Graded #282 · C
Strengths
- Publishes plan pricing openly, before any intake or account creation
- Month-to-month with no long-term contract and no multi-month prepayment
- Billing starts only after a licensed provider approves treatment
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Its own pricing page contradicts itself: it claims no separate consultation charges, then states a $25-$60 fee applies per visit
- The consultation fee is charged whether or not a prescription is issued
- Advertised $129 and $199 rates are time-limited founding rates; standard rates are $249 and $299
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the site
- Shipping claims conflict: a 48-hour figure on the homepage against 1-2 days to ship plus 2-3 days transit in the FAQ

- Free weight-loss consultation option available before committing to paid evaluation
Where it loses points
