Episode Description
If you’ve ever stood at the pharmacy counter shocked by the price of your medication, this episode is for you. From daily thyroid prescriptions to high-demand weight-loss drugs like GLP-1s, drug costs can feel unpredictable—and unfair.
In this episode, we break down the new wave of “cheaper prescription” options promising to change the game.
We take a closer look at Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs, Amazon Pharmacy and RxPass, and the new Trump Rx pricing initiative—what they offer, how they work, and whether they actually save money on common thyroid medications and weight-loss drugs, as well as other prescription medications.
We’ll explain which prescriptions are most likely to benefit, where the fine print matters, and why some meds are still frustratingly expensive despite all the headlines.
Whether you’re managing hypothyroidism, exploring medical weight loss, or paying cash for prescriptions, this episode helps you cut through the noise.
🎧 Tune in for clear, practical guidance on comparing pharmacy options, lowering out-of-pocket costs, and making smarter choices for your long-term health—without the sticker shock!
