G-Plans
42/100Where the value is
- LegitScript badge displayed
- Confirmed access to both branded (Ozempic) and compounded GLP-1 medications
- Distinctive nutrition-first / metabolic-genotype assessment angle vs. pure drug-dispensing competitors
The tradeoffs
- Zero pricing visible anywhere without completing the full intake quiz
- No named medical director or compounding pharmacy partner
TeleZen MD
42/100Where the value is
- Four named, checkable prescribers listed by name and credential (Dr. James Teet DO, Dr. Ozita Cooper MD, Dr. Michael Wasef MD, Dr. Andrew Sakla DO) — better prescriber transparency than most peers in this batch
- Confirmed legal entity via Terms of Use: Telezen MD, LLC, a Florida limited liability company
- LegitScript certified per the FAQ
The tradeoffs
- No price for semaglutide or tirzepatide is published anywhere on the public site — every pricing page checked (/pricing, /treatments, /weight-loss, /how-it-works, /get-started) either 404'd or showed no dollar figure
- The 'all 50 states' claim is the company's own FAQ statement; the only state-specific text found anywhere on the site (in the Terms of Use) names just four states (FL, CA, TX, KS), so the 50-state claim is not independently confirmed by a published list
