Alegro Health vs Genesis Lifestyle Medicine
The verdict
Alegro Health takes it — 58.9/100 to 57.7/100, but only just.
Alegro Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Alegro Health is a HIPAA telehealth practice based in McKinney, Texas that offers a low-cost compounded semaglutide weight-loss starter. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
