Quick summary: what you need to know
If you only read one section, read this one. Zealthy is an online health service at getzealthy.com. You sign up on the website, answer some health questions, talk to a real licensed doctor or nurse online, and get medicine mailed to your home. One low monthly fee lets you use many services, not just one.
Most online health brands only do one thing. Some only sell weight loss shots. Some only help with hair loss. Zealthy is different because it covers many kinds of care under one membership. That includes weight loss shots, everyday doctor visits (like a sinus infection or a UTI), mental health help, birth control, hair loss, skin care, and more. Prices are listed right on the website, which is not always true for other telehealth brands.
What is Zealthy?
Zealthy is a U.S. telehealth company. Telehealth just means "doctor visits done online." Instead of driving to a clinic, you use your phone or laptop to fill out a health form, chat or video with a doctor, and get a treatment plan. If you need medicine, it ships from a real, licensed pharmacy in the United States.
The company was started in 2023 by Kyle Robertson. He had helped start another health company called Cerebral, so he already knew how to run a large online care team. His idea for Zealthy was simple: many people skip the doctor because it costs too much or takes too long. If online care is easier and cheaper, more people get the help they need.
Today, Zealthy is based in New York City and works with hundreds of doctors, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists across the country.
Who is Zealthy a good fit for?
Zealthy is built for adults who want easy, low-cost online care. You are probably a good fit if any of these sound like you:
- You want to try GLP-1 weight loss shots and want a fair price.
- You need a quick visit for a common problem like a sinus infection, UTI, rash, or refill.
- You want help with anxiety, depression, ED, hair loss, skin care, or birth control without an in-person visit.
- You do not have insurance, or your deductible is high, and you want to know the price up front.
- You do have insurance and want to use it for weight loss or primary care without hours of paperwork.
Zealthy is not a good fit if you need in-person tests, surgery, or care for a serious emergency. In those cases, go to a local clinic or the ER.
All the services Zealthy offers
This is where Zealthy really stands out. Below is a plain-language list of every main service.
1. Weight loss with GLP-1 shots
GLP-1 shots are a newer type of medicine that help people feel full sooner, eat less, and lose weight. The most common ones are semaglutide (found in Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (found in Mounjaro and Zepbound). Zealthy offers two paths:
- Brand-name shots through insurance: Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Zepbound™. If your plan covers them, your copay can be as low as $25 a month.
- Compounded shots for cash-pay: Compounded semaglutide starts around $151 a month. Compounded tirzepatide starts around $216 a month. You save more if you pay for 3 or 6 months at once.
The program is not just a shipment of medicine. You get help from a doctor or nurse, a nutrition coach, dose changes if you feel side effects, and easy refills. That is a big deal, because on cheaper "prescribe and ship" sites you are often on your own.
2. Primary care (your everyday doctor)
Zealthy's primary care line takes commercial insurance and treats more than 30 common problems online. That includes sinus infections, UTIs, allergies, acid reflux, migraines, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and more. Members with insurance often pay $0 for the first three months. Doctors can also order lab work and manage long-term conditions, so it can act as your regular doctor, not just an urgent-care clinic.
3. Mental health
Zealthy has licensed prescribers who can treat anxiety and depression online. Common medicines include SSRIs like sertraline and escitalopram. Zealthy will not prescribe controlled drugs like Xanax, Adderall, or opioids online, which is the standard safe practice for telehealth. You can message your prescriber between visits.
4. Sexual and men's health
Online treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) with medicines like sildenafil (the drug in Viagra) and tadalafil (the drug in Cialis). Also hair-loss treatment with finasteride and minoxidil. Packages ship in plain, unmarked boxes for privacy.
5. Women's health
Online birth control prescriptions and refills — pills, patch, and ring. Plus prescription skin care for acne, dark spots, and anti-aging. UTIs and yeast infections can be treated through the primary care line.
6. Personalized skin care
You upload photos of your skin, a licensed clinician reviews them, and you get a custom cream mixed for your skin. Ingredients often include tretinoin, hydroquinone, or niacinamide, based on your goals.
