Hims & Hers launched GLP-1 prescriptions in May 2024 at $199 per month and built $225 million in revenue from that business in a single calendar year — on a legal window that closed in October 2024 when the FDA removed semaglutide from its shortage list. The compounding business that powered that growth attracted two […]

Ro GLP-1 Telehealth Review: Inside Roman / Rory's Weight-Loss Program When Roman started prescribing erectile dysfunction medication online in 2017, it looked like a single-category bet. Seven years later, the company behind Roman, Rory, and the Zero smoking cessation brand has quietly become one of the largest GLP-1 telehealth platforms in the country, writing prescriptions

Found is one of the larger GLP-1 telehealth platforms in the U.S., and it markets itself on breadth: more than ten medications, insurance partnerships across most states, and behavioral coaching woven into the subscription. On paper that sounds thorough. In practice the experience depends heavily on whether your insurance cooperates, which drug your clinician selects,

The list price on a GLP-1 prescription can hit your inbox before the ink is dry on your diagnosis, and the number is startling: somewhere between $900 and $1,400 per month at the pharmacy counter, depending on the drug and the dose. What that sticker price has to do with what you will actually pay

Self-injecting a GLP-1 medication for the first time can feel strangely high-stakes — and in some ways it is, because the pen in your hand delivers a precise dose of an FDA-approved prescription drug, not a supplement. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are each independently reviewed and approved by the FDA under separate New Drug

Confusing one

If you spent several hundred dollars on a GLP-1 pen and left it on your car dashboard in July, there is a reasonable chance it is no longer working as intended. That is not a minor inconvenience — that is several hundred dollars of peptide chemistry that has been irreversibly denatured, with no visible sign

If you search "peptides for low testosterone," you will find a dense market of injectable compounds, grey-market clinics, and podcast segments that blur several distinct categories of medicine together in ways that are, charitably, confusing — and, less charitably, misleading. The two most important facts are not buried in fine print: testosterone is a steroid

If you have a thyroid condition and a doctor is discussing GLP-1 medications with you, two completely different conversations can happen, and which one you need depends on what kind of thyroid condition you have. If your thyroid diagnosis is Hashimoto's thyroiditis or garden-variety hypothyroidism, you are not looking at a contraindication — you are

There is a version of the PCOS conversation that has not aged well. A decade ago, most endocrinologists handed patients a metformin prescription and told them to lose weight. That advice was not wrong, exactly, but it skipped over how hard weight loss is when insulin resistance is working against you and how many patients
