Hormonally Balanced

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
Transparent Meds

Graded #282 · C

Strengths

  • Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
  • Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
  • HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal

Where it loses points

  • Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
  • Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
  • Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
