Head-to-head for women
Sesame Care vs Telos Rx

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.

Ranked #11 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want GLP-1 care under the same roof as bioidentical HRT and needle-free options, from a LegitScript-certified compounder, and who are comfortable vetting a broad menu themselves.
Visit Telos RxThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out Telos Rx on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 83 (B vs B). 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.
Telos Rx is still a genuine option — one of the deepest catalogs we log for a woman managing metabolism and hormones together — semaglutide and tirzepatide in oral, microdosed, and injectable forms, plus bioidentical HRT and a long peptide menu, from a LegitScript-certified, HIPAA-compliant compounder. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our Telos Rx write-up for women goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the full field we rank against Telos Rx widens the field.

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
Luna Fit
Telos Rx
Ranked #11 · Grade B
What we like
- Deep catalog that includes bioidentical HRT — genuinely relevant for women managing metabolism and hormones at once
- Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, plus microdosed lanes for a gradual on-ramp
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA-compliant, with HSA/FSA accepted and free shipping
The caveats
- Everything is compounded — not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1, and the low rates hinge on annual lock-in
- No named clinicians and thin public reviews, so the oversight signal is harder to verify
