Verdict
The hybrid option: 50-year-old California-rooted medical weight loss chain that pairs in-clinic GLP-1 injections, quarterly labs, and monthly body composition scans with monthly billing. Most clinically supervised model on this list, but $99/mo wellness membership is on top of GLP-1 program pricing.

Not for
- People outside Lindora's clinic footprint or anyone wanting a fully virtual cash-pay model.
