Our Network of Board-Certified Providers
Connect with experienced, US-licensed physicians specializing in metabolic health and GLP-1 therapy. All providers are board-certified and committed to evidence-based care.
Communities across Iowa — from Ackley to smaller towns — are now accessing FDA-approved GLP-1 medications through licensed telehealth providers without leaving home. Your neighbors are getting results; you can too. Our IA-licensed physician network evaluates eligibility and prescribes the right GLP-1 medication for your community and your needs.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) have transformed weight management for communities nationwide, with clinical trials showing 15-22% average body weight reduction. These same results are now available to every Iowa community through telehealth.[1][2]

The following landmark trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine establish the efficacy and safety profile of FDA-approved GLP-1 medications:
Iowa authorizes board-certified licensed physicians to prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications via telehealth after a valid patient-physician relationship is established through an online consultation. GLP-1 receptor agonists are not DEA-scheduled controlled substances — no in-person visit is legally required in Iowa.
Our telehealth network connects communities across Iowa and its neighboring states — providing access wherever you live.

Yes, in every community across Iowa — from the largest cities to small towns. Our network of IA-licensed telehealth physicians provides GLP-1 prescribing access to all residents, regardless of where they live in the state.
Every Iowa community can access the full range of FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists — semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), and liraglutide (Saxenda) — through telehealth, the same medications available at specialist clinics in large cities.
Medication delivery through licensed US pharmacies reaches every Iowa address — urban or rural. After consultation and prescription approval, your GLP-1 medication typically ships within 24-48 hours and arrives within 3-5 business days, no matter where in Iowa you live.
All physicians in our network hold active IA medical licenses and are familiar with Iowa healthcare regulations, local coverage options, and community health needs. They prescribe within full compliance of all applicable state laws and regulations.
Yes. GLP-1 telehealth has grown rapidly across Iowa communities. Patients in large cities and small towns alike are achieving 15-22% average body weight reduction through online consultations and home delivery. The community is already embracing this accessible approach to weight management.
Black Box Warning: In rodent studies, semaglutide and tirzepatide caused thyroid C-cell tumors. It is unknown whether GLP-1 receptor agonists cause thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans. These medications are contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, and injection site reactions. These typically diminish as dosage is gradually escalated.
Serious side effects may include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney injury, hypoglycemia (with insulin), and allergic reactions. Consult your healthcare provider immediately if you experience severe symptoms.
Contraindications: History of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2, pancreatitis, pregnancy or breastfeeding, severe gastrointestinal disease. This is not a complete list — always discuss your full medical history with your physician.
