Lemonaid Health, a subsidiary of 23andMe, provides access to once-weekly injectable GLP-1 medication through an accessible monthly weight loss membership subscription. As part of their subscription, members also get access to clinician consultations by phone or video, ongoing care and support, an annual lab order as needed, and a GLP-1 prescription for an additional cost.
The new weight loss membership is $49 per month and no long-term commitment required. With this subscription-based model, adults have an affordable means of kick-starting their weight health journey and making the shift to a healthier life and more sustainable habits. The process begins with an online assessment to determine health history and goals, then eligibility before ongoing care is provided.
