A Licensed Provider Decides —
Not An Algorithm
Affinity Direct is the online branch of our clinic network, treating patients in person since 2012. Your intake is reviewed by a licensed clinician in our partner provider network, who can approve, request more info, or decline.
Licensed In

Trial figures describe the FDA-approved branded medications studied at their full maintenance doses alongside diet and exercise. Individual results vary and no outcome is guaranteed. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. A licensed provider decides which medication and dose, if any, is appropriate for you.
What The Trials Actually Showed
These figures come from the landmark trials of the FDA-approved branded versions, taken at full doses alongside diet and exercise. We cite them because they are the best available evidence — not as a promise about your result.
~15% average Body-Weight Loss
In the STEP 1 trial of the FDA-approved branded version (2.4 mg weekly alongside diet and exercise), adults lost an average of about 15% of body weight over 68 weeks. Individual results vary and no outcome is guaranteed; compounded semaglutide is a separate, non-FDA-approved preparation.
Wilding et al., NEJM (2021) — STEP 1
Up to ~21% average Body-Weight Loss
In the SURMOUNT-1 trial of the FDA-approved branded version (highest dose alongside diet and exercise), adults lost an average of up to about 21% of body weight over 72 weeks. Individual results vary and no outcome is guaranteed; compounded tirzepatide is a separate, non-FDA-approved preparation.

Who Qualifies — Honestly
GLP-1 therapy isn't for everyone, and we won't pretend it is. Providers generally consider treatment for adults who meet the standard medical criteria below. Our eligibility check screens you before you pay — and a licensed provider always makes the final decision after reviewing your full health intake.
BMI 25 Or Higher — Standard Dosing
The full dosing range is typically appropriate, including the higher weekly doses as you titrate up. Your provider confirms the right dose.
BMI 23–24.9 — Maintenance / Starting Dose
Providers typically use the lower end of the weekly dose range — a maintenance or starting dose protocol.
BMI 21–22.9 — Microdose Protocol
Providers typically start with a microdose protocol at the lowest weekly dose. Below a BMI of 21, GLP-1 therapy isn’t appropriate — our eligibility check tells you before you pay, not after.

FAQ
Weight Loss — Common Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
No. We offer compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies. They contain the same active ingredient classes as the branded medications but are separate products, and compounded medications are not FDA-approved. A licensed provider reviews your health intake and decides whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Yes — and we handle that step. After checkout you complete a health intake, and a licensed provider reviews it, typically within 24–48 hours. If the provider determines treatment is appropriate, they issue the prescription and your medication ships from the pharmacy. If not, you receive a full refund.
Our providers consider GLP-1-class therapy for adults with a BMI of 21 or higher. Dosing follows your BMI: 21–22.9 typically starts on a microdose protocol at the lowest weekly dose, 23–24.9 on a maintenance/starting dose, and 25+ uses standard dosing including the higher weekly doses. The final decision — including your dose — is always made by the licensed provider who reviews your intake.
Compounded semaglutide runs from $96.05/mo and compounded tirzepatide from $120.14/mo effective on a 3-month plan with the optional Subscribe & Save auto-refill (15% off, cancel anytime — never required); 1-month one-time supplies start at $169 and $174. Every dose has its own published price, and every price includes the medication, injection supplies, cold shipping, the medical review, and provider follow-up. No membership fees.
Only if you choose auto-refill. Every plan can be bought as a one-time order, which simply ends after delivery with no renewal and no future charges. Auto-refill (Subscribe & Save, 15% off) is optional, and it starts only if you authorize it separately at checkout, where we show the price of each refill, when it is charged, and how to cancel. You can pause or cancel it anytime from your patient portal, with no fees and no commitment.
Your dose selection is a request, not a prescription. Choose the dose your current plan calls for — or a starter protocol if you are new — and the licensed provider who reviews your intake confirms or adjusts it. New patients typically start at the lowest dose and titrate up gradually as tolerated.
You receive a full refund. You are charged at checkout, and if the reviewing provider determines treatment is not appropriate for you, we refund the entire amount.
Your medication ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy in cold-chain packaging with discreet labeling, and injection supplies are included. 3-month supplies arrive as one shipment. Tracking is provided for every shipment.
The most common side effects of GLP-1-class medications are nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and reduced appetite, especially during the first weeks of a dose increase. Your provider starts at a low dose and increases gradually to reduce these effects, and you can message your care team at any time.

Medical Disclosure
Important safety information: Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are dispensed. Prescription weight-loss medication is only available if a licensed provider determines it is appropriate for you after reviewing your health intake — your dose selection is a request, and the provider sets the actual dose. Individual results vary and no amount of weight loss is guaranteed. GLP-1-class medications should be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
