Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s - Zepbound and Wegovy - rather than compounded preparations, so you get the exact product the trials studied
✓Accepts insurance including Medicare, and advertises as low as $0 copay for branded GLP-1s where coverage applies
✓Publishes cash prices too: Wegovy Pen from $199/month and Zepbound Vial from $349/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Offers an outcome-based guarantee: 'lose 10% of your weight or your money back', which ties the promise to a result rather than a satisfaction survey
✓HSA and FSA eligible
✓Weight care sits inside a full telehealth service, so urgent care, labs and other specialties are available under the same account

Cons

✗The rotating banner on the weight-management page shows the Wegovy Pen at both '$199' and '$499' in the same carousel, which makes the real starting price unclear before you sign up
✗The money-back guarantee carries a footnote marker on site, so read the qualifying conditions before relying on it
✗Insurance coverage for obesity medication is patchy, so the '$0 copay' outcome will not apply to many people and the cash prices are what you should plan around
✗A 4.0 Trustpilot average is mid-range for this category
✗Branded GLP-1s at $199-$349/month are more expensive than compounded alternatives, which is the trade-off for using an FDA-approved product
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy

Medications

semaglutide

Pros

✓Pricing is published without an intake: compounded semaglutide at $299/month, discounted from a stated $344, and Bella Capsules at $149/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Health coaching is bundled with the medication rather than sold as an upsell
✓The site states plainly that the medications are compounded, in the first line of the product description
✓An eligibility check is available before you commit to a plan

Cons

✗A Trustpilot average of 3.0 across roughly 1,000 largely unsolicited reviews is a real warning sign, and among the lowest of any provider on this site
✗The claim of 'up to 20% weight loss within 6 months' for compounded semaglutide does not match the evidence. The STEP-1 trial of branded semaglutide found about 15% over 68 weeks; 20% is closer to the tirzepatide figure, and neither trial studied a compounded product over six months
✗Describing its medication as containing ingredients 'clinically proven to be safe and effective' borrows the approved drug's evidence for a compounded preparation that has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗At $299/month for compounded semaglutide, it is among the more expensive compounded options we cover - several providers charge under $200
✗Trustpilot lists the company's location as the United Kingdom, so check service coverage before assuming US availability
✗No published phone number
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy
