Graded #470 · C
Strengths
- Women's microdosing program specifically designed for perimenopause/menopause weight management
- 100% virtual nationwide telehealth; medications shipped discreetly to patients' homes
- 503A state-licensed compounding pharmacies with patient-specific prescription preparation
- $199 initial plan covers doctor consultation, telehealth setup, and full onboarding
- Ongoing 3-month treatment plans include compounded medication and licensed provider check-ins
Where it loses points
- Ongoing medication pricing not publicly disclosed — revealed only after $199 intake and provider approval
- No LegitScript certification or any other third-party accreditation visible on the site
- No physician names or clinical leadership disclosed publicly
- States served listed as 'nationwide' for telehealth but no state-by-state list published
- Microdose framing uses sub-clinical doses — potentially lower weight-loss efficacy than standard GLP-1 protocols
Graded #44 · C+
Strengths
- Pure GLP-1 specialist — not a multi-category telehealth platform
- All 50 states coverage with licensed clinicians
- Both compounded and brand-name options (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound)
- Oral GLP-1 option (compounded dissolvable tablets) for needle-averse patients
- LegitScript certified
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide at $179/mo is mid-range (not the cheapest)
- Brand-name options at near-retail pricing ($997-$1,086/mo)
