October 2026

JRNYS is a telehealth weight-loss membership that prescribes brand-name GLP-1s through your insurance or compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, and the membership itself buys no medication.

Best for: Insured shoppers who want brand-name GLP-1s with coaching, or a compounded option, and can accept learning the medication price only after a consultation.

What JRNYS does well

  • Brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Saxenda) through your insurance, plus compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
  • The membership band ($89–$169/mo) is published before intake and is banded openly by level of coach support
  • Medical visits, daily monitoring and 1-on-1 coaching are included in the membership at every tier
  • Led by CMO Dr. Henry Legere (UC Berkeley, Columbia medicine, Harvard fellowship)
  • Members with commercial insurance may pay around $25 a month for the medication after any deductible

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The membership is overhead, not a medication price: medication is priced separately and confirmed only after a provider consultation
  • The only medication figure shown is a compounded tirzepatide microdose card 'from $216/m'; no standard semaglutide or tirzepatide price is published
  • The $89 first telehealth fee isn't refunded once a doctor reviews your profile, and canceling needs 7 days' notice before the next billing date
  • The best case depends on commercial insurance coverage
  • The states it can prescribe in are not published
