Graded #191 · C
Strengths
- Flat monthly membership bundles the medication, telehealth visits, a 1:1 care coach and a licensed registered dietitian — one price, no hidden fees
- Same price every dose, no auto-renewal, cancel anytime; free shipping and no insurance needed (FSA eligible)
- Names a compounding pharmacy partner (Foothills Pharmacy) and states it services all 50 states
- Free, no-obligation online assessment before you pay anything
Where it loses points
- Shows a LegitScript 'approval' but links only a generic directory search, not a verifiable seal — we couldn't independently confirm it
- Promo-driven pricing with a countdown timer and 'price increases' urgency; the standing membership is $129 (sema) / $179 (tirz)
- A technology platform that coordinates care, not the medical provider; individual clinicians and a medical director aren't named on the site
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
Graded #347 · C
Strengths
- Integrative psychiatry model combines GLP-1 weight-loss with mental health and metabolic care under one board-certified NP provider
- Founded by Dr. Raashida Portier (DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC); named clinician with dual board certifications in psychiatry and family medicine
- Membership-supported ongoing care from $49/month provides medication management structure with consistent follow-up
- Labs and metabolic workup available as part of integrative psychiatry model; lab testing noted in weight-loss program
- Weight-loss page claims nationwide availability via Lyv Health partnership for eligible patients
Where it loses points
- GLP-1 medication pricing fully gated — not disclosed until consultation; compounded vs. brand status unclear on public pages
- Primarily a psychiatric practice — weight loss is a secondary service, not the core offering or brand identity
- Core services explicitly Florida-only; nationwide weight-loss claim relies on Lyv Health partnership with unverified state coverage
- No LegitScript certification or third-party accreditation found on public pages
- Small single-provider practice with no published outcomes data or external reviews available
