Desk Score
Big Easy Weight Loss (joinbigeasy.com) is a New Orleans MD-run telehealth that ships compounded GLP-1 medication nationwide.
$133/mo sema · $166/mo tirz · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: Priced as 10 to 12-week packages rather than a simple monthly fee
Desk Score
A nationwide cash-pay program that answers the two questions this desk asks first — what does my dose cost, and who is prescribing it — and declines to answer a third, which pharmacy fills it.
$129/mo (see conditions) sema · $229/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The dispensing pharmacy is disclosed only in post-purchase paperwork, so no 503A or 503B status can be checked in advance
Big Easy Weight Loss takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 82/100 (B−) against 81/100 (B−) for KERNX Health. KERNX Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
