The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

1st Optimal

Patients who want a named founding physician and a broader functional-medicine/hormone workup alongside GLP-1s.

Reasons to consider it

  • Named founder and clinical lead: Dr. Amber Miller, a functional medicine physician
  • LegitScript verification badge displayed
  • No credit card required to start the intake quiz

What to weigh up

  • The membership is not the medication price; request a dose-specific drug quote and any lab charges
  • The public plan page now starts with a $39 Optimal Health membership rather than a separate published $99 Weight Loss Care plan
  • The dispensing pharmacy and treatment-specific state list are not published

Glam Health

Shoppers price-shopping the headline figure who will independently verify licensing and coverage before enrolling.

Reasons to consider it

  • Both molecules disclosed at low headline prices — $149 semaglutide, $175 tirzepatide — plus an NAD+ line from $110
  • Both GLP-1 products include B12 per the site's own product copy

What to weigh up

  • No LegitScript certification or any other third-party verification
  • No named medical director, prescriber, or compounding pharmacy disclosed
  • No state-coverage list published, so you won't know if you're eligible until you start intake
