- Physician evaluation by Dr. Sharma

Who this is for
The Skeptic's Trial is designed for adults who meet GLP-1 eligibility (BMI 30+ or BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition) and want a shorter introduction before committing to the 90-day program. Three patient profiles where it fits well:
- You've never tried GLP-1 therapy and want to know how your body tolerates it.
- You've heard about compounded medications and want to evaluate the quality of our 503(a) pharmacy partner before a longer commitment.
- You're comparing compounded options against branded Wegovy or Ozempic and want to see how compounded performs for you specifically.
What's included, in plain language
- Submit the qualifying quiz — 2 minutes online.
- Complete the medical intake form — your full medical history. Same form Dr. Sharma uses for the 90-day program.
- Physician evaluation — Dr. Sharma reviews your intake. If you're a candidate, the prescription is written and sent to a licensed 503(a) compounding pharmacy. If you're not a candidate, the medication portion of the fee is refunded.
- Cold-pack shipment — your one-month supply ships to your address. Most California addresses receive within 3-5 business days.
- Self-administered weekly subcutaneous injection — at home, with written instructions and access to your care team for questions.
What it doesn't include (be specific)
- Ongoing follow-up beyond the month. The trial is intentionally a one-month commitment.
- Dose escalation. The trial uses the starting dose only. Dose titration over 12-16 weeks is part of the 90-day program.
- B12 / lipotropic combinations. Available in the 90-day program.
- Auto-renewal. No subscription, no membership.
What happens after the month
About 70% of trial patients in our clinic move into the 90-day Essential Reset ($499 total, $166/month) at the standard pricing — no upgrade fee, no penalty. About 20% complete the trial, pause, and return later. About 10% determine GLP-1 isn't right for them and we refer them to a different approach. We don't pressure the transition; the trial exists so you can make an informed decision.
The honest comparison: trial vs. 90-day program
Trial: $297 one-time / 1 month. Lower commitment. Starting dose only. No included follow-ups.
90-Day Essential Reset: $499 one-time / 3 months ($166/mo equivalent). Full dose titration. Monthly follow-ups. Better cost per month if you know GLP-1 is for you.
For most uninsured patients who have already decided GLP-1 is the path, the 90-day program is the better economic choice. For patients with hesitation or compounded-medication questions, the trial is the right entry point.
Frequently asked questions
What does the $297 Skeptic's Trial include?
A one-time $297 program with a physician evaluation by Dr. Sharma, a prescription for compounded semaglutide if you're a candidate, one month of compounded semaglutide from a licensed 503(a) pharmacy, and cold-pack shipping. No further commitment after the month.
Who is the trial for?
Adults meeting GLP-1 eligibility (BMI 30+ or BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition) who want a shorter introduction before the full 90-day program. Especially useful if you've never tried GLP-1 or want to evaluate compounded medications first.
How is it different from the 90-day program?
The 90-day Essential Reset ($499 total, $166/month) is the full program with longer dose titration and monthly follow-ups. The trial ($297, one month) is a shorter introduction. About 70% of trial patients transition to the 90-day program afterward at standard pricing.
Can I do the trial via telemedicine?
Yes. The initial physician evaluation can be done via secure video visit anywhere in California. Medication ships directly to your address with cold-pack handling.
What if I'm not a candidate?
If Dr. Sharma's review determines you're not a candidate, the medication portion of the trial is not dispensed and the medication-related portion of the fee is refunded. The physician evaluation portion is non-refundable because the work was performed.
Is the trial available in Spanish?
Yes. Anamaria Schmidt supports the trial in Spanish. Visit Nueva Figura at nuevafigura.health for the Spanish-language version.
