Hormonally Balanced vs Primary Clinic (Direct GLP)
The verdict
Primary Clinic (Direct GLP) takes it — 65.5/100 to 56.4/100.
Primary Clinic (Direct GLP) grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Primary Clinic (Direct GLP) is a Direct Primary Care membership rather than the usual direct-to-consumer GLP-1 marketplace.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #412 · C
Strengths
- Physician-led women's hormone clinic with concierge model
- Nationwide telehealth availability
- Semaglutide integrated with hormone care for women
- Named physician (Dr. Zachareas) oversees prescriptions
Where it loses points
- No pricing published online; must call or submit a form
- Weight loss is secondary to menopause/hormone focus
- Semaglutide only; no tirzepatide listed
- Compounded vs brand formulation not disclosed
Graded #219 · C
Strengths
- Direct Primary Care model integrates GLP-1 with continuous primary care — unlike most direct-to-consumer platforms
- GLP-1 at wholesale cost with no markup — semaglutide from $65/mo, tirzepatide from $110/mo (members only)
- Unlimited primary care visits, direct text access, and same-day care bundled in the $89/mo membership
- Routine labs and thousands of medications included in membership — no surprise bills
- Per-dose pricing shown publicly for all 8 dose tiers of both semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- The medication price is on top of an $89/mo direct-primary-care membership, which the FAQ states does not include the drug — all-in is about $174/mo for semaglutide and $222/mo for tirzepatide
- Prices are published as dose BANDS rather than per dose, and the cheapest tirzepatide band starts at 1.25 mg, below the 2.5 mg labelled starting dose
- The pricing is rendered entirely in JavaScript, so nothing on the page is readable without running the site's bundle
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
