Graded #173 · C
Strengths
- Three-GLP-1 lineup including liraglutide — rare in DTC and useful for patients sensitive to newer molecules
- Aggressive $99/mo starting tier with all doses included
- Multi-product platform (GLP-1, longevity, vitamin injectables, men's health, bundles)
- HSA/FSA accepted — uncommon for compounded GLP-1
- St. Petersburg, FL location and phone (305-930-8817) for accountability
Where it loses points
- 503A/503B pharmacy partner not named
- Full states-served list not disclosed
- No named medical director
- FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not prominently displayed
- Corporate legal entity not disclosed
Graded #400 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
