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 Ravia Health
$49/month buys the membership, which covers medication management on an ongoing basis. What the GLP-1 itself costs, and whether it is brand or compounded, is never disclosed. Dr. Raashida Portier (DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC) founded this Florida integrative psychiatry practice, which puts tirzepatide and semaglutide beside its metabolic and mental health work. A partnership with Lyv Health delivers the weight-loss side. Note the mismatch: psychiatric services at the core are Florida-only, while the weight-loss page claims the whole country.

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
Ravia Health
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, lab work and coaching
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Ravia 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
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: shipping
- Serves only 1 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Our Verdict
Hims wins this one, 6.8 to 3.8, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC. Ravia Health fits better if bloodwork inside the monthly price rather than billed on top is your priority.
