The Shape Theory

About The Shape Theory

What is The Shape Theory?

The Shape Theory is a telehealth practice with an address at 625 W College Street Suite 101 in Los Angeles, California. It serves patients in California and New York. Its main work is medical weight loss and peptide care, and it offers two services: Metabolic Weight Loss and Peptide Treatments. Amber Mottola, FNP, is the only prescriber named. She describes more than 15 years in emergency medicine and more than 6 years in clinical research focused on metabolic health and GLP-1 therapies.

The weight loss service names semaglutide and tirzepatide, along with the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound and Rybelsus. It also offers oral forms of both drugs. It describes its medications as compounded versions prepared by a licensed pharmacy. The peptide menu includes BPC-157, TB-500, a blend of the two called the Wolverine Blend, Ara-290, sermorelin and tesamorelin, among others.

In its own words: "Through personalized telehealth visits, every plan is tailored to your goals, lifestyle, medical history, and long-term wellness vision." Its Google rating is 5 from 23 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Neither service shows a dollar amount, and no consultation fee is listed, though the site has a "Book a consultation" button. It does not say whether medication is included in any price.

"The Practice operates on a self-pay basis and does not bill insurance." It links a refund policy in its footer, but it does not publish refund or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the consultation, each follow-up visit and any lab work cost. Ask whether any program fee covers the medication, and which pharmacy fills it. Since it describes its medications as compounded, ask whether a brand-name version is an option for the drug you have in mind.

Ask whether Amber Mottola, FNP, signs your prescription and whether she handles follow-up. The peptide menu requires a medical evaluation and labs within 12 months before starting, so ask what those labs cost and where they are drawn.

Ask which states it serves. The main pages say California and New York, but a profile block on the site also lists Florida and Arizona. Ask whether it sees patients in person at the Los Angeles address, since it does not say. Ask how refunds and cancellation work before you pay anything.

If you compete in tested sport, ask about the Wolverine Blend. The peptide menu says it is not for use in athletes subject to WADA or USADA testing.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in California or New York, are comfortable with telehealth visits and paying yourself, and want straight answers on prices, refunds and compounding before you commit.
