Answer a few questions and get personalized answers, no sign-up, no email required. Built specifically for Houston-area patients researching semaglutide and tirzepatide.
Tool 1
GLP-1 Eligibility Checker
Answer 4 questions about your BMI and health history. The tool checks your answers against FDA-approved eligibility criteria for Wegovy and Zepbound, the same criteria your doctor will use.
- BMI calculation from height and weight
- Checks for qualifying health conditions
- Returns a clear yes/likely eligible/not eligible
- Explains which medication you may qualify for
Sample Result
Likely Eligible
Based on your BMI of 32 and type 2 diabetes, you appear to meet FDA criteria for both Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide).
Results include next steps and clinic recommendations.
Tool 2
Cost Estimator
Enter your insurance type and medication preference. The tool calculates your estimated monthly out-of-pocket cost across four scenarios: brand-name with insurance, brand-name without, compounded through a clinic, and telehealth options.
- Side-by-side brand vs. compounded pricing
- Accounts for manufacturer savings cards
- Adjusts for Texas insurance and Medicaid rules
- Shows annual cost across all options
Sample Result
Brand-name Wegovy (no insurance)
List price, no savings card
$1,349/mo
Wegovy + commercial insurance
With Novo Nordisk savings card
$25-$225/mo
Compounded semaglutide
Via physician-supervised clinic
$150-$400/mo
Results include insurance tips and clinic options.
Tool 3
Weight Loss Timeline Calculator
Enter your current weight and goal. The calculator builds a month-by-month projection based on average outcomes from the STEP trials (semaglutide) and SURMOUNT trials (tirzepatide), not marketing claims, actual clinical trial data.
- Month-by-month weight projection
- Separate tracks for semaglutide vs. tirzepatide
- Based on STEP and SURMOUNT trial averages
- Shows when you may reach your goal weight
Sample Result, 220 lbs → 180 lbs goal
