Pricing
Balanced Hormone Health
⛔ PRICED BY TOTAL MILLIGRAMS, NOT BY TIME — 'BHH does not sell by the duration of time'. Starter is '60 mg Total Medication, ~12 Week Supply, STARTING AT $499'; refills run $540 at 75 mg and $849 at 120 mg.
'GLP-1 Plus — Starting at $197 for ~10 weeks'. The tilde is the seller's: how long a package lasts depends on the dose you titrate to, not on a billing cycle.

About Balanced Hormone Health
Balanced Hormone Health is a private-pay telehealth practice rooted in HRT/BHRT that also offers compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss plans, prescribing compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (often with B vitamins) through partner pharmacies such as Revive and Striker. It also lists a branded Zepbound option. Medications ship to patients, typically made in about a week. Cash-pay only with no insurance billing, though receipts are provided for HSA/HRA accounts. Coverage spans most states; some are excluded depending on the compounding pharmacy used.
