Potere Health MD

Cost-first shoppers who want low-cost, physician-led GLP-1 weight loss without a subscription.

Reasons to consider it

  • Low starting pricing (about $80-$135/month) with no subscription lock-in
  • Physician-led by a named MD, not automated messaging
  • Third-party COA and LegitScript-certified pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • Available in Utah only — a St George clinic offering telehealth within the state, not a national service
  • The per-vial price is fixed, so the monthly cost rises steeply with the dose: the provider's own table runs about $20/mo at 0.25 mg, $80/mo at 1.0 mg and about $199/mo at 2.5 mg
  • Medication is bought per vial up front rather than on a subscription, so there is no monthly rate to compare directly against a subscription program

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

ZipHealth

Shoppers seeking brand-name weight-loss medication who want published starting estimates and are comfortable confirming the final pharmacy price.

Reasons to consider it

What to weigh up

  • A $79 clinical service and support fee is charged per treatment on top of the medication estimate
  • Final medication prices are confirmed by the dispensing pharmacy and can differ from the estimate
  • Higher doses can cost more than the starting-dose headline
