Measured costs $69 a month more than CoreAge Rx on semaglutide. Whether that is expensive depends entirely on one question: will you talk to the dietitian?
Measured's $49 membership funds obesity-trained providers, registered dietitians and care coordinators, with unlimited messaging to all three. Compounded semaglutide is $119 with medication included, so $168 all-in; tirzepatide is $219, so $268.
CoreAge Rx charges $79 and $129 with no membership. What you get is a physician review, medication, supplies, shipping and a support team — no dietitian, no coaching, no labs.
Why the dietitian is the thing worth paying for
Lean mass loss is the best-documented downside of rapid GLP-1 weight loss, and it is the one you can actually act on. Protein intake and resistance training have the evidence behind them, and hitting those targets consistently is considerably easier with a dietitian reviewing your intake than without. Our GLP-1 supplements guide covers what the numbers should be.
Your muscle-protection numbers
Weight lost on a GLP-1 is not all fat. Protein intake and resistance training are the two levers with the best evidence behind them. Set your weight to see the targets.
Daily protein target
120–200 g
Roughly 30 g at each of four eating occasions gets you to the bottom of that range.
Resistance training
2–3 ×/week
Full-body sessions covering legs, push and pull. Loaded movement is the signal that tells your body to keep the muscle.
General nutrition and activity information, not medical advice. Protein targets can be inappropriate in kidney disease and some other conditions — check with your clinician before changing your intake.
Measured's catalogue is the other real difference
Fourteen-plus options against CoreAge Rx's two: branded Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and the oral Wegovy pill, a GLP-1 microdose tier at $79, plus NAD+, sermorelin and other longevity lines. Each row is labelled for whether insurance is required and whether medication is included, which makes the compounded half unusually easy to read.
The gap in that catalogue is the branded half: '$49/mo' on those lines is the membership only, and Measured does not publish what the branded medication costs. So if you are heading for Zepbound, you cannot price Measured at all.
