Hone Health

Pros

+Full health optimization platform covering hormones, longevity, and metabolic health beyond just weight loss
+Starts patients on gentler liraglutide before escalating — reduces first-week side effect severity
+Both compounded and potentially brand-name GLP-1 options available depending on clinical assessment

Cons

−Layered pricing: $65 initial consult + $149/mo membership + medication cost = $300-650/mo total — one of the most expensive options
−Select state availability — not available nationwide, and coverage varies by specific treatment program
−The $149/mo membership fee is required even before you can purchase any medication

Strut Health

Pros

+Simple enrollment: online questionnaire, async provider review, medication shipped to your door

Cons

−Oral compounded semaglutide only — no injectables, no tirzepatide, no brand-name options
