About Basal Health
Basal Health is a national GLP-1 telehealth platform built around a metabolic-medicine framework, positioning GLP-1 therapy as one piece of a five-marker picture — insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, hormonal response, VO2 max, and body fat — with clinician-supervised, adaptive dosing rather than a fixed protocol. Coverage spans all 50 states plus DC. Specific GLP-1 molecules, the pharmacy partner, and pricing aren't disclosed publicly.

Vytora Health is a 50-state-plus-DC telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside brand-name Mounjaro and Zepbound, plus NAD+ and sermorelin peptides. It names its pharmacy partners publicly — Vials Pharmacy and Greenwich Biosciences — and discloses its operating physician group, uncommon transparency for the category. Compounded semaglutide runs $180/mo ($150 on a 3-month bundle) and tirzepatide $249/mo ($200 bundled).
