About the Programs
What each program is and who it's for.
What medications are used in Bold You programs?
It depends on the program. Weight loss uses compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Other programs use medicines such as NAD+, sermorelin, testosterone, enclomiphene, estradiol, sildenafil and tadalafil, finasteride and minoxidil, naltrexone, and non-habit-forming sleep medicines. A licensed provider chooses based on your goals and health history. See every program.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide acts on GLP-1 pathways; tirzepatide adds GIP, giving it a dual mechanism. Which one fits you depends on your metabolic profile, goals, and tolerance — your provider recommends the fit, not a one-size-fits-all default.
What is the microdosing program and who is it for?
Microdosing uses lower-dose protocols for appetite management, metabolic support, and maintenance goals — built for patients who don't need or want a full-dose program. Eligibility is always provider-determined after clinical review.
How is this different from a local weight loss clinic?
Bold You combines telehealth evaluation, prescribing, medication fulfillment, and coaching in one continuous workflow — no repeated office visits, no insurance friction, licensed provider oversight throughout. Built for consistency, not one-time visits.
Which programs does Bold You offer?
GLP-1 weight loss, microdosing, longevity (NAD+, sermorelin, B12), TRT, enclomiphene, ED treatment, hair restoration, HRT, sleep support and alcohol recovery. Peptides are coming soon. See all programs and prices.
Medications & Safety
Side effects, labs and who can safely take what.
What happens if I have side effects?
Contact care support through the portal for clinical guidance and escalation. Your provider can adjust titration pace, timing, or supportive strategies as needed. If symptoms are urgent or severe, seek emergency care immediately.
Can I get labs through Bold You Wellness?
Your provider orders labs when clinically appropriate — based on your pathway, medical history, and state-specific requirements. Lab data sharpens treatment precision and safety.
Is this available if I have diabetes?
Patients with diabetes may qualify — it depends on current medications and risk factors, confirmed through provider review. Not every program fits every patient profile.
Is it safe to microdose long-term?
Microdosing is an off-label use pattern — it isn't part of an FDA-approved dosing schedule for semaglutide or tirzepatide at any strength. GLP-1 medications have an established safety profile at standard, FDA-approved doses, studied over several years of clinical use. Long-term data specifically on low-dose, maintenance-style use is less extensive, simply because this pattern of use is newer. That's why microdosing patients still have quarterly provider check-ins and lab review for as long as they're on a formula — the same monitoring cadence used for full-dose programs.
Are compounded medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are prepared by U.S.-licensed pharmacies from your individual prescription. They aren't FDA-approved finished products, and they aren't generic copies of brand-name drugs.
Pricing & Insurance
What you pay and how billing works.
Do I need insurance to use Bold You Wellness?
No insurance required. Bold You runs on a direct-pay model — no prior authorization delays, no denials. Pay by credit card, or use HSA/FSA if your plan is eligible.
Will my price increase as my dose goes up?
No. Your price is flat for the life of your plan — it doesn't change as your dose goes up. Any plan-level change is always communicated before it takes effect.
Is TRT covered by insurance?
Coverage for TRT varies by insurance plan and is not guaranteed. Like all Bold You programs, TRT is offered on a direct-pay basis — we recommend checking with your insurance provider about your specific coverage before enrolling.
Is microdosing covered by insurance?
Coverage for microdosing varies by insurance plan and is not guaranteed. Like all Bold You programs, microdosing is offered on a direct-pay basis — we recommend checking with your insurance provider about your specific coverage before enrolling.
Is care coaching included?
Yes with GLP-1 weight loss, microdosing, the GLP-1 sleep protocol and both alcohol recovery options. Other programs offer optional video therapy for $149 a session. How coaching works.
Getting Started
From the quiz to your first shipment.
How long before I receive my medication?
Provider review takes 24–48 hours from intake. Once approved, your medication ships within 2–3 business days from our compounding pharmacy — most patients receive their first shipment within 5–7 business days of completing intake.
Is Bold You Wellness available in my state?
Most programs are available in all 50 states and DC. TRT is available in select states. Some states require a short video visit before your first prescription. Check your state.
Can I cancel or pause my subscription?
Subscribers can cancel anytime — no penalty. Refunds are available except for any billing period whose medication has already been sent to the pharmacy. We also offer a pause option — up to 60 days without losing your provider relationship or coach assignment.
What happens after I take the quiz?
You see the program that fits and its price. Then you complete a short intake, and a licensed provider in your state reviews it. How it works.
Hormones & Specialty Programs
Hormones, sexual health, hair, sleep, alcohol and more.
Do you offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)?
Yes, in states where it's available, when it's clinically appropriate. Labs are required first. About TRT.
Can I use this for hormone therapy only?
In many states, yes — hormone-focused care is available without a GLP-1-first pathway, depending on provider assessment and state regulations. Clinical fit is reviewed individually, never assumed.
How does care coaching work?
A care coach meets with you every two weeks on included plans, covering habits, side effects and staying consistent. About coaching.
What happens when I reach my goal weight?
Your provider transitions you to a maintenance strategy based on your progress and risk profile. Coaching shifts to relapse prevention and sustainable routines — the goal is keeping the results, not just reaching them.
Do you offer HRT for menopause?
Yes: estradiol as a pill, patch, cream or vaginal option, plus non-hormonal choices. About HRT.
Do you treat ED and hair loss?
Yes. ED treatment uses sildenafil and tadalafil options delivered discreetly. Hair restoration has formulas for men and women.
Can you help with sleep or drinking less?
Yes. Sleep support offers a home sleep study, a GLP-1 sleep protocol and non-habit-forming medicine. Alcohol recovery uses naltrexone, alone or with a GLP-1, with coaching included.
Do you offer peptides?
Not yet. Peptides are coming soon. Sermorelin is available now through Longevity. Join the peptides waitlist.
