Choose Synchronous video consult

Synchronous video consult is the universal oMeds standard across every optimization pathway.

Choose Asynchronous review

Asynchronous review is not used at oMeds — it compresses clinical depth below the safety bar for hormone, metabolic, and peptide therapy.

Educational. Final pathway selection is provider-reviewed via synchronous video consultation against your biomarkers, history, and goals.

Frequently asked

Why does oMeds require synchronous?

Live provider interaction supports safety, dialogue, and personalized optimization.

Is asynchronous ever appropriate?

For narrow, low-risk scopes — not for hormone, GLP-1, or peptide initiation.

Take the optimization assessment.

The adaptive assessment maps your symptoms, history, and goals to candidate pathways — and routes you into provider review.
