No. Your clinician considers your health history, goals, current medications, and other relevant factors. Treatment recommendations—and whether medication is appropriate—depend on an individual medical evaluation.

No. Prescription treatment is not right for everyone and is never guaranteed. Your clinician will discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and eligibility based on your evaluation.

Yes. When labs are medically appropriate, Physique MD can help arrange testing. Discounted cash-pay pricing may be available for patients who prefer not to use insurance or whose plan does not cover the labs. Ask Dr. Leena about the tests you need, available locations, and current pricing.

Visits take place by video, allowing you to speak directly with Dr. Leena — your weight loss doctor serving Vernon Hills, Lake County, and patients across Illinois — from a private location. Start with the short form for current details about scheduling and technology requirements.

Yes — the short form is the best way to ask general questions about getting started.

Not at all. Physique MD is a 100% telehealth practice serving patients across all of Illinois — there are no in-person visits. Your appointments happen by secure video from wherever you are in Illinois, and prescriptions and labs are arranged remotely.

That is different for every person, and any clinic that guarantees a number is not being honest with you. Your result depends on your health history, your dose, and the habits built around the medication. What Dr. Leena can promise is a realistic expectation for your situation, set at your consultation — and a plan that is reviewed and adjusted with you, not a slogan.

Only a medical evaluation can answer that. In general, Dr. Leena considers your weight history, BMI, current medications, and conditions such as thyroid disease, pancreatitis, or gastroparesis. The short questionnaire on this site helps you start the conversation — it is not a diagnosis and it does not guarantee a prescription.

Physique MD prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, prepared for you by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. Compounded medications use the same active ingredients as the brand-name products, but they are not themselves FDA-approved products, and brand names such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound belong to their manufacturers. If your insurance covers a brand-name medication, Dr. Leena is glad to prescribe it through your plan instead.

Your consultation is $50, and the full amount is credited toward your care — medication or labs — if you move forward. Medication is priced by dose tier — tirzepatide $129, $279, or $350 per month; semaglutide $99, $149, or $199 per month — so you can see your maximum monthly cost before you ever start. Labs, when needed, are extra at discounted cash-pay rates, and if prior-authorization paperwork is required, our office completes it for $20–$25.

Physique MD is a cash-pay practice, which is how we keep pricing clear and care direct. If your insurance plan covers a medication that is medically appropriate for you, Dr. Leena will prescribe it through your plan and our office can help with the prior-authorization paperwork for $20–$25.

The most common are nausea, reflux, constipation or diarrhea, and reduced appetite. They are usually dose-related and often settle as your body adjusts — and there are practical ways to make them milder, which Dr. Leena reviews with you. Less common but serious risks, including pancreatitis and gallbladder problems, are discussed in full at your consultation so you know exactly what to watch for.

You meet Dr. Leena herself by secure video. She reviews your history, your medications, and what has and has not worked for you, discusses whether labs are needed, and explains your options with their benefits and risks. If treatment is appropriate, you build the plan together. If it is not, she will tell you honestly.

Usually, yes — baseline labs help Dr. Leena prescribe safely and follow your progress. If you have recent results, bring them. If not, Physique MD can arrange testing at discounted cash-pay rates, starting with the Weight Loss Baseline Panel at about $79.

Your medication is prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy and shipped directly to your home in Illinois. Refills and dose changes are coordinated at your follow-up visits, so nothing arrives — or changes — without a clinical reason.

Yes. For patients who prefer not to inject, we offer brand-name Wegovy® tablets (semaglutide) filled by NovoCare® Pharmacy, and compounded tirzepatide tablets, at the prices shown on this site. Dr. Leena will help you weigh convenience against effectiveness for your situation.

You are welcome here. Bring your current medication, dose, and how you have been tolerating it. Dr. Leena will review your history and either continue your plan or adjust it — there is no need to start over.

Losing the weight is only half the plan. Dr. Leena works with you on a maintenance phase — which may include dose adjustments, habit support, and a follow-up schedule — so the result you worked for is one you can keep.

There are no membership fees and no lock-in contracts at Physique MD — you pay month to month for your plan only. Yes. Treatment is month to month, and your plan can change as your life does. Because stopping suddenly often leads to regain, Dr. Leena will help you pause or stop in a planned, safe way rather than all at once.

Adults 18 and older who live in Illinois. Physique MD is 100% telehealth, and Dr. Leena treats adults only — we do not treat children.
