Recommended Doctors or Platforms for Prescriptions

#1

Has anyone successfully obtained legitimate prescriptions in the US through platforms other than their primary care provider?

Motivation: My PCP is hesitant to further lower my LDL/ApoB levels, as they’re already in the normal range.

I’m interested in prescriptions for statins, ezetimibe, and empagliflozin. I assume rapamycin would be harder to obtain, but I’m not currently interested.

I’ve heard about two potential options:

  • Telemedicine platforms/doctors (would be ideal, especially if seamless)
  • Evidence-based functional medicine doctors with MD degrees

I’m open to both:

  • Obtain the prescription and manage lab work through my main healthcare provider or on-demand services. (preferred)
  • Work with an evidence-based MD who requires regular lab work through their clinic. (can be acceptable depending on the cost and the additional time commitments)

If you have firsthand experience with specific doctors, online platforms, or clinics (e.g., One Medical, Carbon Health), please share your insights.

If you prefer not to recommend publicly, please feel free to DM me.

Thanks!

I suspect that most of the self-nominated “longevity doctors” would likely be open to your ideas and prescriptions, within reason. Have you tried contacting any of the ones on our list? Rapamycin Prescription, Doctors that Prescribe It

Question for those who did: what typical annual costs and time commitments (e.g., labs) should one expect? I wonder how many of them are open to a one-time or infrequent consultations.
