GLP-1s for kids and teens, done right

Yes, when it's clinically appropriate. Our pediatric-trained doctors prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1s like Wegovy and Saxenda after a full evaluation, always alongside coaching. (Ozempic itself isn't approved for kids, but similar medications like Wegovy and Saxenda may be used.)

No. Medication is just one of several tools, and many children never need it. Every child gets a plan built around nutrition, movement, mindset, and family support — medication is added only if it's the right fit.

Oral GLP1s are FDA approved only for adults. In specialty care, an oral GLP-1 may occasionally be considered off-label for an older teen, but pediatric evidence is very limited, so it's weighed carefully, child by child.

We check your insurance and handle the prior authorizations and appeals. When a plan covers it, families often pay as little as $0–$20/month. If it's not covered, we help you find the lowest price, including manufacturer self-pay options that start around $199/month.

Yes. Our care follows the American Academy of Pediatrics' 2023 guidelines for childhood obesity, which call for early, comprehensive treatment — and, for kids 12 and up, medication when appropriate.

We don't use compounded GLP-1s. They aren't FDA-approved, their quality and dosing aren't guaranteed, and that safety margin matters even more in a child. We prescribe only FDA-approved medications.
