Graded #279 · C
Strengths
- An established medical group with a defined 12-week programme rather than an open-ended subscription
- The price range and the 12-week total are both published, once you reach the costs page
- Semaglutide is prescribed and dispensed under a compounded pathway with clinician oversight
Where it loses points
- The published rate is a range by dose strength, $199 to $299, so the figure quoted is the floor rather than what a titrated patient pays
- The 12-week programme totals $699 including a telemedicine platform fee that is never itemised — about $233/mo all-in, not $199
- The weight-loss landing page carries no price at all; the numbers are two pages deeper, in the FAQ and the costs page
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not priced separately — one range covers the whole programme
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #90 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and oral options, starting around $149/mo (sema) and $199/mo (tirz)
- Bundles dietitians, live workouts, support groups and mental-health coaching with the medication, not just a prescription
- Insurance concierge to maximize coverage, FSA/HSA eligible, with multi-month plans that cut the price further
- Large, established program (115,000+ members, Trustpilot 4.7) available nationwide
Where it loses points
- Uses partner compounding pharmacies it doesn't name on the site
- Headline prices are Spring-sale rates — everyday cost is higher and the deepest discounts need a 6-month commitment
- Weight loss is one of several verticals (ED, longevity, sleep, hair, skin), not a single focus
- Some bundled perks (e.g. meal prep) are paid add-ons rather than included
