Which fits your priorities?
Only the points where these two differ, from the table above and each provider’s record.
Choose Live Vital if…
- Physician-led — founded by Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD; all treatments doctor-prescribed via the clinical team
- Every plan includes doctor prescribing, licensed-pharmacy medication, and direct-to-door shipping
- Unlimited messaging with the care team; you can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period
What to weigh up
- The advertised '/mo' rate divides a 10-week protocol by three, so a calendar month really costs about $130 or $239
- Doesn't accept insurance (HSA/FSA funds only)
Choose PlexusDx if…
- Optional Precision Peptide genetic panel adds a personalization angle
- Independent clinician review via state-licensed telehealth platform
- Compounded medications from state-licensed pharmacies
What to weigh up
- Compounded medications only; no FDA-approved brand options
- Specific compounding pharmacies not named
