Optimized Health

Shoppers who want a simple, all-inclusive starting price with no separate visit or membership fee, in one of five served states.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes compounded GLP-1 starting prices including medication, monitoring and provider care
  • Offers branded Wegovy or Zepbound prescribing, with medication billed separately by the pharmacy
  • Names Mathew Hammons, PA-C as lead prescriber

What to weigh up

  • Telehealth is limited to Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Utah and Washington
  • Higher-dose compounded prices are not published; confirm your protocol-specific bill
  • Labs and retesting are billed separately when ordered

NativeMed

Shoppers who want one price at every dose, month to month or cheaper on a 3-month plan paid up front, without a separate membership fee.

Reasons to consider it

  • Flat 'same price any dose' pricing removes the dose-tier price-creep common at other compounded GLP-1 sites
  • No stated membership/platform fee stacked on top of the medication price
  • Free 48-hour shipping advertised on the homepage

What to weigh up

  • The 'from $149' and 'from $183' headlines are the 3-month plan, paid up front at $447 or $549; the monthly plan costs $179 or $259
  • The first consultation is free, but a $25 fee may apply if you don't move forward on the call, and missing it or canceling within 2 hours also costs $25
  • No published list of which U.S. states NativeMed actually serves — a buyer can't confirm eligibility before starting the intake

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