JRNYS is a telehealth weight-loss program built around branded GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), dulaglutide, and liraglutide (Saxenda), paired with 1-on-1 coaching. Membership runs $89 to $169 per month depending on coaching level; for members with commercial insurance, GLP-1 cost should be capped around $25/month after any deductible. Self-pay options exist, with pricing confirmed after a provider consult. Care is led by CMO Dr. Henry Legere. JRNYS notes these drugs are diabetes-indicated and may be used off-label for weight loss.
