About Rixa Health
Rixa Health bundles weight-loss medication and visits into one price and does not charge until after approval. The direct-to-consumer functional-medicine practice prescribes compounded and oral semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus other peptides, through partner US pharmacies. Board-certified DO and FNP providers take a root-cause approach and require monthly follow-ups for the first six months. It is cash-pay only and available in nearly all states, with a few listed as coming soon. Compounded, not branded, GLP-1 is the focus.
Read our full Rixa Health review →About The Edit
Every treatment page carries its price in the open, and beginning requires no card on file. Austin is home to The Edit Health LLC, a management services organization under Texas law, selling GHK-Cu, glutathione, sermorelin and NAD+ protocols beside compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide for weight loss. An independent practice affiliated with it, Arora Health & Aesthetics, does the prescribing; a named partner in Miami, The Pharmacy Hub, does the dispensing. Spanish and English both run on the site.

Rixa Health
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Rixa 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
- 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
The Edit
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $209 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare

- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states
- Names The Pharmacy Hub as the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to The Edit
Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $309 a month, 24% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- 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
