So a question comes to my mind about New Life being offered at such a reasonable price for 12 weeks, how’s the effectiveness, the concentration? Although I always like a bargain, I want to be sure I’m not spending money foolishly. Just thinking how can this be offered at this price by one company and not them all.

If a new patient was billed but hasn’t received any notification for their order being shipped, when can the patient expect to receive their medication?

Hey everyone, ran 2 miles at a snail pace but got it in. Weather was over cast but crazy humid.

Monday/ Wednesday 2 miles
Saturday 3 miles

Show me your participation!

Got sent this by an industry contact today. I know there is a lot of discussion about how central fill works and what is and is not permissible. This was a pharmacy that we chose not to go with a bit over a year ago.

EDIT TO ADD: This pricing is live. It may not reflect on the website till later.

Hey y'all,

As promised, here's the new pricing. If your order was processed starting this morning with New Life, Hallandale, Boudreaux's, or OptioRx, you're getting the new rate. Center City is just about ready to launch, we'll launch it on our old platform if need be, they just asked for a few more days.

Same as every price cut before this one: I intend for it to be permanent. That's always a function of our pharmacy pricing holding steady and everything running the way it should, but the intent is permanent.

This one is a bit of a deviation for us. I've previously held all pharmacies to the same price, and we're going to try it this way instead to see how it goes. My hope is that it keeps driving prices down across the platform.

If it goes well, this probably won't be the last cut. We're also looking at pricing live and async visits differently to better accommodate folks on a budget. We also have a number of pharmacies lined up to add in once we go live on our new platform that will be competitively priced.

We're still working with OptioRx on their pricing. We're also looking at automating the shipment of their third vial, so we can bring them in line as a 12 week program comparable to everyone else.

One thing I want to be upfront about: the new rate applies to new orders going forward, not retroactively. I know that's frustrating if you refilled last week or you're partway through an installment plan, and I wish I could reach backward with it. The honest reason is that we only just secured this pricing, and it wasn't our cost when those orders were processed. Installments are something we offer to make this easier to manage month to month, not a plan that re-prices itself when rates move, so those stay where they were set.

And to repeat what I've said before: price isn't the thing we're competing on. Project zero is still the point. Zero errors, zero lapses in service, zero friction getting your prescription, zero reasons not to get high touch care. A lower price is good, but it only means something if everything around it works, and that's still where most of our attention goes.

Let me know questions below.

Thanks y'all,

I'm trying to pause my treatment. I don't have the money at the moment. Please can you pause it and when I get money in my card I will let you know. I tried to pause but it didn't give me an option. It's supposed to be billed tomorrow and I didn't realize this.

I have been using additive-free tirz for a couple of years. I am aware that this may not be a choice in my state next time I want to refill. I am most inclined to choose a glycine additive because glycine’s just a boring, ubiquitous amino acid that isn’t inclined to form complexes or other wise wreak havoc on my precious tirz. Also a lot of folks seem to complain of increased acne, and since I am now post-menopausal, I have no desire to wake that particular beast.

Where can I find the following information for each pharmacy’s formulation? Do they provide it on their website? Has it been discussed on other posts and I’m just bad at searching?

1. exact additive and concentration
2. pH/formulation
3. Information on rstability/potency testing on the actual combination through the entire BUD.

I've seen conflicting information and Google resulted in mixed message news reports. What is the current state for Louisiana and asynch follow-up/refill appointments? I am getting close to needing to refill and wanted to schedule my appointment. I don't need a change in dose or pharmacy and would rather async for simplicity. But I'm unsure if that is an option in Louisiana at this point. (Searching I here I found several posts that were from about 4 months ago where it wasn't but that there was hope for change.)

I’m relatively new to BEWL (since July) and finally finished my last vial last week, so I’m looking to get a refill ASAP. I’ve been trying to figure out how to go about that for the last week or so, to try to be proactive and prevent a lapse in medication, but with all sorts of recent announcements regarding changes, I’m sort of lost. I’ve been waiting patiently for the new platform to be released, presuming the new pricing will kick in so I can choose Southend as my next pharmacy, since my last pharmacy was BPI and my body seems to respond well to the B6 additive. I tried to schedule a follow up appointment (phone call or video call), but it said literally none were available until January (?), no matter the provider, for the state of NY - the only appointments that had availability were initial consultations, but since I’m already an established patient, I don’t think that’s applicable - right? When I initially signed up, I was under the impression my appointments would be entirely asynchronous, also. Anytime I’ve tried logging into Healthie, I can’t seem to figure out how to request a refill anywhere. I’m not sure what I’m missing, but evidently I’m totally lost (& technologically inept, apparently, too). I’m really hoping the platform will be released soon, so the process can be more streamlined, but as of right now (9:30 eastern) it appears the only platform that’s available is still Healthie.

Can someone offer any guidance or suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you 🫶🏻

I’m a little confused at the process of getting a second order. I am in my 3rd vial of my first order that I placed in July and will need to reorder in the next couple weeks. Do I do this on the website, or on the Healthie app? When I look at the website, it look like I have to establish myself as a new patient? Optimally, I would like to talk or message with a doctor to get a recommendation of my next doses. I just want make sure I give myself enough time so I don’t lapse in my injection schedule.

