What is the process like?
After becoming a Heva Wellness Plan member you’ll fill out a secure questionnaire for your desired treatment (you only pay the medication cost if you’re approved by one of our doctors).
A Heva provider will review your forms and health factors and see if you’re eligible for treatment.
Once a provider approves you for treatment and the pharmacy processes your prescription (this can take a few days, but hang tight), your medication will ship out with fast 2-day shipping and no extra fees.
How much will my treatment cost?
Your $99/month Heva Wellness Plan includes:
- Unlimited doctor visits (No waitlists. No running around for appointments.)

As a Heva Member, your semaglutide is only $149 a month (you won’t be charged this treatment fee unless/until you’re prescribed medication).
You can cancel anytime. No obligation to subscribe for a minimum number of months!
What does Semaglutide do in the body?
Semaglutide is a modified molecule our bodies make. It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well as targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last for weeks in our system rather than the natural version our bodies make, which lasts minutes.
Semaglutide accelerates your weight loss by…
- Delaying how quickly our stomachs digest food. This leads to a feeling of fullness longer and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
- Targeting the part of the brain that controls cravings.
- Lowering blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
- Stimulating insulin secretion by the pancreas.
Is this safe? What medical regulations are these GLP-1s under?
Yes! Our compound pharmacy partners adhere to the strictest quality standards, policies, and procedures. They are held to the following best practices:
- All state and federal regulations (FDA guidance).
- Vetting pharmaceutical ingredients through a rigorous qualification process.
- Constantly testing raw materials, active ingredients, and finished compounded products via third-party analytical assessment, ensuring sterility and potency.
- Continuous training for all pharmacists and staff to demonstrate proficiency and cultivate mastery in their roles.
- An internal quality assurance program that regularly monitors and audits processes and procedures.
- Integral and unwavering commitment to sanitizing equipment and facilities, preventing cross-contamination, and maintaining aseptic conditions.
- Weekly potency tests and extra quality assurance measures.
What are some potential side effects?
The most common side effects for GLP-1s include nausea and constipation (usually subsiding after initial treatment). Patients sometimes report acid reflux, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
However, the addition of B12 and Glycine to our formulations can help alleviate these potential side effects.
The risk of serious side effects increases in patients with hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and a risk of allergic reactions.
What do B12 and Glycine do?
B12 is important for metabolism and cell function. It helps keep your blood cells healthy and its introduction to GLP-1s helps combat potential nausea.
Glycine can help to reduce muscle loss without any increased or additional side effects. The studies on pairing glycine with a better diet are promising, especially when it comes to preserving muscle mass and stimulating the loss of fat tissue.
In short, B12 and glycine can only help to enhance the powerful effects of weight loss treatments and our unique formulation ensures our GLP-1s mitigate side effects and promote powerful results.
Is local pharmacy pick-up available?
Not at this time, we'll keep you posted if that changes!
How long will it take for my treatment to arrive?
Once the pharmacy processes your medication, we ship via 2-day shipping. It can take 2-3 business days for the pharmacy to process your treatment, so our goal is to have it on your doorstep in 7 days!
Is insurance required?
Not at all! A part of Heva's mission is to make treatment as accessible as possible without sacrificing rigorous medical quality. This involves direct pricing without obstacles and complexity. You can get started today at the price you see (no lab bills, insurance company claims, or just-because costs).
Who can use semaglutide?
503A compounding facilities may only compound medications upon prescription for specific patients who demonstrate a need for the compounded product over the FDA-approved alternative.
Does the price go up if my dose goes up?
Nope, this is your cost per refill.
