What it is
Sunlight runs a self-pay online program built around compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide shots; its help center also covers NAD+ and sermorelin. You take an intake quiz and pay up front; a clinician reviews it, books a video visit only when your history calls for one, and a partner pharmacy ships a four-week supply.
The terms name the operator “GLP-1, LLC d/b/a Sunlight, LLC,” with an office on NE 122nd Way in Kirkland, Washington, and Iowa law governing disputes. Sunlight doesn't practice medicine. Its FAQ names Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink, as the medical team, and the footer lists JMP Medical and OpenLoop Health among its provider groups.
It serves all 50 states, with some services varying by state licensure, and takes HSA and FSA cards but no insurance. Labs are required before your third prescription and cost nothing extra at LabCorp, Quest or BioReference.
The home page prices semaglutide at $88 and tirzepatide at $157, and its FAQ calls each a flat monthly rate covering the prescription, unlimited telehealth visits and shipping. Billing runs automatically every 28 days, one charge per 4-week package, with no membership on top.
The figure isn't consistent across the site. A “Fall Promo! As low as $88” banner runs across every page, while FAQ answers on the reviews page and the weight-loss medications page say semaglutide starts at $179 and tirzepatide at $259.
Your first payment is taken at signup and covers the clinical review. Cancel before a clinician opens your intake and it all comes back. Cancel after that review and Sunlight keeps an $80 clinical fee, unless the clinician is the one who rules the medication out.
Once a prescription or refill reaches the pharmacy, that cycle can't be refunded. You file a refill form in the portal each month to trigger the next shipment, and approved prescriptions ship within 7 business days.
Who it's wrong for
Budgeting on $88 for the long haul? The banner calls it a fall promotion, and other Sunlight pages still quote $179.
Skip it if you might back out after the intake. Canceling once a clinician has reviewed it costs $80.
Which pharmacy will fill it? Sunlight lists six partners and never says which one ships your order.
Expecting one charge per calendar month? A 28-day cycle means thirteen charges in a year, not twelve.
Hoping to skip blood work? Labs are mandatory before a third prescription.
