Weight-loss drugs are life-changing — and expensive. Here's one woman's solution.

• A woman who had life-changing results on a popular weight loss drug struggled to afford it for years.
• She found stability with a cheaper version of the medication through the booming telehealth market.
• Drug makers have come under scrutiny for high prices in the US, where meds can cost $1000 monthly.

Tara Rothenhoefer, a 49-year-old Florida resident, says her life changed when she joined a clinical trial for a promising new weight-loss medication.
