Peter MD

Ranked #53 for women · Grade C

The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: Live Vital

Live Vital edges out Peter MD on the Luna Fit Score, 76 to 72 (C vs C). Women in perimenopause who want a named, menopause-credentialled physician rather than a clinician network, and who will do the arithmetic on the protocol price themselves. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing Live Vital.

Peter MD is still a genuine option — a physician-prescribed telehealth brand (Miami, founded 2021) that puts GLP-1 care on the same account as TRT, ED, NAD+, sermorelin and hair loss — genuinely broad, but built for a general and largely male-first audience rather than PCOS or hormonal care specific to women. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our Peter MD write-up for women goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of Peter MD widens the field.

Live Vital

Ranked #61 · Grade C

What we like

  • Founder Dr. Patrick Taylor is a menopause-certified practitioner and lists women's health as his first specialty — a rare credential in this segment
  • Publishes a free 40-page perimenopause clinical guide with 32 peer-reviewed citations, which frames peptide therapy as an adjunct to hormone therapy rather than a substitute for it
  • Peptide and hormone therapy sit on the same account as GLP-1 care

The caveats

  • The advertised '$99/mo' is a $299 prepaid ten-week protocol divided by three months — the real cost is closer to $128 per 30 days
  • No month-to-month option exists at all; the prepaid protocol is the only way to buy
  • The pricing page does not list semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide anywhere — the GLP-1s sit on separate pages it does not link to

Peter MD

Ranked #53 · Grade C

What we like

  • One of the widest catalogs in this ranking: TRT, ED, weight loss, GLP-1, men's hair loss and NAD+ all live under a single account
  • Physician-prescribed rather than a form-only handoff
  • Both GLP-1 molecules disclosed with real per-product pricing, not a single vague headline figure

The caveats

  • Price varies meaningfully by tier and product — semaglutide alone has two published rates (new vs. returning patient) whose totals don't cleanly reduce to one monthly number
  • Tirzepatide is billed quarterly with a first-month teaser rate ($149) against a $249/mo standing charge — budget for the standing rate, not the number in the hero
  • State restrictions vary by treatment and are broader than the customer-facing pages disclose — the affiliate program's own listing excludes several more states (AL, AR, CA, ID, IA, KY, LA, MA, MI, NC, SC, TX depending on the product) than the marketing pages mention
