A health membership priced at $199 per year, built around 100+ biomarker lab tests taken twice a year rather than around selling GLP-1s. Members judged clinically appropriate can add prescription treatments, compounded semaglutide or brand-name Ozempic among them, through the in-house Marketplace, billed apart from the membership fee. Three fulfillment pharmacies are named: Strive Pharmacy, Belmar Pharmacy and Progress Pharmacy.
