About Hims
Hims is a major men's telehealth brand. Its weight loss offering is compounded semaglutide on a 6-month plan.
Read our full Hims review →About Loop Health
Membership is the product, not the drug. $79/month is the entry, or $1,500/year, which carries a $180/month research credit toward compounds; the pharmacy bills for each medication on its own. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide sit inside the Loop Lean program, with peptides, NAD+, sermorelin, coaching and bloodwork around them. This US platform introduces members to independent licensed providers instead of writing prescriptions itself.

Hims
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
