Head-to-head for women
NewSelf vs Strut Health
NewSelf and Strut 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.
NewSelf
Ranked #54 for women · Grade C
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who are certain they want three months of a flat-priced compounded GLP-1 and will not need to change their mind, because changing it is expensive here.

Higher scoreRanked #6 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want a needle-free option, or who want to see every route and price side by side before committing to one.
Visit Strut HealthThe verdict for women
Strut Health edges out NewSelf on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 64 (B vs C). Women who want a needle-free option, or who want to see every route and price side by side before committing to one. The reasoning behind that number is in our full Strut Health review.
NewSelf is still a genuine option — one price at any dose, three months of medication shipped up front — and a set of exit terms and unresolved compliance problems that make it the hardest program on this board to leave. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our NewSelf write-up for women goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, our ranked shortlist of NewSelf alternatives widens the field.

Luna Fit
NewSelf
Ranked #54 · Grade C
What we like
- One flat price at every dose for both molecules, with the dose ladder published beside it
- Three months of medication shipped up front, so there is no waiting on refills mid-titration
- LegitScript certified with a published, checkable ID
The caveats
- FDA warning letter MARCS-CMS 721472, dated 20 February 2026, to NewSelf Limited dba NewSelf, over product labelling and marketing language. As of 1 August 2026 the wording the FDA objected to was still live on the site — five months on, unremediated
- The product pages carry a badge reading 'cancel anytime', while the refund policy requires a three-month commitment and charges a full retail month as an early-cancellation fee. Those cannot both be true
- No refunds: cancelling before the doctor's review costs a $99 administrative fee, and after it nothing is refundable regardless of shipment status
Luna Fit
Strut Health
Ranked #6 · Grade B
What we like
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules — a real option if injections are the thing stopping you, and rare on this board
- Every route prices publicly: semaglutide from $99 sublingual or $149 injectable, tirzepatide from $199 either way
- Cancel, pause or delay a subscription yourself, with 48 hours' notice before processing
The caveats
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- No brand-name path at all
- Asynchronous by design — their FAQ notes some states do not require a phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber
