MD Trim Clinic vs Rixa Health
The verdict
Rixa Health takes it — 60.5/100 to 56.1/100.
Rixa Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Rixa Health is a direct-to-consumer functional-medicine telehealth practice prescribing compounded and oral semaglutide and tirzepatide (plus other peptides) for weight loss via partner US pharmacies.

Graded #421 · C
Strengths
- Physician DO + NP team (Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O. and Andrea Farris, N.P.) provides strong clinical oversight
- Compounded meds from LegitScript-certified pharmacies — higher supply-chain trust than many small practices
- Tiered dosing structure (Level 1 / Level 2) with B12 added to reduce nausea side effects
- Both telehealth and in-person options available (AZ Phoenix and CA Novato offices)
- Partnered mobile IV services available for enhanced nausea management and hydration support
Where it loses points
- Pricing not disclosed publicly — must contact clinic for quotes, limiting upfront comparison shopping
- Only AZ and CA confirmed — very limited geographic reach, excludes nearly all of the US
- No LegitScript certification for the clinic itself (only pharmacy partners are LegitScript-certified)
- Small practice with limited online presence and no published patient reviews or outcomes data
- No labs, coaching, or monitoring protocols disclosed on the site
Graded #320 · C
Strengths
- Functional-medicine, root-cause clinical approach
- Compounded and oral semaglutide plus tirzepatide offered
- Board-certified DO and FNP providers with years of experience
- Medication bundled with visits into a single price
- No charge until after approval
Where it loses points
- No public monthly pricing; quoted only during consultation
- Relies on compounded GLP-1, which is not FDA-approved as a finished drug
- A handful of states still listed as coming soon
- Branded GLP-1 medications are not the primary offering
- Requires ongoing monthly follow-up commitment
