About Aspire Health

Aspire Health is a Nebraska‑based telehealth practice that publishes dose‑by‑dose prices before any intake. Compounded semaglutide works out to about $103/month at 0.5 mg and $184 at the 2.4 mg maintenance dose; compounded tirzepatide is about $249/month at 5 mg. Brand Wegovy, brand Zepbound and oral Wegovy are priced separately. Medication is billed on top of a $49/month medical‑care fee, and the cost of lab work is not included. A named PA/NP team prescribes, and all three dispensing pharmacies are named publicly.

About Wholesome Clinic

Medication paid out of pocket opens at $109/month for compounded semaglutide, while a $149 first evaluation and $75 follow-ups are billed on their own. Seven states can reach the telehealth weight-loss service, run from an integrative-psychiatry and wellness practice in Frisco, Texas, where providers write weekly injectables or oral dissolving tablets of compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide, turning to Zepbound and Wegovy under brand names where clinically appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Aspire Health

What we like

  • Semaglutide costs $103 a month, 44% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
  • Tirzepatide costs $211 a month, 16% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare

  • The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and coaching
  • Names 3 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Aspire Health

Watch-outs

  • Not included in the monthly price: lab work
  • Serves only 29 states, so check that yours is one of them
  • Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes the medication
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Wholesome Clinic
  • 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

  • Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits
  • Serves only 7 states, so check that yours is one of them
  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
  • Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
