Eden Health GLP-1

#39 of 53
6.9/10

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.

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and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost.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.

  • +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

  • 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.
  • FDA warning letter #728279, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading marketing claims about compounded GLP-1 products. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an allegation that medication was unsafe.

MEDGm

  • +Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved

  • +Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be

Cons

  • 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
