Bodi Envi
67/100Where the value is
- Real, named founders (Ashley and Shaun Padgett) with a verifiable brick-and-mortar practice (Padgett Medical Center, Florida) and a large public review history
- Flat, transparent per-drug pricing with no doses-based escalation shown on the pricing cards
- No consultation or membership fee visible on the pricing page
The tradeoffs
- A prior automated pull of this site reported different (lower, promo-flavored) prices than what the page visually shows today — pricing pages on this domain appear to change, so re-verify at time of use
- States served are not explicitly listed on the pages read this session
HeliMeds
67/100Where the value is
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available, plus a brand Wegovy/Zepbound path on the same platform
- The heavily-discounted 12-week prepay plan is genuinely the cheapest entry point in this comparison set if a buyer can pay $297 or $447 upfront
- Wide state coverage — every US state except California and Alaska, per the site's own terms of service
The tradeoffs
- '$99/mo' and '$149/mo' are not subscription rates — they are a single upfront 12-week charge ($297/$447) divided by three, and the site explicitly says no recurring billing occurs
- Semaglutide reorders after the intro plan cost $239 for just a 4-week supply — nearly 2.5x the advertised headline rate
