Independent Wellness review
Graded on whether a price is published, checkable, and still true at month two — how we grade · how we verify prices
Independent Wellness prices compounded semaglutide at $99 a month and promises the figure never rises. A table further down the same page calls it a first-month price.

The verdict
Nobody else on this roster tells you where your medicine comes from like this — three pharmacies named with addresses, phone numbers and licensure. Then its own pricing page contradicts its central promise, and it publishes no terms of service at all.

Pros and cons
What we like
- Three pharmacies are named in full, with legal names, trading names, street addresses, telephone numbers and LegitScript status.
- One pharmacy's state licensure is enumerated rather than summarized as a count.
- The clinician managing the programs is named with credentials on every page.
- Each product card carries a single number and lists exactly what it covers.
- Payment is taken only after the provider approves, stated on every card.
- Labs and unlimited provider visits are included in the price rather than sold separately.
What could be better
- The pricing page promises the monthly price never increases and then calls the same figure a first-month price in a table below.
- That table's upper figure matches no product the site sells.
- No terms of service exist, so no governing law, cancellation clause or refund policy is published.
- No company address appears on any page we read.
- The page describes its compounded product in language that is true only of the FDA-approved brand drug.
- The pharmacy state lists are the pharmacies', not a statement of where this practice prescribes.
What it is
Independent Wellness is a small GLP-1 weight-loss practice sold as one clinician's programs rather than a platform: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by injection, and compounded oral drops of each. Its pitch is provider access — the same provider every visit, unlimited visits, labs included. It is a different model from the way most telehealth prescriptions are actually written.
Its pharmacy page names three pharmacies in full: legal name and trading name, street address, telephone number, LegitScript status, and for one of them the twenty-six states it is licensed to ship to.
Nothing else we reviewed in this batch comes close to that, and very little on the wider roster does. Most sellers say "a licensed US pharmacy" and stop. This one publishes a page whose entire purpose is to tell you which companies handle your prescription and where they are.
It also names its clinician, with credentials: all programs are described as managed by a board-certified nurse practitioner, named on every page footer. We did not verify that license ourselves, and say only that the site names her.

What it actually costs
Four products, four numbers, each on its own card. Compounded semaglutide is $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide is $199, with the oral drops priced higher — $249 and $379 a month respectively. Every card lists the same inclusions: medication delivered monthly, unlimited provider visits, labs included, and the line "Your Monthly Price Never Increases". The hero above them says "Payments never change!"
Lower on the same page, a comparison table gives the injection "Pricing Range" as "$99–$279 first month" — a first-month framing on a page that promises payments never change, and a top figure that matches no product it sells.
Both statements are on one page, a few screens apart, and nothing reconciles them. If the cards are right, the table's "first month" is wrong and so is its upper figure. If the table is right, the promise printed four times on the cards above is not. A reader cannot tell which, and the site never says.
There is a second, quieter contradiction about the product itself. The same page describes its semaglutide as "FDA-approved for other uses, but not specifically as a weight loss medication" — which is a true statement about the brand drug and not about the compounded one, and its own product cards label what it sells "Compounded GLP-1". Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for anything. That is the central difference between a compounded GLP-1 and a brand one.
One genuinely good practice sits on every card: "No payment required until approved". The provider reviews first and the money moves afterwards, which is the reverse of several sellers in this batch and is the right way round.
The site publishes no terms of service. Its footer legal links are a pharmacy page, a privacy policy and a disclaimer — so there is no governing law, no cancellation clause and no refund policy to read.
Who it's wrong for
- Anyone who needs the price promise to hold. The cards say the monthly price never increases and a table on the same page calls the same figure a first-month price.
- Anyone who wants to read the contract before signing. No terms of service exist on the site, so no governing law, cancellation clause or refund policy is published.
- Anyone who wants the company's address. None appears on any of the five pages we read — only an email and two telephone numbers.
- Anyone taking the FDA statement at face value. The page describes its compounded product using language that is true only of the brand drug.
- Anyone who assumes the pharmacy state lists are the company's. They describe where each pharmacy may ship, not where this practice prescribes.
Is Independent Wellness legit?
Independent Wellness is operated by Independent Wellness (no corporate suffix is given). We read that off the company’s own privacy policy on September 2026.

Common questions
How much does Independent Wellness cost per month?
Its cards price compounded semaglutide at $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $199, with medication, unlimited provider visits and labs included. A table lower on the same page contradicts that by describing the figure as a first-month price.
Does Independent Wellness raise the price after the first month?
Its cards say no, four times, and its hero says payments never change. Its own comparison table then gives the injection pricing as a range described as a first-month figure. The page never reconciles the two claims.
Which pharmacies does Independent Wellness use?
Three, and it names them properly: legal name and trading name, street address, telephone number and LegitScript status for each, plus an enumerated list of the states one of them is licensed to ship to. That is the best pharmacy disclosure in this batch.
Does Independent Wellness publish terms of service?
No. Across the five pages we read, the only legal documents linked are a pharmacy page, a privacy policy and a disclaimer, so no governing law, cancellation clause or refund policy is published anywhere on the site.
Do you pay Independent Wellness before the consultation?
No, and it says so on every product card: "No payment required until approved". The provider reviews your history first and payment follows approval, which is the reverse of several sellers we reviewed alongside it.
Why we gave Independent Wellness a C
Read the full grading rationale
No one else on this roster tells you where your medicine comes from like this. Independent Wellness publishes a page that names three pharmacies in full — legal name and DBA, street address, phone number, LegitScript status, and for one of them the twenty-six states it is licensed to ship to — and it names the nurse practitioner who runs its programs, Bonnie Lea Davis, FNP-C. Its four products each carry one number: $99 a month for compounded semaglutide, $199 for tirzepatide, $249 and $379 for the oral drops, with labs and unlimited provider visits included and "Your Monthly Price Never Increases" printed on every card. Then the same page contradicts all of it. A comparison table below the cards gives the injection "Pricing Range" as "$99–$279 first month" — a first-month framing on a page that promises payments never change, and a $279 that matches no product it sells. Two more gaps: the site publishes no terms of service at all, only a privacy policy and a disclaimer, so no governing law and no cancellation terms exist to read; and it publishes no address, which also means the warning-letter screen could not be run against it.
What that means
Screening is by entity — the company’s own domain plus the address it publishes — never by brand name, because a brand name matches every namesake. Where a company publishes no address that separates it from a namesake, the honest record is that the screen was not run — never that it came back clean. A letter would be worth knowing about; it would not by itself disqualify a seller.How we reviewed Independent Wellness
- We read five pages in full on the same day: the pricing page, the pharmacy page, the FAQ, the privacy policy and the disclaimer.
- We read the whole pricing page rather than stopping at the product cards, which is how the comparison table's contradicting figure came to light.
- We did not record the pharmacy state lists as this company's coverage. They describe where each pharmacy is licensed to ship, and the roster's rule is that a list of something else is not a coverage list.
- We checked the footer's legal links across every page before saying no terms of service exist, rather than concluding it from one page.
- The FDA warning-letter screen could not be run, because the company publishes no address for the screen's address test to use. No absence of warning letters is claimed for it.
