Two platforms, one drug class, and a difference in annual cost most people do not notice until month four. That is the LIV Body versus IVIM Health question.
GLP-1 dosing escalates over the first few months, and providers differ on whether the invoice escalates with it. LIV Body holds one rate at every dose; IVIM Health's price moves from $99 to $174.
What follows is a like-for-like read of both programs: entry pricing, maintenance pricing, formulary, support model and the terms attached to each. No number here is inferred; if a provider does not publish it, the table says so.
The short answer
- Lowest 12-month cost
- IVIM Health — $2,013 against $2,988 at LIV Body, on each provider's own best published pricing.
- Most predictable bill
- LIV Body — Flat rate at every dose, so titration does not change what you are charged.
- Least friction to get going
- IVIM Health — Free consult, then clinician review, then home delivery.
- Most support included
- LIV Body — 24/7 unlimited messaging with physicians and nurses.

What happens to the price as your dose goes up
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are titrated upward over the first months of treatment. Some providers price per milligram in all but name, so the invoice climbs alongside the dose; others hold one rate the whole way.
LIV Body is in the second group: a weight loss guarantee behind the program and unlimited access to physicians and nurses. IVIM Health is in the first — the GLP-1 ID protocol's 40% faster claim is the platform's own, not an independent finding — which means the number you compared at signup is not the number you will be paying at month four.
This is the single most common way people end up paying more than they planned for GLP-1 treatment. It is also the easiest to check: ask what the highest maintenance dose costs, not what the starting dose costs.

LIV Body or IVIM Health: matching the program to the patient
Choose LIV Body if:
- delivery works the way you want it to: home delivery
- you want to start on their timeline: online intake
- you want a single monthly charge rather than a membership plus medication
- you want the price you sign up at to survive titration
Choose IVIM Health if:
- the twelve-month total is what you are optimizing ($2,013 against $2,988)
- the monthly rate is the constraint — $174/mo against $249/mo
- the level of clinical contact suits you: no-obligation free consultation valued at $75
- the feature you would actually use: 4.9 stars on both Google and Trustpilot, which is rare dual third-party verification
The compromises on both sides
On price. $174/mo against $249/mo. LIV Body is asking you to pay for a weight loss guarantee behind the program and unlimited access to physicians and nurses; decide whether that is a line item you will use.
On commitment. Neither publishes a multi-month discount, so both are month-to-month decisions and neither asks you to prepay for a response you have not had yet. Neither publishes financing options, so plan for the full amount each month.
On predictability. Flat rate at every dose versus membership fee plus the cost of medication. Whichever you pick, get the maintenance-dose price in writing at intake.
On access. LIV Body advertises online intake and home delivery; IVIM Health advertises free consult, then clinician review and home delivery. Neither publishes its state coverage, so confirm you are eligible before paying for anything.
The medication, not the platform
Weight loss percentages quoted in telehealth marketing come from trials neither LIV Body nor IVIM Health ran. Here is the source material, and what regulators say alongside it.
In the STEP 1 trial, weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg produced a mean body-weight change of −14.9% at 68 weeks against −2.4% on placebo, per NEJM, STEP 1.
The STEP 1 extension found participants regained roughly two-thirds of the weight they had lost within a year of stopping semaglutide, per Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.
Which is to say: the medication decision belongs with a clinician, and the platform decision belongs with a spreadsheet.
LIV Body vs IVIM Health: common questions
Which costs less over a year, LIV Body or IVIM Health?
IVIM Health, at roughly $2,013 for twelve months against $2,988 at LIV Body, using each provider's own best published pricing. Those totals cover medication and program fees as published; they exclude anything a provider bills separately, and they assume you stay on the same plan for the full year.
Is IVIM Health cheaper than LIV Body?
Yes, on the ongoing rate. IVIM Health runs $174/mo once promotional pricing ends, against $249/mo at LIV Body — a difference of 43%. Compare the first-month offers separately, because both providers discount entry differently from the rate you will actually be paying by month three.
How fast can I start with LIV Body compared with IVIM Health?
LIV Body advertises online intake, with home delivery. IVIM Health advertises free consult, then clinician review, with home delivery. Both are subject to clinician review and to whether your state and health history clear, so treat the advertised timeline as a best case rather than a commitment.
Does LIV Body or IVIM Health charge a membership fee?
IVIM Health runs a membership-plus-medication model, so the monthly total is the membership plus whatever the medication costs on your plan. LIV Body charges $249/mo with no separate membership. When comparing the two, price the membership model at your expected maintenance dose rather than at the introductory rate.
Can I switch from LIV Body to IVIM Health later?
Yes. Neither program locks you in clinically, and both operate month to month unless you have bought a multi-month plan. Practically, switching means a fresh intake, a fresh clinician review and possibly a gap in supply, so time it against your current shipment rather than your renewal date.
The verdict
IVIM Health is the cheaper year by $975, and for a straightforward course of treatment that settles it.
Where LIV Body justifies itself is a weight loss guarantee behind the program and unlimited access to physicians and nurses. Where it does not is anywhere the extra spend buys features you will never open.
Both platforms are legitimate routes to a GLP-1 prescription. The decision is commercial, and it should be made with the twelve-month figure in front of you rather than the first-month one.
