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 #145 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified with active seal (ID 51177727)
- Semaglutide starting at $179/month with free shipping included
- 1:1 direct provider messaging and personalized titration plan in every plan
- Nutrition coaching included with the weight-loss program
- Provider review completed within 24 hours; no insurance required
Where it loses points
- Tirzepatide at $329/month starting is at the high end of the compounded market
- Compounding pharmacy not named on any public page
- No physician names or clinical leadership disclosed publicly
- Only 47 states covered — the 3 excluded states are not named on the site
- Labs not included in the weight-loss plan
