LivBody

#54 of 54

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

Henry Meds

Pros

+Verified Trustpilot record is the largest in our table: 4.5 stars across 12,461 reviews (May 2026), 85% give 5 stars.
+Replies to 100% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours.
+Both compounded AND brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound) under one subscription, most providers force you to pick one path.
+Easy medication switching through the patient portal. If compounded isn't working, you can move to brand-name without re-enrolling.
+Cancel anytime, no fees. Provides superbills for FSA/HSA reimbursement.

Cons

−Pharmacy partner not publicly named on the site, Henry says 'licensed pharmacies' but doesn't name a specific facility. The previously-circulated 'Strive Pharmacy' name is not confirmed on Henry's current public-facing pages.
−Cash-pay only, $199/mo is entirely out-of-pocket (though FSA/HSA superbills are available).
−7% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star, the common theme is operational/communication issues with specific providers, not pricing surprises.
−Consultation wait times can stretch 3-5 days during peak periods (January, post-holiday).

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

Henry Meds edges out LivBody with a score of 8.4/10 vs 2.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Henry Meds is from $199/mo; LivBody is from $179/mo. Henry Meds offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
