$160/mo sema · $240/mo tirz

Desk Score
Measured is a metabolic-health membership pairing GLP-1 treatment with 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care.
$119/mo (compounded) sema · $219/mo (compounded) tirz · Verified August 1, 2026
Marked down on: The headline $79 'GLP-1 Microdose' is a promotional rate off a $99 list price, is filed by the provider under longevity rather than weight loss, and is not a labeled therapeutic dose of either molecule
