Why Mod Med?

Mod Med Health was founded and created by Dr. Tyler Handcock and Dan Veranth.  As partners in life since 2003 they sought a way to build their own business in a space they were passionate about. Being avid fitness enthusiasts they realized that not every one has the time and means to commit to daily exercise and healthy eating habits.

With the introduction of GLP-1 medications they realized there was a great opportunity to help friends, family, and clients lead a healthier lifestyle.  Due to limitations created by the health insurance industry much of the population that desires to utilize these medications did not qualify and paying out of pocket for the name brand medications was ridiculously expensive.  Because of this, a new pipeline for these medications became available by utilizing compounding pharmacies to create identical medications with out the high price tag.

The availability of GLP-1 medications through compounding pharmacies has created dozens of new medical weight loss options.  A simple internet search will provide dozens of online companies.  But, after reviewing, one will discover that many of these online weight loss programs feature hidden costs, minimum purchase requirements, and in some cases minimal or no medical support. That is how the first business segment of Mod Med Health was formed.  We feature upfront pricing, monthly programs, and an actual Austin-based medical doctor with over 20 years of experience.  Our goal is to make access to GLP-1 options easy and hassle free. We prioritize assisting our clients build healthy lifestyles over profits.

What is Our Mission?

Mod Med was created to simplify access to modern methods of wellness and weight loss.

Our RX Weight Loss services is supervised by Dr. Tyler Handcock. Dr. Handcock has been a board certified OBGYN in the Austin area since 2008. Over the years he noticed one of the top compliants of menopause is weight gain. Recent utilization of GLP -1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, & Zepbound)has made this easier to achieve results. Unfortunately, many insurance policies do not cover the cost of name brand medications and many physicians are reluctant to adopt new treatments to longstanding conditions. To combat these conditions we have created a weight loss program that is convenient, provides easy scheduling, and that provides access to GLP-1 equivalents (Semaglutide & Tirzepatide) at affordable prices with no hidden costs.

There are many existing businesses that provide IV therapy in the Austin area. We found that many of those businesses have lengthy and confusing product offerings and pricing structures. We sought to simply the offering and pricing to IV therapy services in Austin.
