Both programs use compounded GLP-1 medications on their lowest-priced plans. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Prescription treatment, if appropriate, is determined by a licensed provider.
Four criteria, applied the same way to every program we cover.
We track published pricing, hidden fees, and any annual commitments required to hit the lowest advertised price. No asterisks.
We verify licensing, response times, and the actual clinical depth of the consultation you receive after you sign up.
Range of medications, dose flexibility, and how easily you can adjust your protocol based on side effects or progress.
Availability, channels, and post-treatment guidance. We test every program with real questions before publishing.
