Provider review
MyStart Health review
The dose never changes the price — and the price you would pay is not printed.
A quarter dose costs the base rate, and MyStart says so in plain words. It publishes the pre-discount figure honestly. Then two promotions stack on top of it and the resulting number appears nowhere.

In one paragraph
The verdict
Take a quarter dose here and you pay the base rate — MyStart states it in the reader's own terms, and even carves out the one exception. That is the honest part, and so is publishing the standing figure before promotions rather than after, which is the reverse of how this category usually advertises. Give it credit too for admitting that a monthly charge may ship a four-week supply, and for refunding the appointment if you are found ineligible. Two things will cost you if you misread them. Two promotions stack on top of the published rate, one of them permanent, and the resulting monthly figure is never printed — so the number you would actually be charged is not on the site. And the three-month plan has no published price at all, which matters because a refill intake is compulsory every three months whichever plan you are on.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You expect to titrate upward and want the rate fixed before you start
- You want the pre-discount figure stated plainly rather than a promotional one
- You want a refund if the clinician turns you down, including the appointment fee
Look elsewhere if
- You are taking less to spend less — the smaller dose is billed at the same base rate
- You need to know exactly what you will be charged. The advertised promotions stack and the resulting figure is never printed
- You want tirzepatide, or a low-dose product priced on its own
- You want to cancel from an account rather than by email or phone
- You want the dispensing pharmacy named, or your state confirmed before you start
What it actually costs
Price as published
$299/month, stated as the pre-discount figure — "The MyStart program starts at $299/month, excluding any discounts" · one price at every dose: "The price of medication and ongoing care will never increase from your base plan amount, EVEN if your dosage increases in subsequent months (excluding our first-time discount)" · two promotions stack on top — "$150 Off + Lifetime 25% Off" — and the resulting monthly figure is never printed, so the rate most new patients would actually pay is not published · a three-month plan exists, auto-billed every three months with the whole supply shipped at once, and its price is not published · a monthly charge may ship a four-week supply, which the site discloses · semaglutide only
- Vs median
- $130/mo above the $169 median across the 242 of 373 programs we track that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Same price at every dose
One figure regardless of how much drug you take. Reassuring if you expect to titrate upward, and the least economical structure on this page if you do not: a quarter dose costs what a full one does.
88 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. One base figure covers every dose, and the company says so in the reader's own terms, exception included. Taking less does not lower it. The complication is at the other end: two stacking promotions mean the figure most new patients pay is not the one published anywhere.

What it does well
- Answers the dose question in the exact terms a reader would ask it, and names the one exception honestly — the price will not rise with the dose, "excluding our first-time discount"
- Publishes its standing rate net of promotions — "$299/month, excluding any discounts" — which is the opposite of the usual failure
- Discloses that a monthly charge may ship a four-week supply rather than a calendar month of medication
- Refunds a failed eligibility check in full, including the appointment: "If you have a video appointment and are deemed ineligible, the appointment will be free"
- Carries a LegitScript seal number (29662747)
- Guarantees the rate will not change after you join: "lock in today and we guarantee your price will never change"
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
MyStart Health does not publicly identify the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. No bloodwork is required before you start. A clinician review is included in the price.

How the program works
MyStart Health sells compounded semaglutide on a monthly or three-month plan, describing itself as "a technology platform that facilitates access to independent third-party healthcare providers and pharmacies" rather than as a clinic. It publishes its standing rate before promotions rather than after, guarantees the rate will not change once you join, and requires a refill intake form every three months whichever plan you are on. It displays a LegitScript seal number. It names no compounding pharmacy, publishes no state list, and sells no tirzepatide. Cancellation is by email or phone rather than from an account.
The honest cons
ONE PRICE AT EVERY DOSE. A patient deliberately holding a quarter dose pays the same base rate as one at the top of the range
- THE RATE MOST NEW PATIENTS WOULD PAY IS NOT PUBLISHED. Two promotions stack — "$150 Off + Lifetime 25% Off" — and the site never prints the resulting monthly figure, so $299 is the only number it commits to
- A monthly charge may ship a four-week supply, which drifts about thirteen days a year against the calendar
- The three-month plan's price is not published at all, and a refill intake is compulsory every three months regardless of plan
- A "Holiday Savings" banner runs in August, so the urgency is decorative
- Cancellation is by email with CANCEL in the subject line, or by phone — no in-account cancellation is described
- Semaglutide only; no tirzepatide is sold
- MyStart describes itself as a technology platform rather than the provider of care, and names neither the pharmacy nor the states it serves
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

How it compares
MyStart Health is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
