Read our full Henry Meds review →About Lighter You
Plans open at $169 a month, and a $99 entry offer, described as limited-time, folds in shipping and the first consultation at no charge. Beyond the clinician-guided GLP-1 treatment, the membership buys care coaching, dietician visits, and a dashboard tracking recipes, workouts and weight trends. The pharmacy that fills prescriptions is never named. OpenLoop Health owns the telehealth consent and clinical side; Lighter You, LLC holds the brand, which also sells microdosing protocols, peptides, and programs for men's and women's health.

Henry Meds
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Henry Meds
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
Lighter You
