Zealthy review
Insurance help or bundle
A telehealth company that helps insured members get brand-name GLP-1s covered, with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on the side. The medication-included bundle is $297/mo after a $217 first month.
Our verdict
Zealthy is built around insurance. Its $135-a-month weight membership pays for clinician care, a coach and a coordination team that files prior authorizations, up to three attempts, to get brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic or Mounjaro covered, which can bring the drug down to a copay. If you'd rather not wait or don't have coverage, it sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, either on top of the membership or as an all-in bundle: $217 for the first month of compounded semaglutide and $297 a month after, or $349 and then $449 for tirzepatide. The firm rules are strict: medication sales are final, membership fees are not refunded, and Medicare and Medicaid members can't join. Zealthy received an FDA warning letter in September 2025, and its parent company has received letters about two of its other brands.

Check yourEra availability →What it is
Zealthy is the brand of FitRX, LLC, a New York company based at 30 Irving Place in Manhattan. Besides weight loss it offers primary care, mental health, birth control, hair loss, skin care, sleep and erectile dysfunction treatment. Medical care is provided by affiliated medical groups named in its terms, including Bruno Health, P.A. and Outlast Health; Zealthy provides the management and administrative services. Its clinicians are described as U.S.-licensed, board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners. Compounded medication is prepared by a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy that the site doesn't name. A LegitScript seal image appears in its footer, but it doesn't load, so check LegitScript's own website before relying on it. The weight program isn't available to people using government insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid, and the site doesn't list the states it serves.
How it works
You answer an online intake about your health, weight history and preferences, and a Zealthy provider reviews it, typically within one to two business days. The program is fully online. After that, you get unlimited secure messaging with your provider, monthly video or phone visits for check-ins, a dedicated coach, and messaging with a care coordinator in the Zealthy portal or app. If a brand-name drug is prescribed, the coordination team gathers the paperwork and submits a prior authorization to your insurer; decisions usually come back in two to 14 business days, and Zealthy will resubmit up to three times after a denial. Many members start on compounded medication while that plays out. To keep an approved prior authorization active, you need to stay a member. Compounded medication ships from a partner pharmacy after approval, usually arriving five to nine business days after the prescription is sent. Memberships can't be paused, but you can delay a shipment from the portal.
Pricing transparency
There are two ways to pay. The membership is $135 a month (the first month is discounted), billed on the same date each month. It covers clinician care, coaching and insurance coordination but not medication. With insurance, Zealthy says some members pay as little as a $25 copay for a covered brand-name drug. Without it, compounded semaglutide is sold from $151 a month and tirzepatide from $216 a month, with shipping included, when you buy a three-month supply at a 20% discount; the one-month price isn't published. The bundle is the simpler route: the Semaglutide Bundle is $217 for the first month and $297 a month after, and the Tirzepatide Bundle is $349 and then $449, with care and medication included. Zealthy notes that extra fees may apply if your provider prescribes doses above the standard titration schedule. If you're found ineligible for compounded medication, you get a refund. Otherwise, all medication sales are final once the pharmacy fills the order, and consultation and membership fees are non-refundable. You can cancel any time in the portal, under Manage membership, before the next renewal; access continues to the end of the paid month. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, although the membership fee itself usually isn't a covered expense.
Branded vs compounded
Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro, generally through insurance, and compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by weekly injection. Wegovy and Zepbound are FDA-approved for weight management; Ozempic and Mounjaro are approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed off-label for weight. Zealthy's own disclosure notes that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved. That matters for the evidence: the 15% to 20% average weight loss figures on Zealthy's pages come from trials of the branded drugs, not compounded versions. In September 2025 the FDA sent Zealthy a warning letter about its website's claims for compounded semaglutide, including wording that presented it as the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic, which the agency said implied the compounded product was the same as an approved drug. Zealthy's weight pages describe its compounded semaglutide in similar terms. The same parent company, FitRX, LLC, received further letters in February 2026 for its FitRx brand and in June 2026 for its AM RX brand. The September 2025 letter is disclosed and linked on this page.
FDA warning letter on record
The FDA issued a warning letter naming FitRX, LLC dba Zealthy, the company behind Zealthy.
- Letter 716501, issued September 9, 2025 — read it on fda.gov
We publish this because it is a matter of public record and a reader weighing this provider should have it. A warning letter is the FDA setting out alleged violations; it is not a court finding, and a company may have responded or corrected since. It does not remove Zealthy from this site, and it does not change our verdict — read the letter and decide for yourself.

The evidence behind what Zealthy prescribes
We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.
- What the semaglutide weight-loss trials actually showed
STEP 1, STEP 4, and SELECT — the efficacy, the rebound, and the cardiovascular signal, read straight from the primary literature.
- Zepbound vs Wegovy: what the trials actually show
Zepbound (tirzepatide) leads on weight loss in the one head-to-head trial; Wegovy (semaglutide) has the cardiovascular-outcomes approval. An honest comparison.
- Compounded vs branded GLP-1: regulatory status, sourcing and the evidence
Compounded GLP-1 isn't FDA-approved, the shortage exception behind it ended in 2025, the FDA moved against mass-marketed copies in 2026, and the trial data belong to the branded product. Here's the precise picture.

Frequently asked
- How much does Zealthy weight loss cost?
- Either a $135-a-month membership plus medication, or a medication-included bundle. The bundle is $217 for the first month of compounded semaglutide and $297 a month after, or $349 and then $449 for compounded tirzepatide. On the membership, compounded semaglutide starts at $151 a month and tirzepatide at $216 when bought as a three-month supply.
- Does Zealthy take insurance?
- Zealthy works with insurers to cover brand-name GLP-1s: its team submits prior authorizations and will try up to three times after a denial. It says some members pay as little as $25 a month in copays. The membership fee itself generally isn't covered, and Medicare and Medicaid members can't use the program.
- Can I get a refund from Zealthy?
- Only in narrow cases. You get a refund if you're found ineligible for compounded medication. Otherwise medication sales are final once filled, and membership and consultation fees are non-refundable. You can cancel any time before your next renewal.
- Has Zealthy received an FDA warning letter?
- Yes. In September 2025 the FDA warned FitRX, LLC, doing business as Zealthy, about claims on its website for compounded semaglutide. The same company received letters in 2026 about its FitRx and AM RX brands. The Zealthy letter is linked on this page.
- Can I pause my Zealthy membership?
- No. Memberships can't be paused, but you can delay a medication shipment from the portal. Canceling ends your prior authorizations, refills and provider monitoring.
- Is Zealthy legit?
- FDA has a warning letter on record against FitRX, LLC dba Zealthy, the company behind Zealthy, issued September 9, 2025 as letter 716501; it is linked further down this page. A warning letter is a public record worth reading. It doesn't by itself mean you can't use this provider. Zealthy is a GLP-1 telehealth service you reach through an online intake a clinician reviews and a video visit with a clinician. The medications it names are Compounded semaglutide, Compounded tirzepatide and branded medication. Its stated availability: Not listed. What it publishes up front: Medication-included bundle from $297/mo (semaglutide; $217 first month). Or $135/mo membership plus medication, with insurance help for brand-name drugs. It states it works with insurance. Those are the provider's own published claims rather than checks we could run ourselves, so get the ones that matter to you confirmed in writing before you pay.
- Is Zealthy expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth providers?
- Zealthy publishes a starting figure of $297/mo. Across the 57 GLP-1 telehealth providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $299 with a median of $179, which puts Zealthy above the median. The other 49 GLP-1 telehealth providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
