What Is Peter MD?
Peter MD is a men's telehealth platform where GLP-1 weight loss sits alongside hormone and general men's health services. Its GLP-1 programmes start at around $105 a month for a basic at-home treatment including injections, rising to about $158.50 a month for a package that adds phentermine and B12 injections plus supplies.
Tirzepatide is priced separately, with a recommended 60 mg plan advertised at $149 to get started and then $249 a month billed quarterly. Independent pricing checks put entry semaglutide around $315 and a starting rate near $270 for the first two months, which suggests the ladder varies more than the headline figures imply.
The combination protocols deserve a note. Adding phentermine to a GLP-1 is a real clinical approach used by some obesity medicine specialists, but it is not a routine combination, and B12 additions are common across the compounded market with weak evidence behind them. Understand what you are being prescribed and why.
As a men's platform, Peter MD covers a genuine gap — men are less likely to seek weight treatment and less well served by a category dominated by women's health branding. Treat it as a broad men's health service with a weight offering rather than a weight specialist.
How Peter MD Works
- 1
Men's health intake
Assessment covers weight alongside the broader men's health concerns Peter MD treats, rather than a weight-only questionnaire.
- 2
Clinician review
A licensed provider evaluates eligibility and recommends a programme tier, which may include combination protocols rather than a GLP-1 alone.
- 3
Choose your programme
Basic GLP-1 injections at around $105 a month, or a fuller package near $158.50 adding phentermine and B12. Tirzepatide plans are priced separately.
- 4
Quarterly billing on tirzepatide
The tirzepatide plan is advertised at $149 to start and $249 a month billed quarterly, so you commit three months at a time.

Key Features
Men's health platform
GLP-1 care sits within a broader men's health service, addressing a population that is under-served and less likely to seek weight treatment.
Low entry pricing
A basic GLP-1 programme from around $105 a month is at the affordable end of the market for a service including clinical care.
Supplies included in fuller packages
The combination tier bundles supplies, so there is no separate purchase of syringes and swabs.
Combination protocols available
Adding phentermine is a legitimate obesity medicine approach for some patients, and having it available broadens the clinical options.
Tirzepatide offered
The dual-mechanism molecule is available on a dedicated plan, which matters for patients whom semaglutide only partly helps.
Fully at-home treatment
Medication and supplies delivered, with no clinic visits required — suited to men who would not otherwise engage with in-person care.
Peter MD and Food Noise
The low entry price is Peter MD's most useful contribution for food noise, because cost is the leading reason men in particular never start treatment at all. A basic programme near $105 a month puts the mechanism within reach of people who would otherwise do nothing.
The phentermine combination is worth understanding rather than accepting uncritically. Phentermine is a stimulant appetite suppressant that works on a different pathway from a GLP-1, and for some patients the combination genuinely helps. But it carries its own side effect profile — sleep disruption, elevated heart rate, anxiety — and sleep disruption independently worsens food noise. If you are prescribed it, ask why.
B12 additions are ubiquitous in the compounded market and have essentially no evidence behind them for weight or appetite. They are not usually harmful; they should not be a reason to pay more.
There is no coaching or structured behavioural support, so the eating patterns that persist after appetite change are yours to address separately.

Curtis W.
GLP-1 programme via Peter MD · 6 months
At around $105 a month I could actually afford to start, which is the whole reason I'm on treatment at all. My appetite chatter is substantially quieter and I've lost 27 lbs. It's a men's platform and it feels like one — straightforward, no fuss, nobody trying to sell me a wellness journey.
Raymond A.
Tirzepatide plan via Peter MD · 7 months
Started on their basic GLP-1 and moved to the tirzepatide plan when the food noise was reduced but not gone. On tirzepatide it stopped completely. Quarterly billing means committing three months at a time, which I'd want people to know before signing up.
Devon L.
GLP-1 combination programme via Peter MD · 4 months
The package I was put on included phentermine, which I didn't fully understand at the time. It suppressed my appetite further but wrecked my sleep for a few weeks, and poor sleep made my evening eating worse rather than better. We dropped it and I'm doing better on the GLP-1 alone. Ask questions about what's in your protocol.
Aaron T.
GLP-1 programme via Peter MD · 5 months
Fair pricing, supplies included in the package I took, medication arrives reliably. Food noise noticeably better. My only frustration is that the prices I saw quoted in reviews before signing up didn't match what I was actually offered — get your own number confirmed.
Malcolm B.
Tirzepatide plan via Peter MD · 8 months
As a bloke in my forties I'd never have walked into a weight clinic. Doing it entirely from my phone through a men's platform is the only reason I started. Down 44 lbs and the constant food thinking is largely gone. No coaching, so I've had to work out the eating side myself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Peter MD cost?+
GLP-1 programmes start around $105 a month for a basic at-home treatment and about $158.50 for a package adding phentermine and B12 with supplies. The tirzepatide plan is advertised at $149 to start then $249 a month billed quarterly. Independent checks report entry semaglutide nearer $270 to $315, so confirm your own quote.
What is in the combination programme?+
The fuller package adds phentermine and B12 injections alongside the GLP-1, plus supplies. Phentermine is a legitimate obesity medicine option for some patients but carries its own side effects; B12 additions are common across the compounded market with weak supporting evidence.
Should I take phentermine alongside a GLP-1?+
It is a real clinical approach for some patients, but not a routine combination. Phentermine is a stimulant that can disrupt sleep, raise heart rate, and increase anxiety — and disrupted sleep independently worsens food noise. Ask your clinician specifically why it is being added.
Is the tirzepatide plan billed monthly?+
No, quarterly. The advertised $149 start and $249 monthly rate is billed every three months, so you are committing three months at a time rather than paying month to month.
Is Peter MD only for men?+
It is built as a men's health platform, and its framing, content, and service mix reflect that. For men who would not otherwise engage with weight care, that positioning is a genuine advantage.
Are the medications FDA-approved?+
The GLP-1 offerings are compounded preparations, which are not FDA-approved products. Phentermine is an FDA-approved medication with its own indications and side effect profile.
Our Verdict
Peter MD's value is access. A basic GLP-1 programme from around $105 a month, delivered entirely to your phone through a men's health platform, reaches a group that is genuinely under-served — men who would never walk into a weight clinic and are less likely to seek help for eating at all. For food noise that matters, because cost and reluctance are the two most common reasons treatment never starts. Two cautions. Published pricing and independent checks diverge enough that you should get your own quote in writing. And if a combination protocol adding phentermine is proposed, ask why — it works for some patients, but it can disrupt sleep, and poor sleep reliably makes food noise worse rather than better.
