The short answer
These are different products, not different prices for the same one. Strut Health dispenses compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide async and cash-pay; LifeMD prescribes branded medication over video and bills insurance, wrapping it in a primary-care membership — Wegovy from $149/mo plus a separate $149/mo program fee. Strut Health carries FDA warning letter 721448. Compounded products are not FDA-approved.
