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.

Sesame Care

#10 of 48

7.9/10

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.

Sesame Care

Pros

+Success by Sesame program launched 2026 — $59/mo on a 3/6/12-month plan, bundles labs, unlimited messaging, and provider choice

Cons

−Membership model adds complexity — two distinct products (pay-per-visit vs Success membership) can be confusing
−Success by Sesame requires a 3-month minimum commitment to hit the $59/mo rate
−Compounded meds are de-emphasized on the current marketing — focus has shifted to FDA-approved brand-name paths
−Less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms like Willow or Eden Health
