Eden Health GLP-1

#1 of 48

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

+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

−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.

Ro

Pros

+Carries Foundayo (orforglipron) — Eli Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1 launched April 6, 2026 — at $149-299/mo via LillyDirect matching
+Direct insurance billing with major carriers — with coverage, Wegovy or Zepbound can cost $0-25/mo copay
+Ro Body membership: $39 first month, $149/mo ongoing, or $74/mo on annual prepay ($100/mo savings)
+Claims matched pricing with LillyDirect, NovoCare, and TrumpRx — some of the lowest cash brand prices available

Cons

−Membership and medication are billed separately — readers need to add them together for the all-in monthly cost
−Brand-name only — no compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (compounded 'limited' footnote from prior years is not reliably offered now)
−Without insurance, brand-name meds stack on top of the $149 membership ($199+ intro, $349+ ongoing for Wegovy injection)
