Eden Health GLP-1

#1 of 52

8.9/10

Premium online weight-loss program from Eden Health (San Francisco, founded 2021). Different from competitors in one specific way: every patient is paired with a board-certified obesity medicine doctor (a doctor with specialized training in weight and metabolism), not a general practitioner or nurse. Quarterly blood panels (metabolic, lipid, A1C) are included in the monthly cost. Eden prescribes both compounded GLP-1s (custom-made versions, not the FDA-approved brand) and brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro.

Pros & Cons Compared

Eden Health GLP-1

Pros

+4.5 stars across 3,777 verified Trustpilot reviews, 77% give 5 stars. Replies to 99% of negative reviews. The strongest customer-experience signal of any provider in our table.
+Doctors are board-certified obesity medicine specialists, not general practitioners. Specialized training in weight and metabolism.
+Quarterly blood panels (metabolic, lipid, A1C) are included in the monthly price. Most competitors don't include labs.
+Mandatory check-in with the doctor before each dose increase. Won't rush you up the ladder.
+Full medication choice: compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide AND brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro.

Cons

−$249/mo ongoing (month-to-month) is on the high end. Henry Meds is $199/mo for similar compounded care without labs; MEDVi is $179/mo.
−Cash-pay only, no insurance billing.
−Cancellation friction is the main 1-star Trustpilot complaint (13% of reviews). Some users report being billed or shipped after they canceled.
−Their website is not always user-friendly, multiple Trustpilot users mention they had to contact support to make payment or account changes.
−Pharmacy partner not named specifically, 'state-licensed compounding pharmacies' in their marketing, but no individual facility named.

Maximus

Pros

+Lowest entry price in the market, $79.99/mo microdose semaglutide, $99.99/mo 3-month starter pack
+GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
+Nausea-reducing formula with added glycine and B12 to ease GLP-1 side effects
+Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

−The $99.99/mo rate is introductory: standard dosing is $299.99/mo, with consultations billed separately at $28-35 and labs at $199-349/yr, so budget on the standard rate, not the intro
−Compounding pharmacy partners are not disclosed, a transparency gap for a healthcare platform
−Bulk-plan prices rise as your dose escalates; ask for the full dose-price schedule up front so total cost isn't a surprise

Our Verdict

Eden Health GLP-1 edges out Maximus with a score of 8.9/10 vs 7.1/10. If budget is your priority, Maximus starts at $150/mo compared to Eden Health GLP-1's $249/mo. Eden Health GLP-1 offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose Eden Health GLP-1 if you want: people with diabetes, heart conditions, or other risk factors who want a doctor (not a nurse) overseeing their glp-1, with blood panels included.. Choose Maximus if you want: men who want glp-1 alongside testosterone or other men's health protocols.
