Shed review

Shed is an online weight-loss clinic that prescribes GLP-1 medication after a short health form and ships it to your door. Its range is wide: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by weekly injection, the same molecules as daily liquid drops or lozenges, a once-a-day pill (Foundayo), brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound, and a few non-GLP-1 options such as a metformin, naltrexone and topiramate capsule. If you have been putting off treatment because you hate needles, that range is the main reason to look here.

What does Shed actually offer women?

The weight-loss menu is the core of the business. Around it sit hair-loss products (a women's 3-in-1 hair tablet, a 5-in-1 serum and a copper peptide serum), two women's sexual-health products (a sublingual tablet called Desire and a topical cream called Euphoria), and a longevity shelf with NAD+, glutathione, sermorelin, methylene blue and low-dose naltrexone.

What you will not find is hormone care. Shed does not offer estrogen or progesterone, and its pages do not mention PCOS, perimenopause or menopause as conditions it treats. If you are in perimenopause and want weight and hormones handled by one clinician, this is a weight clinic, not a menopause clinic. For PCOS, the GLP-1s themselves may still be what your clinician would reach for; just expect a general weight program rather than one built around your cycle or insulin resistance.

How much does Shed cost?

Shed prices by medication and by plan length, and every product page shows the ladder. The number on the banners is the twelve-month rate, so read the one-month line first.

Compounded semaglutide injections: $199 a month on a one-month plan, $179 a month on six months, $159 a month on twelve.

Compounded tirzepatide injections: $299 a month on one month, $269 on six, $239 on twelve.

Liquid drops: semaglutide from $229 a month (starter tier) to $329 (standard); tirzepatide drops from $279 to $419.

Lozenges: semaglutide from $199 a month (starter) to $299 (standard).

Microdose plans: $149 a month for semaglutide, $199 for tirzepatide, at a fixed low dose.

Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound: listed from $349 a month, though one Wegovy card on the same page says $499, so confirm the figure at checkout.

The injection price is meant to cover every dose, and the homepage promises your price "stays the same even if your provider increases your dose." The help center adds an exception: on semaglutide, moving above 0.9 mg puts you on the $299 standard tier. Drops and lozenges are priced by dose range too, so a starter price only lasts as long as your starter dose.

Shed also sells an optional Premium add-on at $49.99 a month, which adds unlimited provider and coaching check-ins, priority support and package protection. Standard shipping is included, no insurance is needed, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted where your plan allows.

What do you get for the money?

Every plan includes the online visit, the prescription, the medication and shipping. Shed lists a care team of a nurse, a member success manager, a prescribing provider, a health coach and a registered dietitian, and its product pages advertise unlimited provider follow-ups. Its homepage names four of its clinicians, two physicians, a nurse practitioner and a registered nurse.

You manage everything through a member portal, where you message the team and track orders. Shed also includes Pivot, a free shot-tracking app. One detail worth knowing: Shed says some coaching texts may be drafted by AI, with a licensed coach reviewing them before they are sent.

Shed does not say which pharmacy compounds its medication, only that it is "a licensed pharmacy." It does display a LegitScript seal, an industry certification for online pharmacies and telehealth sellers.

How does starting with Shed work?

You fill in a health form that Shed says takes about five minutes, a licensed provider reviews it, and if you are prescribed, the medication ships to you. In most states no appointment is required, though Shed's FAQ says some states require a short video visit. Shed says it serves all 50 states, but which forms you can get (injection, drops or lozenge) depends on where you live. The site does not publish a shipping time.

What is Shed's money-back guarantee?

The guarantee is the headline offer: "Lose 5% or hit your goal weight in 120 days, or your money back." The terms are much narrower than the banner.

You cannot have used a GLP-1 before, compounded or brand-name. If you are switching from another clinic, you are not covered.

You must attend all four monthly coaching appointments with your Shed health coach, log your weight twice a month and complete at least half of the daily check-ins.

If you are new to GLP-1s and willing to do the check-ins, the guarantee is real money on the table. Keep a record of every check-in from day one.

Can you cancel Shed, and do you get a refund?

Plans renew automatically. You must cancel at least 72 hours before your next billing date, or the next charge goes through. Outside the guarantee, the terms say subscription fees are "non-refundable once charged" and that refunds are not given for lack of results or a change of mind.

On six- and twelve-month plans, a shipment that has left the pharmacy counts as used in full. If you cancel a longer plan early, Shed reprices the months you used at the one-month rate and refunds the difference, so the discount disappears. Switching medications in the middle of a plan is treated as a cancellation plus a new plan, with your remaining balance applied as credit.

Is Shed legit?

Yes. It is an established clinic with named clinicians, a LegitScript seal and a large customer base. Shed says it has 150,000 members. On Trustpilot it rates 4.6 out of 5 across more than a thousand reviews, and most reviewers praise fast onboarding, quick provider replies and gradual dose increases.

The complaints follow a pattern worth knowing before you pay. Reviewers on Trustpilot mention duplicate charges after a failed payment, charges that continued after they tried to cancel, and refund requests that were refused or went unanswered. A few describe support as automated or slow. Shed replies to nearly all negative reviews, usually by asking the customer to call.

Shed pros and cons

What works: three needle-free routes (drops, lozenges and a daily pill) alongside injections, a price ladder printed on every product page, named clinicians, a dietitian and coach included, and a guarantee that pays out if you meet its conditions.

What to watch: the banner prices are twelve-month rates, semaglutide above 0.9 mg moves you to a higher tier, the guarantee excludes anyone who has taken a GLP-1 before, the pharmacy is not named, there is no hormone or menopause care, and canceling a long plan early costs you the discount.

The bottom line

Shed suits a woman who is new to GLP-1s, would rather take drops or a lozenge than inject, and wants the coaching included. Start on the one-month plan until you know the medication agrees with you. Write down your 72-hour cancellation date, and ask what your price will be at your next dose step before you agree to it. If you are coming from another clinic, or you want hormone care in the same place, look elsewhere.
