Medical Health Institute

Shoppers comparing across TRT, peptides, and weight loss under one provider who don't need public pricing detail up front.

Reasons to consider it

  • Advertises a competitively low $100/mo entry price for GLP-1 weight loss
  • Offers multiple service lines (weight loss, TRT, peptide therapy) under one provider
  • LegitScript and HIPAA-compliance badges both displayed on the homepage

What to weigh up

  • The $100/mo headline price carries the company's own asterisk — '*Based on pharmacy availability' — meaning it is explicitly not a guaranteed rate before intake
  • No dose tier or even which drug (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide) the $100 figure applies to is disclosed anywhere public
  • Claims 'Transparent pricing' and 'no surprise fees' while publishing no actual itemized price breakdown beyond the asterisked floor

California Trim Clinic

Shoppers who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide paid order by order, with no membership or auto-renewal, and don't mind a discovery call first.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes starting prices: compounded semaglutide from $199 a month and tirzepatide from $299
  • No membership fee and no automatic renewal, so you're charged only when you order
  • Serves all 50 states by telemedicine, with a physical clinic in Westlake Village, California

What to weigh up

  • The prices are 'starting at' figures, and the clinic doesn't publish what you'll pay as your dose rises
  • Doesn't name the providers or a medical director for its adult program, or the pharmacy that fills your prescription
  • A discovery call is required before you can order medication
