Graded #378 · C
Strengths
- Established hormone- and peptide-optimization brand with board-certified specialists and a physician-plus-care-specialist support model
- Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide) weight care offered alongside TRT, menopause/BHRT, thyroid and sexual-wellness programs in one practice
- Coordinated couples care plans plus dedicated men's and women's tracks
- Free consultation to start, with published press, blog and FAQ resources
Where it loses points
- No GLP-1 pricing published — cost is only revealed after a consultation, so you can't compare value upfront
- Doesn't list the states it serves or name its compounding pharmacies
- Weight loss is one of many verticals, not a dedicated GLP-1-first program
- Tirzepatide availability isn't confirmed on the site; only compounded semaglutide is referenced
- Not shown on our price-ranked /best lists because no pricing is disclosed
Graded #498 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
