Graded #370 · C
Strengths
- Transparent pricing: wholesale cost + 15% markup + $5 pharmacy fee, the same for everyone
- Around $279/mo for branded Ozempic — well below typical retail list prices
- Mark Cuban's PBM-disrupting pharmacy, praised by Forbes Health, Wired, and KFF Health News
- Ships to all 50 states; genuine FDA-approved Novo Nordisk Ozempic, not compounded
- Partnered with 9amHealth so you can get prescribed and fill at Cost Plus pricing
Where it loses points
- Fulfillment only — no telehealth intake; you need a prescription from an outside clinician
- Ozempic is FDA-indicated for type 2 diabetes, not weight management — weight-loss use is off-label
- Wegovy availability has been spotty — check current stock before assuming it ships
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — brand only
- No clinical follow-up — side-effect monitoring falls to your prescribing clinician
Graded #347 · C
Strengths
- Integrative psychiatry model combines GLP-1 weight-loss with mental health and metabolic care under one board-certified NP provider
- Founded by Dr. Raashida Portier (DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC); named clinician with dual board certifications in psychiatry and family medicine
- Membership-supported ongoing care from $49/month provides medication management structure with consistent follow-up
- Labs and metabolic workup available as part of integrative psychiatry model; lab testing noted in weight-loss program
- Weight-loss page claims nationwide availability via Lyv Health partnership for eligible patients
Where it loses points
- GLP-1 medication pricing fully gated — not disclosed until consultation; compounded vs. brand status unclear on public pages
- Primarily a psychiatric practice — weight loss is a secondary service, not the core offering or brand identity
- Core services explicitly Florida-only; nationwide weight-loss claim relies on Lyv Health partnership with unverified state coverage
- No LegitScript certification or third-party accreditation found on public pages
- Small single-provider practice with no published outcomes data or external reviews available
