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.
Read our full Lighter You 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.
