Graded #221 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound) not compounded
- Insurance-based with prior-auth coverage for over 65% of members
- Board-certified obesity-medicine physicians
- Comprehensive program: dietitian, coaching, metabolic and genetic testing
- Established since 2015 with clinical track record
Where it loses points
- Available in only six states via partner clinics
- Requires in-network insurance; not a flat cash-pay option
- Not a pure-telehealth nationwide service
- Out-of-pocket cost varies by insurance coverage
- No compounded budget alternative for the uninsured
Graded #227 · C
Strengths
- Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide and tirzepatide) starting as low as $99/mo
- Names its compounding pharmacy partners (PerfectRx, The Pharmacy Hub, RX Compound Store) — uncommon transparency
- Free telehealth consult and free shipping; no membership or hidden fees
- Bi-weekly check-ins; operating since 2012
- Flexible monthly financing available at checkout
Where it loses points
- This is one physical clinic in Valdosta, Georgia, not a national telehealth service — nothing here is available to a reader outside Georgia
- The advertised 'as low as $99/month' is a semaglutide three-month starter pack ($299 paid up front), not a tirzepatide rate and not a monthly one
- Month-to-month rates are $199 semaglutide and $299 tirzepatide
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
