Dr. B Review
Pay per consult, no subscription — and paid visits fund free care
$145 program fee per consult plus medication; compounded from $113/month, brand-name from $149/month
Overview
Dr. B is built around two ideas the rest of this category mostly ignores. First, you are never on a subscription — the $145 Shed It program fee is charged only when you actually take a consult, so pausing costs nothing and there are no automatic charges. Second, every paid consultation funds No-Cost Care for patients in financial hardship, with more than 25,000 free consults given to date. The $145 covers a monthly provider consultation, unlimited team check-ins, blood work at Quest Diagnostics, a Letter of Medical Necessity that unlocks HSA/FSA spending on fitness and nutrition, and weekly support material. Medication is billed separately and the range is unusually wide: brand-name Wegovy at $349/month cash, the Wegovy pill at $149 (or as little as $25 insured), Zepbound from $299, plus compounded microdose options from $113 for tirzepatide with B6 and $115 for semaglutide with glycine. Brand-name scripts go to your local pharmacy or LillyDirect; compounded ships express. The whole site is mirrored in Spanish at es.drb.ai, and the medical advisory board is named with credentials.
Pros
- No subscription — the $145 fee applies only when you take a consult
- Blood work at Quest Diagnostics included in the program fee
- Both brand-name and compounded routes, including microdose options from $113/month
- Full Spanish-language site at es.drb.ai
- Paid consults fund No-Cost Care — over 25,000 free consults given to patients in hardship
- Letter of Medical Necessity provided to unlock HSA/FSA for fitness and nutrition costs
- Named medical advisory board with published credentials
Cons
- The $145 program fee recurs with every monthly consult, on top of medication
- Medication cost varies widely by type, brand and dose — the total is hard to predict
- State availability is not published, and some states require a live video visit
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products
- Weight loss is one of 30+ services rather than a dedicated obesity practice

Pricing
Billing comes in two parts and there is no subscription. The Shed It program fee is $145, charged each time you take a consult, and covers the provider consultation, unlimited check-ins, Quest Diagnostics blood work, a Letter of Medical Necessity and support tools. Medication is billed separately by type, brand and dose: Wegovy $349/month cash, Wegovy Pill $149/month cash or as little as $25 insured, Zepbound from $299/month, compounded tirzepatide with B6 from $113/month, compounded semaglutide with glycine from $115/month and compounded liraglutide with glycine from $147/month. Insured patients pay their copay in place of the $145 self-pay fee. Most of Dr. B's non-longevity consults are $19.
