Get Thin MD vs Optimized Health
The verdict
Optimized Health takes it — 67.2/100 to 66.7/100, but only just.
Optimized Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Optimized Health is a concierge medical weight loss and hormone clinic offering clinician-supervised GLP-1 programs with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus oral options like phentermine. Get Thin MD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #179 · C
Strengths
- 3-month compounded semaglutide at $169/mo is among the lowest ongoing prices in the category
- Price-lock promise — same price every dose, no hidden fees
- Both compounded and brand-name options on one platform (sema, tirz, plus Ozempic and Zepbound)
- Nationwide availability with async evaluation — no in-person visit
- Broader wellness menu (sermorelin, NAD+, HRT, hair loss) lets you consolidate protocols
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications aren't FDA-approved and lack the review of brand-name GLP-1s
- Pharmacy partners not named — no way to verify the compounding source or batch testing
- Claims nationwide coverage but publishes no state list — confirm at intake
- Headline results (9.6 lbs in 30 days) come from self-reported patient data, not a trial
- Wide wellness funnel may steer you toward non-weight-loss protocols
Graded #166 · C
Strengths
- Fully transparent pricing published on the website
- Semaglutide from $200/mo and tirzepatide from $250/mo
- Lab panels included with clinician-supervised dosing
- LegitScript certified clinic
- Lead PA-C with over a decade in obesity medicine
Where it loses points
- Telehealth limited to MO, IA, KS, UT, and WA
- Compounded GLP-1 only, not brand-name
- No insurance billing (cash-pay)
- PA-led rather than MD/DO-led
