About Joi + Blokes
Joi + Blokes is a hormone-first telehealth platform with parallel programs for women (Joi) and men (Blokes), now expanded to compounded GLP-1s for weight loss. The integrated hormone-plus-GLP-1 stack is its differentiator versus pure weight-loss telehealth — useful for patients already on testosterone or perimenopausal hormone protocols. Compounded semaglutide runs $99 the first month then $199/mo, and tirzepatide $149 then $299/mo, both billed quarterly.

Joi + Blokes
What we like
- Separate programs for women (Joi) and men (Blokes) — most GLP-1 telehealth is gender-agnostic
- Trustpilot 4.6/5 from 1,254+ reviews — among the strongest review signals in the category
- Monthly price includes medication, dosing support, clinician consults, and health coaching
- Integrated hormone + GLP-1 programs help patients on testosterone or perimenopausal protocols
- First-month discount ($99 sema / $149 tirz) lowers the barrier to trying GLP-1s
Watch-outs
- Billed quarterly — a 3-month commitment up front, not month-to-month
- Different pricing in NY and NJ — verify your state's cost before committing
- Per-state availability isn't listed; it's zip-code gated behind signup
- Months 2+ cost more ($199 sema / $299 tirz) than the headline intro price
- No FDA-approved Wegovy — compounded only on the GLP-1 side; Zepbound carries a separate visit fee
- No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation badge visible
Elara Health and Wellness
What we like

- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- All 50 states plus DC, with explicit coverage language
- Substantial annual-plan savings ($792/yr semaglutide, $858/yr tirzepatide)
- Self-service cancellation on monthly and quarterly plans
Watch-outs
- LegitScript certification status not disclosed
- No named medical director or physician leadership
- Annual plan requires a 12-month commitment; early-cancellation terms not detailed
