Head-to-head for women
Live Vital vs Sprout Health
Live Vital and Sprout Health 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.
Live Vital
Ranked #48 for women · Grade C
Luna Fit
Best for: 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.

Higher scoreRanked #10 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding.
Visit Sprout HealthThe verdict for women
Sprout Health edges out Live Vital on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 76 (B vs C). Patients who want a low compounded entry price but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding. The reasoning behind that number is in our Sprout Health write-up for women.
Live Vital is still a genuine option — a one-physician practice whose founder is menopause-certified and has written a 40-page perimenopause guide — genuine midlife expertise, wrapped around the most misleading price presentation on the board. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing Live Vital goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the full field we rank against Live Vital widens the field.

Live Vital
Ranked #48 · 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
Luna Fit
Sprout Health
Ranked #10 · Grade B
What we like
- LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
- Both compounded ($149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide) and a genuine brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound route
- Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required
The caveats
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
- No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
- Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated
