About Calibrate Health
The program fee is $199/month and it buys no medication; the drug is billed apart and, with insurance plus a savings card, can fall to roughly $25/month. Calibrate runs a full year as a metabolic reset, pairing a branded GLP-1 drug, Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Foundayo, with video coaching one-to-one and dietitian support. That is a heavier clinical wrap than transactional telehealth offers. Only branded drugs are used, and outcomes carry a money-back guarantee.
Read our full Calibrate Health review →About TrimRx
Three things TrimRx does not publish: the pharmacy that compounds its drugs, the states it serves, and any LegitScript certification. Specifics sit behind an intake quiz. What is visible is a cash-pay program with tiered monthly pricing plus multi-month bundles, no insurance, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide shipped monthly at no shipping cost. Licensed US providers prescribe after reviewing an online medical history. The pitch is dose continuity and stable pricing: "switch and keep your current dose, no price hikes". Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved.

Calibrate Health
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes clinician visits and coaching
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Calibrate Health
- 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: medication
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license

- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping

Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 62% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $399 a month, 60% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- 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
