Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.

Shoppers willing to complete a prequalification quiz before seeing any GLP-1 price.
Visit Bodyshop WellnessThe verdict
Ways2Well takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 41 to 39. Ways2Well is a concierge functional-medicine membership (founded by Brigham Buhler) built around biannual biomarker panels and personalized protocols that CAN include semaglutide/tirzepatide, peptides. Bodyshop Wellness still earns a C — Shoppers willing to complete a prequalification quiz before seeing any GLP-1 price.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Ways2Well.

Ways2Well
41/100Where the value is
- Backed by a known founder (Brigham Buhler) with an established functional-medicine brand
- Offers a broader diagnostic workup (100+ biomarkers, biannual panels) than typical single-purpose GLP-1 telehealth sites
- Confirms semaglutide/tirzepatide can be included in a custom protocol via a dedicated /semaglutide page
The tradeoffs
- No published GLP-1 pricing anywhere on the public site -- fully gated behind consultation/membership
- No published membership price either
Bodyshop Wellness
39/100Where the value is
- Operates three physical pharmacy/clinic locations across three states (FL, UT, TX) rather than being purely virtual
- Displays a LegitScript verification badge
- Publishes transparent, itemized lab-panel pricing ($85-$425) even though GLP-1 drug pricing itself is hidden
The tradeoffs
- No semaglutide or tirzepatide price is published anywhere short of completing a multi-step prequalification form
- No medical director is named on any page reached
