Graded #62 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, competitive pricing published up front — compounded semaglutide from $120/mo, tirzepatide from $180/mo, retatrutide from $170/mo
- No subscription, monthly fee or membership — a direct-to-patient model where you pay per medication, and follow-up visits are free
- Free initial consults for first responders, law enforcement, military, nurses and teachers ($0), and $25 for other healthcare workers
- Founded and led by a named family nurse practitioner (Tiffani McKnight, FNP-C) licensed across 30 states/DC, with HIPAA-compliant virtual visits
- HSA/FSA funds and financing accepted, with itemized invoices for HSA/FSA submission
Where it loses points
- Offers compounded retatrutide (labeled "RTT/GLP-3"), an investigational triple agonist not FDA-approved — a higher-risk, less-studied option
- Compounded medications only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- No LegitScript certification shown and no compounding-pharmacy partner named, so the dispensing pharmacy can't be independently verified
- Small, newly established founder-led practice with a thin website and limited public track record or third-party reviews
- Medication prices are "starting at" and billed on top of a one-time consult fee, so the true first-month cost runs higher than the headline
Graded #283 · C
Strengths
- One flat $199/month price covering medication, provider review and shipping, with no consultation fee and no dose-change surcharge
- Charges nothing if a provider does not approve you
- Offers a deliberate low-dose microdosing protocol aimed at body composition, which most competitors do not break out
- Publishes a named legal entity, a US mailing address and a working phone number
- Pre-screening quiz is short and asks your goal before any medical question
Where it loses points
- Cancellation terms contradict three ways: the homepage says cancel anytime, the Terms say 48 hours notice, the FAQ says 30 days
- Availability is unclear: the homepage counter reads 3 states while the treatment pages say telehealth nationwide, and no state list is published
- Its chart cites placebo-controlled trials of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which do not exist; those trials studied the branded drugs
- No compounding pharmacy is named, and neither 503A nor 503B appears anywhere on the site
- Any returned prescription is charged a $35 disposal fee, and prescription orders cannot be cancelled at all after 24 hours
