Imbue Health vs. LifeMD
LifeMD Weight Management runs a $75–$99/mo membership and offers brand Wegovy® via NovoCare plus a 'Triple Therapy' compounded plan. Imbue Health's brand-only $29/mo membership routes you directly to NovoCare's $199 introductory pricing — a materially cheaper Wegovy® path.
The Bottom Line
LifeMD offers a broader telehealth platform with insurance support and compounded options. For patients who want brand-name GLP-1 medication at the lowest possible membership cost without compounded alternatives, Imbue is the more focused and affordable choice.
