Graded #76 · C
Strengths
- Two named 503A compounding pharmacy partners disclosed on first-party pages (Hallandale Pharmacy + VialsRx)
- Hallandale Pharmacy is PCAB-accredited and operating since 2003 (independently verified)
- LegitScript Certified (seal ID 49690100 in footer)
- Flat per-tier pricing — no dose-escalation surcharge
- Annual commitment delivers $99/mo semaglutide and $135/mo tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and not therapeutically equivalent to Wegovy/Zepbound
- Leanio Health LLC has zero independent operating-history footprint (no BBB, no press, likely <12 months old)
- Lowest advertised prices require 12-month commitment with no partial refunds
- No brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound or oral GLP-1 (orforglipron/Rybelsus) options
- Founder names and funding undisclosed on site
Graded #59 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, competitive pricing published up front — compounded semaglutide from $120/mo, tirzepatide from $180/mo, retatrutide from $170/mo
- No subscription, monthly fee or membership — a direct-to-patient model where you pay per medication, and follow-up visits are free
- Free initial consults for first responders, law enforcement, military, nurses and teachers ($0), and $25 for other healthcare workers
- Founded and led by a named family nurse practitioner (Tiffani McKnight, FNP-C) licensed across 30 states/DC, with HIPAA-compliant virtual visits
- HSA/FSA funds and financing accepted, with itemized invoices for HSA/FSA submission
Where it loses points
- Offers compounded retatrutide (labeled "RTT/GLP-3"), an investigational triple agonist not FDA-approved — a higher-risk, less-studied option
- Compounded medications only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- No LegitScript certification shown and no compounding-pharmacy partner named, so the dispensing pharmacy can't be independently verified
- Small, newly established founder-led practice with a thin website and limited public track record or third-party reviews
- Medication prices are "starting at" and billed on top of a one-time consult fee, so the true first-month cost runs higher than the headline
