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

- Weight loss is one service among many, not a dedicated GLP-1 specialist
Graded #117 · C
Strengths
- Among the lowest compounded pricing — semaglutide from $99/mo and tirzepatide from $133/mo, with no membership and no hidden fees
- Board-certified providers in all 50 states; no insurance required and free express delivery
- Offers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus a longevity track
- Full legal suite published (Privacy, Terms, HIPAA, Refunds & Cancellations)
Where it loses points
- The $133/mo tirzepatide price is flagged 'limited time' — verify current pricing before enrolling
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro
- Displays a self-hosted LegitScript badge but no verifiable seal or listing
- Compounding pharmacy not named; appears to be a newer, smaller clinic (~300 patients/month)
