The best telehealth option specifically for menopause-related weight gain is MyMenopauseRx, as it is the only platform that explicitly treats weight gain with FDA-approved GLP-1 medications (such as Saxenda™, Wegovy™, and Zepbound™) alongside hormone therapy mymenopauserx.com[4].
While other services like Winona and BodyLogicMD effectively manage general menopause symptoms including weight gain through bioidentical hormone therapy (HRT) bywinona.com[2] and BodyLogicMD-affiliated practitioners[1], they do not prominently advertise dedicated prescriptions for weight loss medication. MyMenopauseRx distinguishes itself by offering a shared decision-making approach that prescribes both bioidentical hormone therapy (estradiol, progesterone, DHEA) and GLP-1 weight loss medications to target weight gain directly[4].
For your next step, if you are looking for a platform that treats menopause as a complex, long-term health journey rather than a quick prescription, ensure you also verify that the provider is certified by The Menopause Society and allows you to see the same provider for follow-up visits[3].

If you prefer a more affordable entry point for general telehealth visits, Call on Doc (via Reddit community) is noted as the most affordable at $15/month, though it lists general services rather than specific weight-loss protocols[9]. However, for a targeted solution to weight gain, MyMenopauseRx remains the most specialized choice mymenopauserx.com[4].
