Visit Form HealthThe verdict
Form Health edges out Calibrate on the Editors' Rating, 81 to 79 (B− vs C). Mothers who want physician-led, dietitian-supported treatment with real clinical oversight and are comfortable with monthly video visits and a medication cost billed on top of the membership.
Calibrate is still a genuine option — a year-long metabolic program that treats the medication as one lever and intensive human coaching as the other — a disclosed $199/mo membership with a 3-month minimum, a real 20-minute video visit, and insurance doing most of the work on the medication itself. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

Calibrate
Editors' Rating 79/100 · Grade C
What we like
- A disclosed $199/mo membership price with a clear 3-month minimum — no guessing what the commitment costs
- Intensive one-to-one video coaching built around the medication, not bolted on
- Full-service insurance navigation, with medication typically landing near $25/mo after coverage
The caveats
- A required 3-month minimum commitment ($597) before you can cancel penalty-free
- The clinician visit is a scheduled 20-minute video call, not an async intake
- Brand-name only — no compounded option if insurance doesn't cooperate
Form Health
Editors' Rating 81/100 · Grade B−
What we like
- A board-certified physician and a registered dietitian on every case — real oversight, not an intake form
- Built to bill insurance and prescribe brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound where it's covered
- A disclosed self-pay membership price ($299/mo) for mothers without qualifying coverage
The caveats
- Monthly video visits are part of the program — not an async-only intake
- The $299 self-pay membership is the care-team fee only; medication and labs are billed separately
- No posted copay or deductible ranges for the insurance path — your real total depends on your plan
