Joi + Blokes

Patients already on Joi or Blokes hormone programs who want GLP-1 added under the same clinician relationship, and are comfortable with a 3-month billing commitment.

Reasons to consider it

Named Medical Director, Dr. Melissa Loseke, DO, plus a named Head Nurse Practitioner and two named Medical Advisors, more clinical names than most programs we track
Separate gender-specific programs (Joi for women, Blokes for men) built around hormone health, with GLP-1 added as an integrated option alongside testosterone/perimenopause protocols
For FDA-approved GLP-1/GIP medications specifically, insurance is accepted and the prescription routes to the patient's own local pharmacy rather than a mail-order compounder

What to weigh up

Billed in 3-month blocks, not month-to-month — the $99/$149 first-month price is promotional, and the standing cost from month 2 is $179 (semaglutide) or $249 (tirzepatide)
New York and New Jersey residents are explicitly called out as paying different pricing, but the site does not state the amount
No full state-availability list is published — the safety page only says 'available in certain locations'

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Joi and Blokes dba Joi + Blokes in June 2026. We still list and link to Joi + Blokes; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

FormidableMD

Patients in its four covered states who want physician-led care and will confirm how long each prescription lasts before comparing costs.

Reasons to consider it

Publishes an actual dose-by-dose price table for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, rather than a single 'starting at' figure
Boutique physician-led practice with real brick-and-mortar roots, bundling labs, HRT/TRT and urgent care
FSA/HSA eligible for consultations and services

What to weigh up

The drug prices are per prescription, without a published supply length, so a reliable monthly medication cost is not available
Visits cost extra: $199 initially and $99 for follow-ups
No compounding pharmacy is named
