The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Ways2Well

Patients who want a biomarker-driven care plan first and are willing to ask what any weight-loss medication would cost on top.

Reasons to consider it

  • Published care-plan prices: a free Connect call, Clarity at $499 one time (bloodwork plus a 40-minute visit), Core at $125/mo or $1,499/yr
  • A broader diagnostic workup (100+ biomarkers) than a typical single-purpose GLP-1 site
  • Named clinical leadership: Chief Clinical Officer Danese Rexroad, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

What to weigh up

  • No GLP-1 drug or price is named; weight loss appears only as an unnamed peptide category
  • Medication is never included in a care plan and is billed on top, so ask for the drug, pharmacy and monthly cost first
  • No compounding pharmacy or LegitScript certification shown

MyStart Health

Shoppers who want a single flat all-inclusive monthly price and don't need semaglutide vs. tirzepatide broken out separately.

Reasons to consider it

  • Genuinely all-inclusive stated price: physician evaluations, unlimited follow-ups, bloodwork, and shipping are explicitly bundled into the $299 figure with 'no hidden fees'
  • Price-lock guarantee explicitly covers dose increases — the FAQ states the price won't rise 'even if your dosage increases'
  • Named Chief Medical Advisor (Dr. Ritu Chopra, Beverly Hills MD)

What to weigh up

  • Does not publish separate pricing for semaglutide vs. tirzepatide — $299 is a single blended program price, so it's unclear which drug (or whether both) that figure actually buys
  • A sitewide 'Lifetime 25% Off' promo banner is not reconciled against the stated '$299/month excluding any discounts' base price or the price-lock guarantee's 'excluding our first-time discount' exception — genuinely ambiguous what a patient ends up paying long-term
  • No compounding pharmacy named, only generic 'US facilities that meet strict USP standards'

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Matthew Stern, CEO MyStart Health LLC. in September 2025. We still list and link to MyStart Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
