Direct Meds vs He & She MD

He & She MD

Ranked #25 for women · Grade B−

Best for: Women who want the GLP-1 and the hormone conversation handled by one clinician rather than split across two providers, and who will read the asterisk before choosing a plan length.

Direct Meds

Ranked #26 · Grade B−

What we like

  • Rare oral and sublingual route in addition to injectable — a real option for the needle-averse
  • Both molecules offered — semaglutide and tirzepatide for insulin-resistant PCOS
  • All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee, and a promotional entry near $147

The caveats

  • Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand semaglutide or tirzepatide
  • Prices are company-stated, not ones we could verify live, and the brand runs multiple domains
  • A newer operator with an ambiguous footprint, so the oversight signal is thinner

He & She MD

Ranked #25 · Grade B−

What we like

  • Sells estradiol (patch, gel and pill) and progesterone alongside its GLP-1s, so the menopause and metabolic sides run through one intake
  • Prices four commitment terms per GLP-1 molecule in public, with the amount actually charged printed beside each
  • Names the dispensing pharmacy in full — F&F Pharmacies Inc, doing business as Jungle Jim's Pharmacy, 5484 Dixie Highway, Fairfield OH 45014, with a phone number

The caveats

  • The menopause line is the one place it stops publishing terms: estradiol patch, gel and pill and the progesterone pill all show "Starting at $125/month" with no term table at all, while seven other product pages carry a full four-rung ladder
  • Every advertised GLP-1 figure is the twelve-month rung — the "$99/month" on the banners requires $1,188 paid once, and the rate you can stop after a month is $199
  • Its FAQ says the pharmacy it names is licensed in 44 states and cannot dispense sterile compounds; a weekly GLP-1 injection is a sterile compound, and a second pharmacy is named in the same answer without saying which fills what
