Eden Health GLP-1

#42 of 54

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.

+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 for month one, then $299 for refills.
−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.

Zealthy

Cons

−The $135 membership stacks on medication cost, so cash-pay semaglutide totals ~$286/mo, above average. The math works when you use the insurance coordination; cash payers should compare flat-rate platforms first.
−Young company (founded 2023) with a relatively small review base and less track record than established platforms. Confirm the coordination promise against your own insurance plan before enrolling.
−Prescription products are non-refundable once ordered, for any reason. Double-check dose and supply length before checkout.
