    Continuum had me on compounded semaglutide within nine days. The weekly coaching pods keep me accountable without feeling overwhelming.

    Labs were easy with the at-home kit and my coach helped me plan for travel days. Shipping took about two weeks during a shortage but the concierge kept me updated.

    Overall experience

    I switched from another provider because I wanted more coaching. Continuum's hybrid habit sessions and therapist access made the difference for me.
