Graded #448 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus a low-dose GLP-1 "Longevity Microdose" option, all provider-guided
- Concierge model: dedicated provider, direct secure messaging, provider-directed dosing, and structured check-ins
- Every plan bundles compounded medication, provider care, and discreet direct delivery with no hidden fees
- No charge if you are not approved; published support hours (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm ET) by phone and email
Where it loses points
- GLP-1 program pricing is not published on the site — quoted only after provider review, so cost is not comparable up front
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not publicly named (a transparency gap for medication sourcing)
- No brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic — compounded formulations only
- State availability is not published; private-pay only, and the practice serves women, so it is not a fit for everyone
- No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation displayed on the marketing site
Graded #378 · C
Strengths
- Real, named local clinic in Houston with hands-on provider support, in-person visits and Google-reviewed patient experiences
- Low entry pricing — semaglutide from $170 and tirzepatide from $200 in month 1, with 3-month bundles ($500 / $600) that cut the effective monthly cost
- Packages include ongoing provider support, supplies and delivery
- Also offers IV hydration and NAD+ if you want broader wellness services in one place
Where it loses points
- Houston/Texas only — no nationwide telehealth, so it is not an option outside the local area
- Dose-escalating pricing climbs steeply (semaglutide reaches $330 by month 5; tirzepatide $425 by month 6)
- Compounding pharmacy is not named, and there is no LegitScript or published clinical-oversight detail
- Small single-location operation with no patient portal — booking and support run through Calendly and direct contact
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name or oral options
