Not another GLP-1
vending machine.
Most telehealth weight loss companies sell you a prescription through an anonymous provider and bill you more every time your dose goes up. GoodLife Health is built the opposite way: one named clinician, comprehensive labs included, hormones and GLP-1 managed together, and a flat monthly price. Here is exactly how we compare.
- A named, licensed clinician who follows your care — not async strangers
- Comprehensive labs included — no separate bills, ever
- Flat monthly pricing — no dose-escalation fees
What Makes GoodLife Health Different.
Telehealth has split into three traps: legacy platforms that mark branded medication up to $1,899 a month, compounding-only services selling copies under FDA scrutiny, and concierge clinics that bill by the year. GoodLife Health is the only one that combines medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and ongoing primary care under a single licensed clinician — with comprehensive labs included, and no surprises.

You came for medical weight loss. We make sure it actually works.
Weight loss that lasts is not a prescription. It is a clinical relationship that begins with knowing your body. Here is how your first three months are designed.
Clinical intake and your first round of labs.
This is where the work begins. Your clinician conducts a comprehensive intake — your full medical history, your weight history, your symptoms, your goals, the medications and supplements you are already taking, and what previous approaches have or have not worked. The first round of labs is ordered the same week. A full functional panel covering hormones, thyroid, metabolic markers, insulin, lipids, inflammation, and nutrient status. For most members, this panel reveals the underlying picture that prior doctors missed — which is also why prior attempts at weight loss either did not work or did not last.
The picture sharpens. Your protocol is written.
Your clinician orders a second, more targeted round of labs based on what the first showed. By the end of month two, your clinician writes your protocol — and for most members, that protocol includes some combination of hormone optimization, medical weight loss with GLP-1, or both, depending on what your labs and your goals actually call for. The protocol is yours to read, ask questions about, and decide on with your clinician. No automatic prescriptions, no surprise add-ons, no medication without the clinical reasoning behind it documented.
The weight loss you came for, done properly.
If your protocol includes a GLP-1, this is the month your medication arrives — a branded product obtained directly from the manufacturer or through your insurance, dosed by your clinician based on your specific metabolic profile, with monitoring built in. If hormone optimization is part of the plan, it begins now too. This is the month the weight loss you came for actually begins, with full clinical context already in place. The diagnostic work is done. The plan is written. From here forward, the work is real care.
This is what medical weight loss looks like when it is done properly. Three months. One clinician. A protocol written for your body, not pulled from a template. The weight comes off, and stays off, because you understand why.
Lasting good health or your first month back
If after your first month you feel GoodLife Health isn't right for you, we'll refund your membership in full. No questions asked.

"Dr. Kristin took the time to understand my concerns and helped me find the best treatment for my hair. The results have been incredible — it's truly been a life-changing experience. Not only is the team incredibly professional, they also helped me regain a sense of confidence and empowerment I haven't felt in years."
The relationship is the medicine
"I finally feel like I have a real doctor again."
After years of having a PCP who was attentive and truly knew me, he retired. Since moving to Tucson I've struggled — every time I establish a relationship with a PCP, they change offices. And when I do get seen, I feel more like something on a conveyor belt than a patient. What a relief to find Dr. K and her team. They actually get to know you. They are attentive, thorough, and genuinely care. I finally feel like I have a real doctor again. Thank you!
"Dr. K really listened to my concerns."
I just had my appointment last week, and it was the most wonderful experience. Dr. K was amazing, she really listened to my concerns and gave me the knowledge I needed and was so caring. So happy I found an amazing provider. The staff was so awesome! Shout out to Kelly and Alvia for being kind and amazing! You guys rock!
"The best of the best doctor."
I needed a new PC physician. Her practice welcomed me in immediately. They ordered a complete blood work up before the visit, something my previous physician failed to do for years.
Then I met NP Kristin Makinajyan! Oh my gosh!! She listened, I mean really listened to me as the physical began. She addressed every one of my concerns and added a few from the results of the blood tests.
She went through my lengthy list of medications and tweaked them, schooled me, and left me feeling as though I had seen the best of the best doctor.
I feel so relieved and comfortable having visited NP Makinajyan and her team. Every one I met made me confident that my health was their number one professional goal!!
"Kristin helped me get my life back."
Kristin helped me greatly get my life back on track and control of my weight loss journey.
Meet the team behind your care.
