All services listed below operate in Colorado. Editorial rankings are independent of affiliate payouts.
Hims Weight Loss
Hims Weight Loss is the most operationally reliable path to compounded semaglutide for Black women without insurance, but FDA enforcement against compounded GLP-1 may compress this option in 2026-2027.
Best for Black women who want a transparent monthly self-pay path to GLP-1 weight management and who are not eligible for branded Wegovy through insurance.
Found
Found is the most comprehensive weight-management telehealth, bundling clinician + coach + GLP-1 access at a higher monthly cost than Hims Weight Loss. Worth it if behavior change is the bottleneck, not the prescription.
Best for Black patients who want structured behavior coaching alongside GLP-1 medication, not just the prescription on its own.
Henry Meds
Henry Meds is competitive with Hims Weight Loss on price and medication menu, but operationally trails the public-company incumbents on reliability and customer-service consistency.
Best for Black patients who want flat-rate self-pay GLP-1 access and are price-shopping among compounded-semaglutide providers.
GLP-1 context in Colorado
Black adults have approximately 1.6x the type-2-diabetes prevalence and 57% obesity rate among Black women, the highest US rate per CDC. GLP-1 medications produce 15-20% sustained weight loss in clinical trials. Access in Colorado depends on insurance coverage (most plans require prior authorization for branded GLP-1) or self-pay through compounded telehealth, which is under active FDA enforcement scrutiny in 2026-2027.
