Medicspot vs SheMed Comparison

Medicspot combines clinically led weight loss treatment with real human support. You’ll get weekly GLP-1 injections (Wegovy or Mounjaro), a dedicated health coach, and a 16-week behaviour change course with nutrition tips built in. Unlike “pen-in-a-box” services, Medicspot offers weekly check-ins, meal feedback, a supportive WhatsApp community, and ongoing clinical monitoring – so it’s not just about losing weight, but building confidence and lasting change.

SheMed takes a women-focused, tech-driven approach to weight loss. It begins with an at-home health screening: you order a blood test kit and send in samples so a clinician can check for any hidden health issues before you start treatment. If the blood test and questionnaire clear you, a UK-licensed clinician can issue a prescription for a GLP-1 injection (typically semaglutide, or sometimes tirzepatide). The medication is then delivered to your home. By screening your blood and monitoring you online, SheMed ensures that the treatment is tailored to your biology before and during use.

Medicspot puts people first. You’ll have your own health coach for one-to-one guidance, weekly check-ins, and habit support. Join a private WhatsApp group for daily motivation, get practical nutrition advice, and benefit from monthly clinical reviews. You can adjust your dose – whether increasing, staying the same, reducing, or tapering down for maintenance – so your treatment stays effective and tailored to you.

Once you reach your goal, Medicspot continues to support you with six months of free coaching to help you maintain your progress and build lasting habits.

SheMed relies mostly on its app and clinical team rather than live coaching. After you start treatment, you log into the SheMed mobile app for weekly check-ins (quick questionnaires about your weight, mood, symptoms). The app provides clinician-written content on diet, exercise, and women’s health, but it does not connect you with other users. There is no live chat group or personal coach conversation. Instead, your progress is tracked digitally.

Both programmes prescribe medication under UK clinical standards.

Medicspot puts safety first. Their clinicians check your NHS Summary Care Record before prescribing, so decisions are made with your full medical history in mind. Once you start, your progress is reviewed monthly to monitor results, manage side effects, and adjust treatment if needed. When the time is right, they also support with tapering or maintenance plans. Plus, with their 5% weight loss guarantee, you’ll get a refund if you don’t see results in the first year. See terms for details.

SheMed adds extra medical screening upfront. Every new member must complete an at-home blood test before starting medication. This blood test screens for things like thyroid issues, liver problems, or nutrient deficiencies that could make GLP-1 injections unsuitable. Only if this blood test comes back normal will a SheMed clinician prescribe treatment. If the blood test or assessment shows you’re not eligible, SheMed will cancel your order and refund your money, so you never pay for treatment you shouldn’t get.

Medicspot keeps you motivated through people, not just apps. Your personal health coach provides one-to-one accountability, while a private WhatsApp group gives you daily encouragement, shared progress, and tips from other members, with coaches stepping in to guide when needed.

SheMed does not offer a peer support group. Motivation is driven by the app and your own discipline. You see your progress week by week (the app shows your weight trend and check-in streaks) and you read the provided health content. Some people find digital trackers motivating, but it can also feel isolating since you don’t interact with other users. SheMed members rely on personal goal-setting and the app nudges – it’s a self-driven approach rather than a social one.

This is where the two differ most.

Medicspot plans start from £99 per month, depending on the medication and dose. For example, Wegovy at the starter dose is £99 for four weeks, while Mounjaro 2.5mg is £149. Higher doses cost more. Their plans include the behaviour change course, nutrition support, dedicated health coach and community access.

SheMed follows a flat price structure. For Wegovy, it is £159 regardless of dose, and for Mounjaro it’s £229. This can make SheMed more expensive for lower doses, but cheaper than some providers for higher doses.

Medicspot is a great fit if you want a more personal, clinician-led experience. You’ll have a named health coach, real people to talk to, and a supportive peer group – all at a lower starting price.

SheMed is a good option for women who want a medically cautious programme. It’s explicitly designed for women and includes routine blood testing, so it appeals to anyone who wants that extra health check built in. If you’re primarily concerned about catching hidden conditions and don’t need live coaching, SheMed’s structured, female-focused plan may suit you.

Both Medicspot and SheMed are UK-regulated, clinically supervised weight loss programmes based on GLP-1 injections. They share many core features: medical oversight by UK-licensed prescribers, use of proven medications (like Wegovy or Mounjaro), and digital convenience (no in-person visits needed). The main difference is style and focus.

Medicspot is more human-centred-– it combines your GLP-1 prescription with a real health coach, an educational course, and a WhatsApp support group. It also tends to start at a lower price. SheMed is more female-focused – it adds an initial at-home blood test and delivers support via an app and clinician team.

Ultimately, both programmes have similar goals (effective weight loss under supervision) and use the same kinds of medications. Your choice will depend on whether you prefer the community and coaching model of Medicspot or the medically screened, women-only approach of SheMed.

Is Medicspot or SheMed cheaper?

Medicspot’s plans generally start lower. For example, Medicspot’s Wegovy programme begins at about £99 per month, whereas SheMed’s costs are £89 for the first month and £159 for every month thereafter.

Which programme offers more personalised support?

Medicspot provides more live coaching and peer support. You get a dedicated health coach, weekly check-ins and a WhatsApp group of fellow members. SheMed’s support is primarily through its app and clinicians (no live peer group). It offers tools and side-effect management, but less one-on-one human interaction.

Do both programmes use the same weight loss injections?

Yes. Both Medicspot and SheMed prescribe GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, sold as Wegovy, or tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro) for eligible patients. The choice of drug and dose will depend on your health profile and what the clinician recommends.

What if I need to stop early – are there refunds?

Medicspot and SheMed have different guarantees. Medicspot guarantees at least a 5% reduction in body weight within the first year; if you don’t reach that goal, they refund your programme fees (subject to their terms). SheMed offers a refund only if the initial health screening (blood test) shows you’re ineligible – in that case, they will cancel your plan and refund your money. There isn’t a standard “money-back” weight loss guarantee beyond that. Always check each provider’s terms for full details.

Is SheMed only for women?

Yes, SheMed is specifically designed for women and focuses on women’s health issues. Medicspot is open to anyone (men or women) who qualifies. SheMed’s female-focused branding and requirements (like tracking menstrual health) mean it’s not offered to men, whereas Medicspot treats both genders.
