About Beluga Health
Beluga Health is a nationwide white-label telehealth medical group led by Dr. Jonah Mink that powers other companies' direct-to-consumer health brands rather than selling to consumers itself. It provides licensed-provider care and supports GLP-1 weight-loss offerings, with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide titrated by clinicians and dispensed through independent pharmacies such as CareGLP and Belmar. As a B2B infrastructure provider it has no public consumer price, and it has been cited among nationwide groups linked to FDA telehealth GLP-1 marketing scrutiny.
