Graded #364 · C
Strengths
- Care led by board-certified obesity-medicine physicians
- Multidisciplinary team with NPs, dietitians, and care coordinators
- Published outcomes of about 13 to 16 percent weight loss over 12 months
- High GLP-1 medication adherence (around 86 percent in reported data)
- Comprehensive cardiometabolic care beyond GLP-1 alone
Where it loses points
- Distributed primarily via employers, payers, and health plans, not direct cash-pay
- Access is largely gated behind employer or plan sponsorship
- GLP-1 is prescribed only when appropriate, not guaranteed
- Self-pay pricing is not publicly listed (contact required)
- Less suited to consumers wanting fast direct-to-door GLP-1
Graded #61 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $199/mo, plus a $129/mo microdose option
- Flat pricing — the same monthly cost at every dose as you titrate up
- All-inclusive: medication, unlimited 24/7 provider messaging, and free shipping bundled in
- Names its compounding pharmacy — Strive Pharmacy (licensed 503A)
- Available in all 50 states with same-day approvals
Where it loses points
- Operates as a technology platform, not the medical provider itself
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this honestly)
- Aggressive marketing results claims (e.g. '18% average', '93% kept it off') with 'results not typical' disclaimers
- Legal entity name not published (footer shows only 'Zera Health')