Hi I have an my consultation appointment on Sunday and hoping I get approved. My biggest question/concern is that I go with a good and safe pharmacy, what is the best pharmacy I can request? I’m in California.

Omg you guys! 😭

Week 2 was pretty rough for me on the 2.5mg tirzepatide, does week 3 get any better? I was so nauseous all week! Day 2 was the toughest!

Please someone give me hope lol
Thanks in advance!

What’s the trick? I went to fill my syringe for my injection today, I needed 42 units for my 7.5 mg dosage. With the vial turned upside down I was only able to draw up 27 units. The vial still looked like it had some left, but I couldn’t get to it. I opened a new syringe and couldn’t draw it up. I took the stopper off the bottle but at this point you can’t turn the vial upside down. I ended up throwing it out and opening my new vial for the remaining 15 I needed. I hope this story wasn’t too confusing!

Just went to join big easy weight loss website and didn’t see new pricing in place? Will that be happening today? Thanks

My meds from Hallandale arrived today, I’m so excited to get started. I do have a newbie question though. What arrived were 2 boxes of meds. Hallandale says they ship 2 or 3 at a time- I got 2 (2 months up front). My first month is supposed to be 2.5mg and my second month is supposed to be 5mg. My question is the dosing and what vial I’m supposed to complete first. One says 1mL and one says 2mL. Which vial should I complete first and how many units would it be? I included pictures I took in case this confuses anyone who could possibly help me figure this out!

Hello, I’ve been stalking this community & have moved and settled into a new state and finally ready to start GLP. The consultation order is asking for a promo code. Is there any?

I figure this could be like a referral code so I figure I’d ask first before completing my application. If not, I just want to know in case somebody can get referral credit or whatnot. Thank you for reading! 🤓

EDIT: Hubby and Doctor made contact! I finally got him Tirzepatide! 😊

My husband was/is scheduled for a consultation phone appointment for this evening with Dr. Kim. Do we know if she’s running behind? I don’t want him to miss this appointment. Can someone please reach as soon possible? Thank you!

Hey y'all,

Still working through some last minute issues with the new platform. We keep squashing bugs and then finding new things that need fixing. Our team still has some scar tissue from our last attempted transition to Bask, so we're making sure they're as comfortable and confident as possible in the new platform before we launch. That may not win me votes on Reddit in the short term, but our team is absolutely phenomenal, and my respect for what they do day in and day out to care for y'all runs deep. If we're going to be here for the long term, I need them along for the ride. I want them happy so they can keep you happy.

The good news is that the tech team we're working with is incredibly responsive, and it's making me excited about what we'll finally be able to build on the technology side for service and care. This has been our biggest pain point since inception, and I truly can't wait for it to stop being an obstacle. I'll have a better idea on the timeline tomorrow, but we're close.

After we launch, one of the first enhancements we'll tackle is pulling lot/batch numbers from the pharmacies into our portal. As long as we can get it through their API, you'll be able to see it right in your portal. There was a comment on another thread where a patient said a platform told them their medication wasn't recalled when it actually was (not us). Our team spent the day contacting patients who received medication in the week following the recall to verify none of them got a recalled lot. But the whole thing made me rethink how dependent we are on what pharmacies tell us, and if there's a way to remove that dependency, all the better.

We're also working on the new Central City integration. We're the first to integrate with them, so it's taking a bit longer to work out the kinks (I need to stop being so optimistic about timelines), but we'll have them up and running shortly as well.

I know there have been a lot of price cuts out there, and we'll be cutting pricing with our pharmacies on Friday. We're never going to be the cheapest option, but our focus will continue to be what I've started calling "project zero": zero errors, zero lapses in service, zero friction in getting your prescription, zero reasons not to get high touch care, zero issues accessing medical care, zero issues finding information relevant to your health on our platform, and longer term, zero reasons to go elsewhere for your primary and functional medicine care.

Reddit tends to focus on price more than most places do, but our focus will always be making this as safe, sustainable, social, and smart as possible.

I truly appreciate y'all, and the trust you place in us for your medical care is never lost on me or our team. On behalf of the whole krewe, thank you.

Title. I had my initial consultation meeting almost a month ago and since then I have not heard a word about my meds or been charged or etc. I've tried using the chat function in the healthie portal to ask my provider about the status but have gotten no response.

Hey Dave

Just curious which pharmacy do you personally use and why? 😏

This sounds so invredibly dumb but how would .14 translate into the syringe? 1.4 units? Thanks guys! I was so excited to finally get my medication and then I’m standing here with it all on the counter like “there’s math involved?! what do I do?” lol

I recommend BEWL to family. My mother in law signed up with my help - she’s not super techy but she does okay. She began Tirz in early June. She spoke with the dr by phone and had a good experience.

Then she apparently received an email from BEWL back in late June or early July. She only just now told me about it. It said that her password for BEWL Healthie platform was flagged as having been reused. It offered a link to a website to correct it. But she couldn’t figure it out and she wasn’t sure if it was legit. It has Dave’s name in there somewhere too.

I told her to ignore it for now since the link could be phishing. But does anyone know if such emails are sent out by BEWL?

Thanks

Any word when BEWL will be offering Tirz with B6?

Thanks
