Best coaching + habit change (compounded)

The pick if coaching and habit change matter as much as the drug. Noom pairs its well-known behavior-change program with compounded GLP-1s — strong support, but the medication is compounded (not FDA-approved) and the tiered pricing needs a close read.

Cost

Reported programs range from a ~$49 microdose starter to ~$279/month for full-dose compounded semaglutide (about $837 per 12 weeks), plus tirzepatide tiers. Medication, visits, and coaching are bundled. Not independently verified — confirm the current plan and recurring price before enrolling.

Verification status: We could not independently verify a public official price on 2026-07-28. Treat any advertised figure as unverified and confirm the all-in cost before enrolling.

The all-in cost rule: your real cost is membership + medication + any required labs — not just the headline membership price. Confirm the full number for your situation before enrolling. For every path compared, see our real cost of GLP-1s guide.

What we like

  • Best-in-class behavioral coaching and app
  • Large, well-known consumer brand
  • Bundles medication, visits, and coaching

What to watch

  • Medication is compounded — NOT FDA-approved (see disclosure)
  • The microdose starter price is not the ongoing full-dose cost
  • Tiered pricing is complex — read the fine print

Compounded-medication note: Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. It is not a generic or the same as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Availability is now restricted since the FDA declared the shortages resolved — see our compounded semaglutide guide.
