Loop Health
65/100Where the value is
- Multi-product wellness platform — GLP-1 plus peptides, NAD+, coaching, bloodwork
- Low membership entry point ($79/mo)
- Annual plan includes monthly 'research credit' toward compounds
The tradeoffs
- The medication price is on top of a $1,500-a-year membership, annual-plan only, which the terms confirm is separate from compound and medication costs
- Everything sold here is microdosed — the banner over both products reads 'MICRODOSED GLP-1', which is not a labeled therapeutic dose
RestorLife Med
65/100Where the value is
- Named board-certified physician (Dr. Michael Wasef, MD) licensed in all 50 states
- Full GLP-1 lineup: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus gentler microdose entry options
- Generous support — unlimited care-team messaging, monthly check-ins, dosage adjustments, and 1 free blood test per quarter on the GLP-1 protocols
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $299 is a struck-through anchor price, not a starting point: the real month-to-month rate is $299, a first month runs $149 at 50% off, and the $199 rate needs six months
- The page states its pricing is 'introductory and subject to change', so none of these figures is committed to
