Eden Health GLP-1

#1 of 49

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.

SkinnyRx

Pros

+Five medication formats — the broadest compounded-GLP-1 menu in DTC telehealth, including the rare oral tirzepatide tablet that almost no competitor offers
+$199/mo entry price for both injectable and sublingual semaglutide is competitive in the mid-tier compounded segment
+Fast onboarding: 5–10 minute online questionnaire, physician review in 24–48 hours, medication delivered in 3–7 business days with temperature-controlled shipping
+4,100+ Trustpilot reviews at 4.8 stars — among the strongest aggregate social-proof signals in the GLP-1 telehealth category

Cons

−No brand-name FDA-approved options (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) — compounded-only model limits patients who want or need an FDA-approved finished product
−Limited public transparency: founders, executive team, medical director, and specific compounding-pharmacy partners are not named on the public site
−Cash-pay only — does not bill commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid (HSA/FSA payments accepted)
−Independent reviews flag inconsistent customer-service responsiveness, which is a real concern for a medication that requires titration support and dose-adjustment dialogue
