At a glanceSHED costs $199/month for compounded semaglutide and $299/month for compounded tirzepatide, with 20% off your first month. Every plan includes the provider visit, health coaching, and the medication shipped to your door. It's HSA/FSA approved and backed by a lose-5%-in-120-days-or-your-money-back guarantee.
The quick answer
SHED pricing at a glance
| Plan | Medication | Monthly price |
|---|---|---|
| GLP-1 | Compounded semaglutide (weekly) | $199 (20% off month one) |
| GLP-1 + GIP | Compounded tirzepatide (weekly) | $299 (20% off month one) |
With the first-month discount, you start at roughly $159 (semaglutide) or $239 (tirzepatide) before the standard rate kicks in.
What's actually included
- The medication, shipped to your door
- The provider visit - no separate consultation fee
- Health coaching with every plan
- HSA/FSA eligibility - pay with pre-tax dollars
- The 5%-in-120-days money-back guarantee
That bundle is the fair way to read the price: SHED is selling a program, not a vial. Providers charging $59-$89 are selling medication with lighter support around it.
How SHED compares on price
| Provider | Semaglutide | Tirzepatide |
|---|---|---|
| WellMedr | $59/mo | $99/mo |
| embody | $69/mo | $119/mo |
| altRx | $89/mo | $149/mo |
| DirectMeds | $147/mo | $147/mo |
| Medvi | $179/mo | $249/mo |
| SHED | $199/mo | $299/mo |
SHED is the premium of the group. The honest comparison isn't price-per-vial - it's whether bundled coaching plus the guarantee are worth roughly $130/month over the budget tier for you. If you've tried medication-only and stalled, that's the case for SHED; see what to do about a plateau.
What To Know Before Starting GLP-1 Treatment
Before starting GLP-1 treatment, it's important to understand a few key things. These medications require a prescription from a licensed clinician and aren't suitable for everyone. Some people may experience side effects, especially during the first few weeks as the body adjusts.
GLP-1s also tend to work best when combined with basic lifestyle habits like balanced nutrition and regular physical activity.
That's why choosing a provider that offers proper medical screening and ongoing follow-up support is essential for both safety and long-term success.
Ways to pay less
- Use the 20% first-month discount - automatic at signup.
- Pay with HSA/FSA funds - effectively discounts the price by your marginal tax rate, and SHED is explicitly approved for it.
- The guarantee is itself downside protection - if the program doesn't deliver 5% in 120 days, the money-back policy caps your risk.
- If coaching isn't valuable to you, the budget tier (WellMedr, embody) delivers the same active ingredients for far less.
Is SHED worth the money?
SHED is the right pick for a specific person: someone who wants accountability - human coaching, a structured program, and a provider financially committed to their result. If that structure is the difference between starting and finishing, it's worth the premium. If you're self-driven and price-sensitive, buy the medication cheaper elsewhere.
