Graded #111 · C
Strengths
- $129/month compounded semaglutide is among the cheapest in the US market
- $169/month compounded tirzepatide is competitive with established platforms
- Complimentary workout and dietary plans bundled with medication — most peers don't
- LegitScript verified
- US-licensed clinicians
Where it loses points
- Parent company / legal entity not publicly disclosed
- State of incorporation not disclosed
- Per-state availability not listed — confirm your state ships before committing
- Pharmacy partners not publicly named
- Unclear whether lab work is included
Graded #267 · C
Strengths
- Branded, FDA-approved GLP-1s — Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Saxenda — rather than compounded copies
- The membership band is published before intake and is banded openly by level of coach support
- Medical visits, daily monitoring and 1-on-1 coaching are included in the membership at every tier
- Led by CMO Dr. Henry Legere (UC Berkeley, Columbia medicine, Harvard fellowship)
- Members with commercial insurance may pay around $25 a month for the medication after any deductible
Where it loses points
- The membership is overhead, not a medication price: it covers visits, monitoring and coaching, and the FAQ says medication pricing is confirmed only after a provider consultation
- No self-pay drug price is published anywhere, so the cost of a month cannot be worked out before signing up
- The best case depends on commercial insurance coverage; without it the medication cost is unknown
- No compounded option is disclosed — the programme is brand-focused, and brand list prices are the dearest route to a GLP-1
- The states it can prescribe in are not published
