SkinnyRx
SkinnyRx is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform founded in 2023 that focuses exclusively on weight loss medications. The company operates on a streamlined async consultation model — patients complete an online questionnaire, which is reviewed by licensed providers within 24 hours. There are no video consultations, no dietitian access, and no lab work. The pitch is simplicity: flat-rate pricing with no membership fee, fast onboarding, and compounded GLP-1 medications shipped to your door.
