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 #380 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $150/mo including medication and refrigerated home shipping — no hidden fees stated on site
- Backed by 64-clinic chain operating across 10 states with medical providers for in-person or telehealth care
- Telehealth consultations from home; $100 initial visit, $40 follow-up every 1–3 months
- Nutrition counseling and lifestyle planning included as part of personalized treatment program
- Free weight-loss consultation option available before committing to paid evaluation
Where it loses points
- Telehealth GLP-1 program currently Texas-only; rolling out more states but no timeline published
- Tirzepatide not confirmed for online program; only compounded semaglutide explicitly listed
- Labs not included or mentioned; no baseline bloodwork protocol disclosed on website
- Dose-escalation pricing not published; $150/mo is entry dose only, higher doses may cost more
- No LegitScript, named medical director, or publicly disclosed compounding pharmacy partner found
