Strut Health is a telehealth service offering GLP-1 weight loss treatment. This page covers how the programme is structured, the one question that changes the value of any such service, and what to verify before you hand over a card number.
We do not print prices. Pricing, drug supply and state availability shift monthly across every provider in this category, and a figure that is a month stale is worse than none.

Choosing between semaglutide and tirzepatide
Strut offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, which makes the choice of molecule a real decision rather than a default. Tirzepatide acts on two receptors rather than one and produced larger average weight loss in trials, but it is not automatically the right pick: side-effect profiles differ, and cost differs. If a provider offers both, ask which they are recommending for you and why. A programme that never raises the question is not individualising anything.
Compounded or brand? Ask before you pay
Compounded preparations are usually much cheaper, which is why low headline prices often involve them. That can be a reasonable choice made with a prescriber, but make it knowingly. Ask Strut Health in writing which you would receive. If the answer is vague, treat the vagueness as the answer. Our guide to what compounded semaglutide legally is covers this properly.
Before you sign up
Who this suits, and who it does not
Cash-pay telehealth works best if your insurance excludes weight management medication, or you want to start without waiting on a specialist referral. It works badly if you have coverage that would pay for a branded GLP-1 — in that case your own prescriber is almost always cheaper overall. Start with how to get Wegovy covered before paying cash.
Common questions
Does Strut Health take insurance?
Most services in this category are cash-pay, and compounded medication cannot be billed to insurance under any circumstances. Confirm directly rather than assuming.
How fast can I start?
Intake to first shipment is usually days rather than weeks if you are eligible. Delays generally come from incomplete medical history or pharmacy supply.
What if I get side effects?
Nausea, constipation and fatigue are common early and during dose increases. Read the symptoms that mean stop and seek care before you start.
Can I transfer my prescription later?
Sometimes. Compounded prescriptions are often tied to one pharmacy. Ask first if portability matters.
