About 1st Optimal
Neither a monthly price nor a list of states is published. 1st Optimal operates out of Michigan across telehealth and functional medicine, writing the GLP-1s semaglutide and tirzepatide either as a weekly injection or as a daily oral tablet. Around the prescription it stacks at-home lab testing, interpretation of the blood work, coaching without limit and protocols built individually, all framed as long-term weight loss and longevity. Credentialed providers work virtually, treatment goes to the home, and nothing binds you to a long contract.

DadVantage Men's Health publishes no specific GLP-1 prices, names no pharmacy partner, and gives no medication brand details on its site. The nurse-practitioner-led Florida concierge men's clinic lists GLP-1 weight management among its programs, alongside testosterone and hormone optimization, peptide therapy, sexual health and PRP. Care runs mainly over secure telehealth video anywhere in Florida, with in-home visits around the Sarasota and Bradenton Gulf Coast. It is cash-pay only, does not accept insurance, and targets dads, professionals and athletes.

1st Optimal
What we like
- The monthly figure covers consult, shipping, coaching
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
- Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription
Watch-outs
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
