About Elara Health and Wellness
Elara Health and Wellness is a physician-guided weight-loss platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections across all 50 states plus DC. Its differentiator is a bundled care-team model — pricing includes medication, quarterly labs, physician visits, coaching, and 24/7 messaging, with four named 503A pharmacy partners disclosed. Semaglutide is $183/mo and tirzepatide $267/mo, with annual plans cutting cost further.

Zappy operates in about 42 states (not HI, AL, AR, CA, KS, MI, MN or MS). Note that some third-party reports raise pharmacy-sourcing concerns.
