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

semaglutidetirzepatidemetformin

Pros

✓One of the cheapest published entry prices in the category: "GLP-1's As Low as $118"
✓Both a GLP-1 with B12 and a GLP-1 + GIP with B12 injectable are offered, so semaglutide-class and tirzepatide-class options are both available
✓A free assessment before you pay anything
✓It is explicit that medication only follows a real consultation: "Before receiving any medication, patients are required to complete an online assessment and have a consultation with one of our healthcare providers"
✓Metformin is offered from $69.98, which is a legitimate lower-cost option for some patients rather than an upsell
✓A wider catalogue including B-12, lipotropic injections and peptides for people who want them
✓Prices for every product line are published on the collection pages rather than gated behind signup

Cons

✗The medication is compounded and not FDA-approved
✗"Tested in FDA approved labs" is a phrase that does not mean anything specific. The FDA does not approve labs in this sense, and the claim implies a regulatory blessing the product does not have
✗"As low as $118" is a floor price with no dose ladder published, so it is unclear what happens to the price as you titrate
✗Adding B12 to a compounded GLP-1 is a common way to make a product "personalised" enough to justify compounding it. There is no evidence B12 improves weight-loss outcomes
✗No phone number, support email or business address is published
✗No refund, cancellation, HSA/FSA or insurance information is published
✗No pharmacy is named
✗No states-served list
