Calibrate

#14 of 53

7.7/10

Metabolic health company offering a physician-led program restructured in 2026: a $199/mo program fee with a 3-month minimum commitment (no more $1,649 one-time enrollment fee), plus separately billed medication. The program includes nutrition coaching, labs, a smart scale, and a 10%+ weight-loss guarantee with 50% money-back.

MEDGm

#53 of 53

2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179/mo and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost. The compounded prices are readable before intake and the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, which is more than several better-known programs manage. The gap is verification: no clinician, no pharmacy and no accreditation is named anywhere on the site or in its terms.

Pros & Cons Compared

+Board-certified physicians with metabolic health specialization lead treatment
+10%+ body-weight-loss guarantee with 50% money-back if not met
+Includes labs, nutrition coaching, personalized smart scale, and sleep/exercise support

Cons

−Medication cost is separate and varies significantly by payer route

−Onboarding still takes 2-3 weeks to complete baseline labs and treatment plan

MEDGm

Pros

+Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
+Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be

Cons

−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms promise a partner list that the terms do not contain
−Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared
−No lab panel is offered or required at any tier
−The homepage claims 120,000+ patients on a domain registered 2026-04-08; we could not reconcile the two
−A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
−No third-party rating exists that we could locate and verify
