Visit LifeMDThe verdict
Form Health edges out LifeMD on the Editors' Rating, 81 to 80 (B− vs B−). 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.
LifeMD is still a genuine option — a nationwide, physician-led program that has shifted from compounded to brand-name medication now that the FDA shortage exemption has ended — a disclosed $149/mo membership plus a separately billed drug cost, honest about the shift even where the number is bigger than it used to look. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

Form Health
Ranked #4 · 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
LifeMD
Ranked #8 · Grade B−
What we like
- Discloses starting cash prices for both the membership and each medication, so the two line items are separately checkable
- Nationwide, physician-led care, so treatment survives a move
- Transparent about the industry-wide shift away from compounded GLP-1s and toward FDA-approved brand product
The caveats
- The $149/mo figure is the membership fee, not the medication — the real monthly is membership plus a separately billed drug starting around $199–$349
- Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide is being phased out here as the FDA shortage exemption has ended, so the cheaper compounded-era pricing no longer applies
- Large-platform support is competent but rarely personal
