LivBody

#52 of 52

2.9/10

GLP-1 telehealth program from LivBody, the fitness-influencer supplement brand founded by Paige Hathaway in 2018 (legal entity LivBody HoldCo LLC). The GLP-1 arm launched around early 2026 and is an OpenLoop white-label: clinicians come from OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC (the terms also use the name 'LivBody Healthcare Partners, PC'), the listed Des Moines, IA headquarters is OpenLoop's office, and cancellations go through an OpenLoop support desk. Sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections, with the consult and free expedited overnight shipping included in the monthly price. Prescriptions are filled by four named compounding pharmacies: RedRock Pharmacy (UT), Health Warehouse (KY), Precision Compounding (NY), and Triad Rx (AL).

Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

+One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly, can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
+Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
+Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options, switches based on insurance formulary
+Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)

Cons

−The coaching-heavy model adds complexity, three different plan tiers with different inclusions
−Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically

LivBody

Pros

+Four compounding pharmacies named WITH street addresses, RedRock Pharmacy (UT), Health Warehouse (KY), Precision Compounding (NY), and Triad Rx (AL), more pharmacy transparency than most competitors offer
+Named medical group, OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC, most white-label storefronts name no one
+Consult and shipping included in the monthly price ('no hidden fees'), with free expedited overnight shipping
+Real 8-year-old brand with a named founder, Paige Hathaway founded LivBody in 2018, this is not an anonymous pop-up storefront
+Proper compounded-medication disclosures, the site states plainly that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Available in all 50 states plus DC (terms hedge that 'some services may not be available in all states')

Cons

−Pricing contradicts itself on the SAME page: landing cards say 'Starting at $179'/mo semaglutide and $279/mo tirzepatide, but the FAQ says the program 'starts at just $249/month'. Checkout is captcha-gated, so we could not resolve which number is real, confirm the actual price at checkout before paying
−Terms state ALL FEES NON-REFUNDABLE (in all-caps), which contradicts an undefined 'LIV Body guarantee' badge on the landing page
−The GLP-1 program is an OpenLoop white-label: clinicians are OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC, the listed Des Moines HQ is OpenLoop's office, and the cancellation desk is an OpenLoop zohodesk email. The LivBody supplement brand is not the one treating you
−Zero independent GLP-1 track record: Trustpilot shows 0 reviews (profile claimed February 2026), and the BBB rates the supplement entity (Liv Body LLC, Henderson NV) B-, not accredited, with an unanswered complaint
−Supplement-product testimonials are recycled onto the GLP-1 page as patient social proof
−Pharmacy partner Triad Rx (AL) received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations; the FDA closed it out in May 2023, we state both facts because both matter
−Broken legal links: the Medical Consent and Patient Bill of Rights documents point to start.livbody.com, a domain that does not resolve
−No named medical director, no labs, no video-visit path, no clinical infrastructure disclosed beyond the OpenLoop group name
−Injectables only, no oral or sublingual option, no microdose tier, no brand-name access, and no LegitScript certification found (the site links only the LegitScript checker)

Our Verdict

Fridays edges out LivBody with a score of 8.7/10 vs 2.9/10. If budget is your priority, LivBody starts at $179/mo compared to Fridays's $249/mo. Fridays accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Fridays offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose Fridays if you want: users who want a holistic program with coaching, nutrition support, and flexible pricing. Choose LivBody if you want: followers of the livbody supplement brand who specifically want compounded glp-1 injections tied to a name they already know, and who will confirm the real monthly price at checkout before paying.
