The verdict

Optimized Health takes it — 67.2/100 to 46.7/100.

Optimized Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Optimized Health is a concierge medical weight loss and hormone clinic offering clinician-supervised GLP-1 programs with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus oral options like phentermine.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.
