Ascend Medical vs Bionomy Health
The verdict
Bionomy Health takes it — 66.6/100 to 55.9/100.
Bionomy Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Bionomy Health is a physician-led, direct-to-consumer men's telehealth service selling compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication alongside testosterone, peptides and longevity protocols.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #425 · C
Strengths
- Whole-person virtual primary care that includes a medical weight loss program
- Staffed by licensed MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs
- Integrates weight loss with primary, mental health and diabetes care
- Clear state availability (Georgia and Texas)
Where it loses points
- Available only in Georgia and Texas
- Specific GLP-1 medications and branded-vs-compounded status not published
- No pricing disclosed on public pages
- Weight loss is one service among many, not a dedicated GLP-1 specialist
Graded #182 · C
Strengths
- Cancellation is genuinely unconditional: no subscription, no card on file, no auto-renewal, no cancellation fee — you pay per refill
- Prices are published before intake on a dedicated GLP-1 page, and the same figures appear in the site's own llms.txt
- Available in 48 states
Where it loses points
- The $189 is a starting rate, not a flat one: the page says 'From', the product card says 'Starter', and doses are titrated every four weeks with no published price for the dose you end up on
- The homepage says muscle preservation is 'included' while the GLP-1 page sells a Muscle Preserve Pack at $109/mo as a separate line item
- No FDA-approved pathway and no oral route — the site does not mention Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro at all
- Not available in Alaska or Hawaii
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
