Shed - Weight loss

Our Verdict

Shed (formerly ShedRx) has evolved into one of the most accessible and supportive telehealth platforms for weight loss. By offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, it provides a cost-effective alternative to expensive name-brand medications like Wegovy® and Zepbound®, without requiring insurance.

We previously noted that one-on-one support was limited to a “VIP” tier, but Shed has significantly upgraded its standard offering. Now, every subscription includes unlimited 24/7 access to a clinical team and a dedicated Member Success Manager, resolving the biggest drawback of the earlier model.

With a transparent monthly fee that covers medication, shipping, and clinical care—plus the flexibility of new needle-free options like lozenges and drops—Shed is an excellent choice for patients seeking a guided, hassle-free path to medical weight loss. While side effects like nausea are possible with any GLP-1 medication, Shed’s robust support system ensures you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Affordable semaglutide and tirzepatide
Needle-free options available (Drops & Lozenges)
Unlimited 24/7 clinical support included
Quick delivery

Cons

Oral medications not available in all states
No mobile app (Web portal only)

Process

Process: Here’s how patients can sign up for the weight loss medication program with Shed:

Online Medical Questionnaire: The process begins with a 5-minute online medical assessment. You will answer questions about your health history, current weight, and weight loss goals to determine eligibility.
Select Program & Checkout: Unlike the previous model, you will select your preferred treatment plan (Injections, Drops, or Lozenges) and complete the checkout process for your subscription immediately.
Care Team & Wellness Plan: Once registered, a Member Success Manager will guide you through the onboarding process. You can also work with health coaches to build a personalized wellness plan while you wait for approval.
Provider Review & Shipping: A licensed healthcare provider will review your medical information. If approved, your medication is prescribed and shipped directly to your door within 5 to 10 days. The package includes all necessary tools and instructions. You can cancel the subscription at any time.

Treatment Effectiveness

Treatment Effectiveness Shed highlights the effectiveness of its treatments by referencing the clinical success of GLP-1 medications. According to the brand’s current data, patients on Semaglutide can lose up to 15% of their body weight, while those prescribed Tirzepatide may see weight reductions of up to 20%.

While these medications are effective, they do carry the risk of side effects. Common side effects include diarrhea, headaches, nausea, and constipation. The Shed healthcare provider informs the patient of the potential side effects, especially considering any existing health conditions they may have.

Additional Features

Shed now integrates comprehensive support directly into its standard subscription. Unlike the previous model that charged extra for coaching, every plan now includes unlimited 24/7 access to the clinical team. Additionally, members are paired with a Member Success Manager for guidance, and can work with health coaches to build a personalized wellness plan. This ensures that lifestyle changes—such as nutrition and habits—are supported alongside the medication at no additional cost.

Ease of use

The Shed platform is designed for simplicity, starting with a quick online assessment to get started. Managing your subscription plan is easy and straightforward via the user dashboard. A major upgrade to the user experience is the addition of a Member Success Manager to guide you, along with unlimited 24/7 access to your clinical team directly through your account. Currently, Shed operates primarily as a web-based platform and does not offer a dedicated mobile app, though the portal is optimized for use on mobile browsers.

Post-treatment Support

Shed provides continuous care through unlimited 24/7 provider access, weight tracking tools, and dedicated guidance from a Member Success Manager as part of your active subscription. These features are exclusive to subscribers; once you terminate your plan, access to the clinical team and support tools ends. When you reach your weight goals, your care team and health coaches can guide you on switching to a maintenance plan or tapering off the medication safely to sustain your results.

Customer Service

Shed provides a robust support system designed to guide patients through every step of their weight loss journey. The standout feature is unlimited 24/7 access to the clinical care team, allowing members to message their providers with medical questions at any time via the secure portal.

In addition to medical support, every subscriber is paired with a dedicated Member Success Manager to assist with onboarding and program adherence. For general account questions or billing issues, the Shed Care Team is available via phone during standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm). The website also features a detailed FAQ section and a blog with resources on nutrition and lifestyle changes.
