Head-to-head for women
HealthSource vs Sesame Care
HealthSource and Sesame Care both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Luna Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.
HealthSource
Ranked #49 for women · Grade C
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want an oral tirzepatide option and a documented nationwide footprint, and who will read the four-week billing cycle rather than assuming it is monthly.

Luna Fit
Best for: Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.
Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out HealthSource on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 74 (B vs C). Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program. The reasoning behind that number is in the Sesame Care scorecard.
HealthSource is still a genuine option — one of the few programs that documents its all-50-state footprint rather than asserting it, with an oral tirzepatide route and a starter-dose plan priced the same as the full dose. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing HealthSource goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of HealthSource widens the field.

Luna Fit
HealthSource
Ranked #49 · Grade C
What we like
- The only provider in this batch whose all-50-state claim is documented on its own service-areas page rather than asserted in marketing copy
- An oral tirzepatide programme alongside the injections
- Starter-dose and full-dose plans cost the same, so titrating up does not raise the bill
The caveats
- Billed every four weeks, not monthly — thirteen charges a year, so the effective annual cost is about 8% above the sticker
- Never actually claims flat pricing across all doses; the variants it sells happen to cost the same
- The form of the oral tirzepatide — sublingual, troche or swallowed tablet — is not disclosed anywhere
Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #4 · Grade B
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
The caveats
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
