most telehealth competitors. The peer-reviewed clinical study published in Obesity Pillars (1,131 patients, 19.5% body weight loss at 52 weeks) provides a level of clinical evidence that very few telehealth GLP-1 providers can claim, even with its limitations as a retrospective, company-authored analysis. Compounded semaglutide starting at $75/month is among the lowest GLP-1 medication prices on the market, though the mandatory $74.99/month membership fee brings the effective starting cost to approximately $150/month.
The mandatory $74.99/month membership fee on top of medication costs is the most significant pricing consideration. While the advertised semaglutide starting price of $75/month is competitive, the effective monthly cost is approximately $150/month including membership — which is still reasonable but notably higher than the headline price suggests. Some competitors include provider access in medication pricing without a separate membership fee. The cancellation and refund policy is highly restrictive and a significant concern. All fees are non-refundable once payment is accepted. Patients are contractually obligated to pay through their full selected program duration (1, 2, 4, or 6 months) regardless of usage or early cancellation. Upon cancellation, an administrative/restocking fee of $50–$100 per unused program portion applies. This is among the most rigid cancellation structures in the telehealth GLP-1 space and is a recurring theme in BBB complaints.
IVIM Health is one of the most established and clinically credentialed GLP-1 telehealth providers on the market, with a genuinely differentiated individualized dosing protocol, a peer-reviewed clinical study, a massive provider team, and an extraordinary Trustpilot reputation. The combination of weekly provider-guided dose adjustments, health coaching, community support, and a comprehensive wellness ecosystem sets it apart from medication-delivery-only competitors. Compounded semaglutide from $75/month (plus $74.99 membership) makes the effective starting cost approximately $150/month — competitive but not the cheapest when the membership is factored in.
Yes. IVIM Health prescribes both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 medications. Compounded options include semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide — the same active ingredients found in Ozempic/Wegovy, Mounjaro/Zepbound, and Saxenda respectively. Brand-name options include Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Saxenda, with insurance prior authorization support available. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not undergone FDA review for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality. IVIM's published study (Obesity Pillars, 2025) found no statistically significant difference in weight loss outcomes between branded and compounded semaglutide within their protocol.
IVIM Health's pricing has two components: medication cost and a mandatory membership fee. Compounded semaglutide starts at $75/month, compounded tirzepatide at $133–$149/month (varies by page/plan), and compounded liraglutide at $249/month. All patients pay a $74.99/month membership fee (first month free) that includes unlimited provider consultations, health coaching, app access, community, and 20% off supplements. Effective starting cost for compounded semaglutide is approximately $150/month including membership. Programs are available in 1, 2, 4, or 6-month durations and require upfront payment. Add-ons include lipotropic injections ($99/month), sermorelin sublingual tablets ($129/month), and NAD+ injections ($249/month). Brand-name medication pricing depends on insurance coverage and prior authorization. HSA/FSA is accepted. Klarna financing is available.
GLP-1 ID is IVIM's precision dosing protocol, launched in early 2026, that individualizes GLP-1 therapy through weekly provider-guided dose adjustments based on real-time patient data. Rather than following standard fixed titration schedules, patients complete weekly check-ins via the IVIM app reporting symptoms, side effects, weight changes, and subjective experience. Licensed providers review this data and adjust doses accordingly — aiming to minimize side effects while maximizing weight loss progress. The protocol was developed based on outcomes from a retrospective study of 1,131 patients published in Obesity Pillars (June 2025), which found 19.5% average body weight loss at 52 weeks and 21.8% at 68 weeks, with a low 1.7% adverse event rate. The study was not a randomized controlled trial and included only program completers.
Cancellation is permitted only after the final payment of your selected program has been made. You cannot cancel mid-term — you are contractually obligated to pay through the full duration of your program (1, 2, 4, or 6 months). All fees are non-refundable once payment is accepted. Upon cancellation of a multi-month plan before completion, an administrative/restocking fee of $50–$100 per unused program portion applies. The membership fee waiver (medical ineligibility due to pregnancy or documented contraindications) is the only exception. To cancel after program completion, go to My Account > Subscriptions. For extenuating circumstances, contact support@ivimhealth.com. This cancellation structure is among the most restrictive in the telehealth GLP-1 space and is a recurring source of BBB complaints.
The $74.99/month membership (first month free) includes: unlimited 1:1 virtual visits with licensed providers, personalized holistic coaching for nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset, weekly wellness masterclasses and recipes, 20% off all supplements and wellness products, access to the IVIM Health mobile tracking app, a supportive online community of members, expert-written health blogs, and expedited medication refills. The membership is mandatory for all medication plans and must be maintained for the duration of the selected program. IVIM also offers add-on medications (lipotropic injections, sermorelin, NAD+), a women's hormone replacement therapy program ($199/month), and a comprehensive supplement line (general wellness, digestive health, weight management, blood sugar support, skin/hair/joint health).
