Shed FAQ
How much does Shed cost?
Shed does not publish standard pricing on its website, you receive a personalized quote after completing the intake assessment, based on your treatment plan and whether you choose name-brand or compounded medication. New patients get 10% off their first month. Coaching is bundled into the monthly cost rather than charged separately.
Does Shed offer name-brand GLP-1 medications?
Yes. Shed is one of the few platforms offering both FDA-approved name-brand GLP-1 medications and compounded alternatives. This lets you choose based on budget and preference, branded options provide regulatory assurance at a higher cost, while compounded options are more affordable.
What is Shed's coaching, and why does it matter?
Shed integrates continuous coaching into every treatment plan rather than simply issuing a prescription. Coaching supports you through titration, lifestyle changes, and plateaus throughout your program. The platform's thesis is that medication alone is rarely sufficient for sustained weight loss, a genuine differentiator versus script-and-ship competitors.
Is Shed legitimate?
Yes. Shed (formerly ShedRx) is a licensed telehealth weight loss platform that prescribes both name-brand and compounded GLP-1 medication after a clinician review. Its 2-minute assessment checks eligibility, and a licensed provider confirms your treatment plan before any prescription is issued.
How long does Shed approval take?
Shed uses a 2-minute online assessment to check eligibility quickly. After you complete it, a clinician reviews your case and, if approved, you select between name-brand and compounded GLP-1 options. Medication is then shipped to your home, with coaching support beginning from the start of your plan.
How does Shed compare to other GLP-1 providers?
Shed's standout features are its dual name-brand-and-compounded medication options and its integrated coaching, which most competitors do not offer. Platforms like Embody ($69) and Novi ($133) are cheaper but provide prescription-only service. Shed is best for patients who have struggled on medication alone and want behavioral support alongside their GLP-1 treatment.