7. Virtual urgent care
Same-day online visits for common problems like a cough, pink eye, or a small rash. You do not have to be a full member to use it.
Zealthy pricing (2026)
Zealthy lists prices right on the website. Here is a simple breakdown:
- Basic membership: From $39/month. This gives you unlimited messages with your care team and lets you use many services.
- Compounded semaglutide for weight loss: From about $151/month, medicine included. It costs less per month if you buy 3 or 6 months at once.
- Compounded tirzepatide: From about $216/month, with bundle discounts.
- Brand-name GLP-1 through insurance: As low as $25/month out of pocket if you qualify.
- Primary care with insurance: Often $0 for the first three months, then billed to your insurance.
- ED, hair loss, skin care, birth control: Usually $20–$50/month, depending on the medicine and dose.
For comparison, many other online weight loss brands start at $250 to $350 a month for the same compounded semaglutide. So Zealthy is often 30–50% cheaper, especially if you use more than one service.
How Zealthy works: a step-by-step walkthrough
- Step 1 — Pick a service. On getzealthy.com, tap the service you want, like "Weight loss" or "Primary care."
- Step 2 — Fill out the health form. This is a set of easy questions about your health, medicines, allergies, and goals. It usually takes 5–10 minutes.
- Step 3 — Talk to a clinician. Most visits happen through secure messages, so you do not have to be online at a set time. Some states require a video call, and Zealthy will set that up.
- Step 4 — Get your plan. If it is safe and a good fit, the clinician sends a prescription and a written plan. If not, they will explain why and suggest other options.
- Step 5 — Medicine ships. A licensed U.S. pharmacy fills the order and ships to your home, usually in a few business days. You get a tracking number.
- Step 6 — Ongoing care. You can message your care team anytime, adjust your dose, log your progress, and ask questions. Refills are automatic unless you pause them.
What a typical GLP-1 timeline looks like
Every person is different, but most Zealthy weight loss members follow a path like this:
- Week 1: Sign up, complete the health form, get approved, and receive the first shipment.
- Weeks 2–4: Start at the lowest dose. Mild nausea or tiredness is common. Most people lose 2–5 pounds.
- Months 2–3: Dose is slowly raised. Appetite drops noticeably. Many people lose 5–10% of their starting body weight.
- Months 4–6: Dose is fine-tuned. Weight loss often continues at about 1–2 pounds per week, then slows.
- Month 6 and beyond: Focus shifts to keeping the weight off, building habits, and possibly lowering the dose for maintenance.
Safety, side effects, and how Zealthy handles them
GLP-1 shots are FDA-approved brand-name medicines for weight loss and type 2 diabetes. They are used by millions of people. Common side effects include:
- Nausea or upset stomach, especially in the first few weeks
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Tiredness or headache
- Small drop in appetite (this is the point)
Rare but serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and thyroid tumors in animal studies. GLP-1 shots are not safe for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2. Zealthy's health form asks about these, and the clinician will not prescribe if it is not safe.
Zealthy also uses licensed U.S. pharmacies, not overseas suppliers. It will not prescribe controlled drugs online. If you have a side effect, you can message your care team the same day for help.
What we like about Zealthy
- One membership covers many services. Weight loss, everyday doctor visits, mental health, sexual health, women's health, skin care, and urgent care — all under one plan. Almost no other online brand does this.
- Insurance and cash-pay options. Most GLP-1 brands only push cash-pay compounded shots. Zealthy will help you use insurance for brand-name shots when you qualify, which can be far cheaper.
- Clear, low prices. Membership starts at $39/month and prices are listed on the website. No hidden fees.
- Real U.S. clinicians and pharmacies. Care comes from doctors and nurses licensed in your state. Medicine ships from licensed U.S. pharmacies.
- Experienced founder. Kyle Robertson helped scale Cerebral before Zealthy, so the team knows how to run a large online care service.
- Responsible clinical rules. Zealthy will not prescribe controlled drugs online. That is a good thing, not a limit.
- No lock-in. You can cancel the basic plan any time from your dashboard.
