LivBody beats MEDGm overall, scoring 2.9/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: LivBody is from $99/mo; MEDGm is $179 first month, rises after. Choose LivBody for 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. Choose MEDGm for shoppers who want a compounded glp-1 with the price visible before intake, and who can live with a program that names its pharmacies and its medical group but not a single prescribing clinician.

2.9/10

GLP-1 telehealth program from LivBody, the fitness-influencer supplement brand founded by Paige Hathaway in 2018 (telehealth entity LivBody HoldCo LLC, store entity LivBody Wellness, LLC). The GLP-1 arm launched around early 2026 and is an OpenLoop white-label: the program page says medical treatment is provided by OpenLoop Health and its affiliated medical corporations, the listed Des Moines, IA headquarters is OpenLoop's office, and the terms route cancellations through an OpenLoop support address. Sells compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and compounded tirzepatide from $149/mo as weekly injections, with the consult and free expedited 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).

2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179 a month and dissolvable tablets from $249 a month, with Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic advertised on the same page as a $99 or $171 membership plus a medication cost the site never publishes. The compounded prices are readable before intake, the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, the four partner pharmacies are named with street addresses in the terms, and the medical group behind the prescribing is named as OpenLoop Health. The problem is consistency. The site calls $179 all-inclusive of the first month of medication in one place and membership plus cost in another, it advertises HSA and FSA eligibility on the GLP-1 page while its terms disclaim any guarantee of it, and the three brand rows have no product page and no total.

Pros & Cons Compared

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: the program page credits OpenLoop Health, and the privacy notice names the three medical corporations behind it, most white-label storefronts name no one
+Consult and shipping included in the monthly price, with 'Free expedited shipping.' and 'No membership fees.' both stated on the program page
+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
+Broad coverage claimed, the telehealth terms say services are currently offered in all 50 states plus Washington D.C., though the GLP-1 page LivBody advertises says the program is not available in all 50

Cons

−The GLP-1 page LivBody advertises tells you three times to 'Start Now at start.livbody.com' and that address does not load at all, so the only working way into the program is the 'GLP-1 Journey' link in the site's own top menu (checked 2026-09-03)
−The telehealth terms say in capitals that fees are not refundable in whole or in part, except as set out in any return or refund policy provided to you, and the only refund policy LivBody publishes is the store one: 14 days, unused product with tags attached, a $3 restocking fee and a Houston returns address, which describes no refund path for medication (verified 2026-09-03)
−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
−The four testimonials on the program page carry no name, no date and no verification, and they sit under a claim of 'Join 127k+ members who have started with Liv Body' that nothing on the site substantiates (checked 2026-09-03)
−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 lab partner and no video visit path are shown on the site's program, about, terms, privacy or contact pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), though the privacy notice does name the medical corporations behind the program: LivBody HoldCo LLC Healthcare Partners PC, Rezilient OLH, PA and LivBody HoldCo LLC Healthcare Partners California, PC
−Two compounded injectables only, with no oral or sublingual option, no microdose tier and no brand name product page. LegitScript is not shown on the site's program, about, terms, privacy or contact pages either, so there is no certification and no checker to follow (rendered check 2026-09-03)

MEDGm

Pros

+Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
+Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
+Names its four partner pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, which most compounded programs never do
+Names OpenLoop Health as the medical group behind the prescribing, and includes shipping at every tier

Cons

−MEDGm answers the price question two ways. Its FAQ calls $179 an all-inclusive price covering your first month of medication, while the Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic cards on the same page read $99 or $171 membership plus a medication cost the site never publishes.
−Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are advertised as three price cards and nothing else: no product page, no total, and a trademark notice in the terms saying MEDGm is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any brand-name manufacturer.
−The GLP-1 page says purchases are eligible for HSA and FSA payments, while the terms say the company is cash-pay only and does not guarantee that any amount paid is eligible for reimbursement by insurance, HSA, FSA or any other benefit account.
−No lab panel is included or priced at any tier, though the terms and the telehealth consent both allow a provider to require labs or an at-home diagnostic test before enrollment is finalized.
−The homepage claims 120,000+ patients and the GLP-1 page badges +20k verified reviews, on a domain registered in April 2026. The footer also states that images representing testimonials may use models or artificial intelligence.
−A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
−The footer shows a LegitScript Certified seal, and the LegitScript registry returned no certification result for medgm.org when checked 2026-09-03. No third-party rating we could locate and verify exists either.
