LivBody

#52 of 54
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).

Watch out forThe 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)
Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Strut does not publish formulation-specific pharmacokinetic or comparative outcome evidence for its oral tablets, so their absorption and weight-loss results versus approved injections are unknown.

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)

Strut Health

Pros

  • +Specializes in oral compounded semaglutide, the go-to for patients who absolutely won't do injections
  • +Needle-free oral semaglutide tablets from $99/mo, one of the lowest oral entry prices in the table, with oral tirzepatide ($199/mo) and auto-refill injectables at a flat $149/mo for either semaglutide or tirzepatide if you switch formats
  • +Clear educational content about oral semaglutide absorption and how to maximize effectiveness
  • +Simple enrollment: online questionnaire, async provider review, medication shipped to your door

Cons

  • Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Strut does not publish formulation-specific pharmacokinetic or comparative outcome evidence for its oral tablets, so their absorption and weight-loss results versus approved injections are unknown.
  • Compounded oral semaglutide is not FDA-approved as a finished product or established as bioequivalent to approved oral or injectable semaglutide; do not infer equivalent dosing or results

Our Verdict

Strut Health edges out LivBody with a score of 6.2/10 vs 2.9/10.
