Contour Health review

What it is

Contour Health is a Utah telehealth practice operating as Desert Contour LLC dba Contour Health, based at a published street address in St. George. Its wellness programs include sermorelin under a "Performance" banner and NAD⁺ under a "Longevity" banner, alongside its main business of pay-per-vial compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. It is a HIPAA covered entity with a full patient-rights section published, it accepts HSA and FSA payments with itemized receipts and a Letter of Medical Necessity on request, and it displays a LegitScript badge that links to a genuine LegitScript verification checker for its domain.

How it works

Provider-reviewed telehealth with free consultations — the practice states plainly that it does not charge for consultations with its medical providers, which removes the usual barrier to asking what something costs before you buy it. The care team is named rather than anonymous: Dr. Laarni Gonzales-Naval, a board-certified family medicine physician, is the medical director, with co-founder Melissa Musso, MSN FNP-C overseeing clinical operations and three further named nurse practitioners with published credentials. Its pharmacy partner is named too, as Strive Pharmacy, a 503A facility with six listed dispensing locations — that combination of a named pharmacy and named clinicians is rare enough on this board to be the main reason to look here. Two caveats. The site does not state whether the initial consult is live video or asynchronous, so ask. And no state list is published anywhere; the Terms say only that services may be available in certain states depending on licensing.

Pricing transparency

No sermorelin price is published, and no NAD⁺ price either, so we are not quoting one for this board. What Contour does publish is its GLP-1 structure, and it is unusual enough to be worth understanding: medication is sold by the vial rather than as a flat subscription, with a $250 starting package for semaglutide or $500 for tirzepatide covering the medical assessment, plan and eight to ten weeks of medication and supplies, and site-published average ongoing costs of $160 and $300 a month at typical doses. Those are weight-loss figures. The nuance to carry into any peptide conversation is that the Terms of Service separately describe an optional subscription tier requiring a minimum of three consecutive months with 30 days' notice to cancel, which coexists with marketing that emphasises no long-term commitment. All product purchases are non-refundable per those same Terms. So: ask what the sermorelin or NAD⁺ protocol costs monthly, whether you are being placed on the pay-per-vial or the subscription track, and what the exit terms are — the free consultation is the right place to ask all three.

Branded vs compounded

Compounded; not FDA-approved. Prescription required only if a licensed provider finds it appropriate. Contour names its partner pharmacy as Strive Pharmacy and describes partnerships with 503A accredited compounding pharmacies, which is a real transparency signal — compounded sterile products are not FDA-reviewed for purity and potency the way approved drugs are, so knowing who compounds yours is not a trivia question. On the evidence, the two wellness programs are not equivalent and should not be read as one longevity offer. Sermorelin acts on the growth-hormone axis, which is a genuine, well-described mechanism, but the long-term human outcome data stays thin and no controlled trial demonstrates the body-composition or recovery results the category is marketed on. NAD⁺ delivered by injection has no controlled human outcome trials at all; the one human intravenous study was a pharmacokinetic pilot showing infused NAD⁺ clears from plasma quickly, and the NAD⁺ forms with human data are the oral precursors NR and NMN, which raise blood NAD⁺ rather than a demonstrated clinical outcome. On the GLP-1 side, everything is compounded injectable — no oral formulation and no brand-name option — and the practice accepts no insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Individual results vary.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what Contour Health prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• Sermorelin: a real GHRH drug, read against the anti-aging pitch

  An approved growth-hormone-releasing analog with a pediatric track record — and a longevity case built more on biomarkers than outcomes.

• NAD+ precursors (NR and NMN): what the human trials actually show

  They raise NAD+ and look safe short-term — but human evidence is surrogate-marker level, and no trial shows they extend healthspan.
