HealthMedsJournal exists because shopping for online weight loss treatment is deliberately confusing. The same compounded semaglutide can cost $89 a month at one telehealth program and $349 at another. Advertised prices hide membership fees, promo periods, and dose-based increases. And the marketing is loud enough that the fine print rarely gets read until the second credit card charge arrives.
We do the tedious part: reading the pricing pages, the refund policies, the pharmacy disclosures, and the complaint records — then laying them side by side so you can compare programs in minutes instead of evenings.
What we cover
Our comparisons rank online GLP-1 providers on price, transparency, and service. Our brand reviews go deep on individual programs. Our guides explain the medicine itself — dosing, side effects, costs, insurance — with citations to FDA, NIH, and major clinic sources.
Who is behind the site
Our content is authored by Suzan Trabulsi, a registered clinical dietitian with a master's degree in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Nottingham and more than five years of clinical experience in weight management, diabetes care, and women's health. Her author page describes her background and how her name is used on this site.
How the site is funded
Affiliate commissions. When readers sign up with certain providers through our links, those providers pay us. We disclose this at the top of every page where it applies, and our advertising disclosure explains exactly what commissions do and do not influence. Our ranking methodology and editorial policy are public.
What we stand for
- Real prices, stated plainly. Including the ones that rise at month four.
- Accurate language about compounded drugs. They are not FDA-approved, and we never say otherwise.
- No results promises. Averages from clinical trials, cited, are as far as we go.
- Disclosure before persuasion. Every monetized page says so at the top.