- Responsive support. Zealthy answers reviews and support tickets, including in public.
Where Zealthy could be better
No online health service is perfect. Being honest about the weak spots is part of a fair review.
- Mixed public review scores. On Trustpilot, Zealthy has about 3.1–3.2 stars across roughly 5,900 reviews. On ConsumerAffairs, it is close to 3.0. That is about normal for a fast-growing online health brand, but it means your experience can be great or bumpy.
- Some shipping delays during busy months. A share of the negative reviews are about slow shipping. Zealthy usually replies and fixes the problem, but if you need medicine on a strict timeline, order early.
- Not every service is in every state. Some services are limited by state law. Check availability when you sign up.
- Compounded medicine is not FDA-approved. This is true for every telehealth brand that offers compounded GLP-1s. Zealthy is upfront about this, and the brand-name option is there when insurance qualifies.
- Telehealth only. Zealthy is 100% online. It cannot replace in-person tests, physical exams, or procedures.
How Zealthy compares to other online health brands
The GLP-1 and telehealth space is crowded. Here is how Zealthy stacks up in plain language:
- Zealthy vs. Ro (ro.co): Ro looks polished and has strong ads, but you mostly sign up for one thing at a time (weight loss, ED, or hair). Zealthy covers more services under one membership and is usually cheaper for compounded semaglutide.
- Zealthy vs. Hims & Hers: Hims & Hers is well known and has a big menu, but its GLP-1 prices usually start higher, and it does less on the primary care side.
- Zealthy vs. Sesame or Teladoc: Sesame and Teladoc are good for one-off visits. Zealthy is better for ongoing programs like weight loss and long-term conditions under one plan.
- Zealthy vs. small compounded-only startups: Many of these charge $250–$350 a month, do not help with insurance, and only sell GLP-1s. Zealthy is cheaper and does far more.
Is Zealthy safe to use?
Yes, with the same caution you should have for any prescription program. Zealthy uses U.S.-licensed clinicians and licensed U.S. pharmacies. It will not prescribe controlled drugs online. Every intake asks about your health history, other medicines, and allergies. To stay safe, tell your care team the full truth about your health, follow the dosing plan, and message them if a side effect worries you.
Privacy and your data
Zealthy follows HIPAA, the U.S. law that protects your health information. Your health data is stored in secure systems and only shared with the clinicians and pharmacies that help with your care. Medicine ships in plain packaging without any big brand labels on the outside, which is nice for privacy at the door.
What real members say
We read thousands of Zealthy reviews on Trustpilot, ConsumerAffairs, and GLP-1 review sites. A few themes came up again and again:
- Positive: Low price, easy-to-use app, fast approval, and real weight loss on GLP-1 shots.
- Positive: Helpful messaging with the care team and clear nutrition coaching.
- Positive: Members who use both weight loss and primary care under one plan often call it the best value in telehealth they have tried.
- Negative: Some shipping delays during busy months. Zealthy usually replies to these reviews and fixes the issue.
- Negative: A small number of members say cancelling was harder than expected. The fix is to cancel from your dashboard and save the confirmation email.
Overall, the pattern is what you would expect from a fast-growing online health service: when things go well, the experience is excellent; when they go wrong, it is almost always a shipping issue rather than a care problem.
Tips to get the most out of Zealthy
- Try the insurance path first. If your plan covers Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro, use it. A $25/month copay beats any cash-pay price.
- Bundle your services. One membership can cover weight loss and primary care and mental health. Do not pay three companies for what Zealthy can do at once.
- Order refills a week early. This one tip removes most of the shipping stress people mention in reviews.
- Use the messaging. It is included in your membership. Ask about doses, side effects, food ideas, and lab results.
- Prepay if you are sure. The 3- and 6-month bundles lower your monthly cost on GLP-1s.
- Keep a simple journal. Track your weight, dose, and how you feel each week. It makes clinician check-ins much more useful.

A Zealthy clinician will review your health history and warn you about risks before prescribing.
The verdict: is Zealthy worth it?
For most adults who want simple, low-cost online care, the answer is yes.
