Graded #125 · C
Strengths
- Year-long program with 1:1 video coaching, dietitian support, and behavior-change curriculum — a deeper clinical wrap than transactional telehealth
- $199/month program fee is competitive; medication co-pay can drop to ~$25/month with insurance and a manufacturer savings card
- Branded GLP-1s only (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Foundayo) — no compounded products
- Insurance navigation team works to maximize coverage and reportedly accepts most major commercial plans
- Money-back guarantee tied to a 10% weight-loss outcome over the program year
Where it loses points
- Medication cost is on top of the $199/month fee; cash-pay patients face full manufacturer pricing
- Insurance navigation only helps if your plan actually covers branded GLP-1s for weight loss — many don't
- Meaningfully more expensive than compounded telehealth if your insurance denies coverage
- Distinct from 'Oxford's Medical Weight Loss (The Calibrate Clinic)' — don't confuse the two
- Initial 3-month commitment required ($597 total, billed as $199/mo) before it renews month-to-month — more lock-in than month-to-month rivals
Graded #169 · C
Strengths
- Sublingual ODT tablets offered as needle-free alternative
- Broad GLP-1 menu: semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide
- Transparent pricing: $150 starting dose, plans from $149/mo
- Led by board-certified physician/surgeon with 25+ years experience
- No contracts; flexible weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cadence
Where it loses points
- Specific dose-tier pricing beyond starting plan not detailed
- Compounded vs brand not explicitly stated for all meds
- Smaller clinic vs national telehealth brands
- State licensing list not published
