How it works
A phone call is never required. Our clinics are there when you want them, not as a gate.
Eight questions about your goals and health. You see your result and your price right away, and nothing is saved until you create an account.
2 minutesCreate your account, finish your health questions on your phone, and pick a video visit time. A clinician reads your answers before you meet.
About 12 minutesIf medication is right for you, you choose it together and the prescription is written during the visit. A physician reviews every new plan.
15 minutesIt ships from the manufacturer's pharmacy, or you pick it up the same day at a local pharmacy. We check in on day 3 to see how you feel.
2 to 4 days to shipOur programs
Your clinician helps you choose at your video visit. Medication needs a prescription, and only a clinician decides if it's right for you.

For people who don't qualify for medication, don't want it, or are coming off it. A physician-led nutrition plan, coaching, and labs.

Adults 18 and over who live in California and want medical help losing weight. Medication generally needs a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure. If medication isn't right for you, our Metabolic program may be.
Core membership is $139 a month. Medication is separate: you pay the pharmacy the manufacturer's self-pay price, usually $149 to $449 a month. Your first month includes your video visit and labs review, with no separate visit fee.
No. DR. FOOD is cash-pay. Ask us for a superbill and you can send it to your insurance yourself. Manufacturer savings offers still apply to your medication.
Our target is your first dose within 5 business days of the quiz. If you upload bloodwork from the last 6 months and pick up at a local pharmacy, it can be 2. Your timeline depends on your visit time, labs, and pharmacy.
Brand-name FDA-approved medications: Wegovy (semaglutide) as a weekly pen or a daily pill, Zepbound (tirzepatide), and Foundayo (orforglipron). A prescription is required. Your clinician recommends one at your video visit, and you decide together.
No. Everything can happen on your phone. Our 5 Southern California clinics are there if you want labs, a body composition scan, help with your first dose, or a face-to-face visit.
