No. Lantern provides nutrition care from a Registered Dietitian. Your doctor, nurse practitioner or telehealth prescriber manages your medication and dosing. With your permission, we're happy to coordinate with them.

Yes. Our nutrition support is the same whether your medication is branded or compounded. We don't advise on where to buy medication; please discuss that with your prescriber.

One-to-one programs are available to clients located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia and Washington at the time of each session. We're adding more states as our team grows. Outside those states? Get our free SOS Kit and we'll let you know when we launch near you.

By card, HSA or FSA. Pay for a 3-month program in full, or choose a month-to-month plan. We can also provide a superbill so you can request possible out-of-network reimbursement from your health plan. More on payment.

A relaxed 60-minute video call. We'll review your health history, medication, any labs you can share, and your eating routine, then agree on two or three realistic first steps. Your personal plan, written by your dietitian, arrives within 48 hours of your assessment.

You can message your dietitian securely through the Lantern app. During Lantern Thrive and Lantern Landing you'll receive a reply within one business day; Lantern Continue members receive a reply within two business days.

We use a body-composition scan at a partner location near you where available, or a guided at-home method. We'll agree the best option at your first session.

To thank our first clients, the first 20 people who join Lantern Thrive or Lantern Landing by January 31, 2027 pay our founding price: $599 for Lantern Thrive and $549 for Lantern Landing, paid in full. The price is locked in for your 3-month program. Once 20 places are filled or the date passes, standard prices apply.

Yes. Lantern Thrive is $279/month and Lantern Landing is $259/month, with two one-to-one sessions a month, messaging with your dietitian and no commitment. The 3-month programs are better value and include bonuses, body-composition checks and our guarantees, so they're the best choice if you can commit to 3 months.

At your month-3 session we review your progress and plan what comes next. Most clients continue with Lantern Continue for $99/month: a monthly one-to-one session, messaging with replies within 2 business days and a body-composition check every 6 months, adjusted as your dose, appetite and goals change. You can cancel anytime.

No. In most states, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist or health coach, with no required training, exam or license. A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD or RDN) holds a legally protected credential: a degree in nutrition, a supervised clinical practice program, a national board exam, ongoing continuing education and, in many states, a license. Only a Registered Dietitian is trained and licensed to provide medical nutrition therapy, the kind of care that matters when you take a medication like a GLP-1 or manage a condition such as diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease. Every Lantern program is delivered by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
