Temi vs. Healthspan: a longevity protocol or a refill

Medically reviewed by Kevin Brandstetter, M.D.Last reviewed September 28, 2026

Healthspan is a longevity clinic that sells monthly protocols: rapamycin from $64 a month including labs, and a GLP-1 membership from $99 a month with the medication billed separately [3] [4]. Temi sells single acts: $15 to review a refill, or a GLP-1 order priced per vial with no membership required [1] [5].

The core difference

Healthspan manages your health over time; Temi continues or starts one prescription at a time.

Healthspan calls itself "the world's first digital longevity clinic" and runs four programs: longevity optimization, men's hormone health, women's health and GLP-1 longevity care [2]. Care is built on lab work — "70+ Biomarkers" across "9 Biological Systems" — a physician-led protocol, included coaching and medication delivered to your door [2]. A rapamycin protocol starts at $64 a month and bundles labs, medication and clinician oversight with "no separate consultation or membership fee" [3]. The GLP-1 program works differently: "Membership starts at $99 per month", covering up to three lab panels a year, dose management and 1:1 coaching, while "GLP-1 medications are billed separately" [4].

Temi has no program. A physician reviews a refill of a stable maintenance medication for $15 [1]. For weight loss, a compounded semaglutide order is the vial price plus a $39 prescription service, and brand-name options are prescribed at manufacturer self-pay prices [5] [6]. Nothing renews unless you choose the $449-a-year plan [7].

Where the other provider offers more

If you want your health tracked and adjusted rather than a prescription continued, Healthspan does something Temi does not attempt. It measures more than 70 biomarkers across nine systems, then a physician builds and adjusts a protocol from the results [2]. Its GLP-1 membership includes up to three lab panels a year, dose optimization and 1:1 coaching, and it offers Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo as well as non-branded semaglutide at a flat rate regardless of dose [4]. It prescribes longevity treatments Temi does not, such as rapamycin, with labs and monitoring built into a $64 monthly price and no separate consultation fee [3]. Medication arrives at your door, and protocols are HSA and FSA eligible [2] [3]. Customer sentiment is strong: a 4.8 TrustScore from 402 reviews on Trustpilot when we checked [10]. For ongoing, lab-guided care, Healthspan is the more complete service.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Healthspan cost?

It depends on the program. GLP-1 care has a membership that "starts at $99 per month", with medication billed separately [4]. Longevity protocols are priced per treatment: rapamycin from $64 a month, metformin $27 and acarbose $25, with the rapamycin price including labs and oversight [3] [2]. A clinician confirms the exact price after intake [3].

Is Healthspan legit?

It is a physician-led telehealth clinic with published programs and prices [2]. On Trustpilot it held a 4.8 TrustScore from 402 reviews when we checked, with reviewers praising fast, knowledgeable responses and a few citing website problems [10]. Much of what it prescribes for longevity, such as rapamycin, is off-label, which Healthspan itself notes when discussing insurance [3].

Does Healthspan take insurance?

Not in the usual sense. Protocols are HSA and FSA eligible, and Healthspan says rapamycin is "Generally not covered by insurance for off-label longevity use" [3] [2]. Temi is cash-pay for its service too, with "No insurance, no prior authorizations" on GLP-1 orders [6]; your plan can still apply to refill medication at your own pharmacy [1].

Does the Healthspan GLP-1 membership include the medication?

No. Healthspan says "GLP-1 medications are billed separately based on the prescription and pharmacy used", on top of a membership from $99 a month [4]. Temi has no membership requirement: a compounded tirzepatide order, for example, is from $104.99 per 8.5 mg vial plus a $39 prescription service [8]. Compounded products are not FDA-approved.

How much is rapamycin at Healthspan?

Healthspan says rapamycin protocols "start at $64/month" and describes that as "the whole protocol, not just the pills": labs, medication, clinician oversight and dose adjustment, with no separate consultation or membership fee [3]. The final price depends on your dose. Temi does not prescribe rapamycin or other longevity treatments [1].

Can Temi refill metformin that Healthspan prescribed?

Temi refills continuing, non-controlled maintenance medication, including blood-sugar drugs, and does not start new prescriptions through its refill service [1]. Whether a longevity prescription qualifies is a clinical call made on review. A drug that Healthspan is still adjusting against lab results is better left with the clinician managing that protocol.

Do I need lab work to start GLP-1 care at Healthspan?

No. Healthspan says "Labs are not required to start treatment, but are an important part of Healthspan's longevity-focused approach as therapy progresses" [4]. Up to three lab panels a year are included in the membership [4]. Temi's GLP-1 pages do not describe bundled lab testing [6].

What is a Healthspan alternative without a monthly membership?

If you want GLP-1 medication without a recurring fee, Temi prices each order separately: compounded semaglutide from $59.99 per 7.5 mg vial plus $39, or brand-name options at the manufacturer's self-pay price [5] [6]. You give up the coaching, lab tracking and protocol management. Temi's GLP-1 cost calculator shows the monthly arithmetic for your dose.
