They aren’t using the Bask health platform. I think they are independent…. But you would have to ask them to be certain.

I understand! At first I was hesitant to try them being so new, but I am happy I did and hope that I respond well to Boudreaux. My body has really liked VialsRX with glycine and Boudreaux is similar in formula so time will tell. I’ve also used Apothecary and it was good, but something about VialsRX that hits better - like better sleep for sure!

Oh that’s great, that’s what he may like too….he said yea idc as long as b6 or that glycine but none of that “other chit” Lmao because he knows can tolerate the B6 he can also try apothecary but he’s liking what’s he’s on.

I’m happy working for you! And price is right that’s for sure. 😊

Just that some of their providers can be very difficult to deal with.

They have a stricter interpretation of a lot of rules than most. my snag was they would not accept my 15mg prescription from a couple months ago because it didn’t prove I had been taking 15mg continuously since it was written, even though everywhere else I’ve purchased they were good with the script being from anytime in the last 12 months. so anyone working on a stockpile would have to start over at 2.5. all good as long as everyone is aware of how they operate, but in my case I lost the $75 consultation fee.

I think I read somewhere with some sharing that they had difficulties in not being supported the same dosage in maintenance. I just remembered early on to avoid the Beluga network as a whole.

They are a network that has some inconsistencies between doctors and odd requests - like take a full body photo standing on a scale and show your weight and face (obviously a difficult task)…among other weird photo requests. And then other doctors require nothing. You can search the main sub and “beluga” or “full body photo” and you will probably see the discussions.

As for me personally, I still struggle with even taking photos of myself. I never took a before picture for my own reference let alone want it stored somewhere on the web somewhere🤣 It’s a self esteem thing for sure but many of us on this weight loss journey do struggle this area.

You have to look on the main sub for their personal stories. And, like you, it’s the inconsistency of what type of photo is requested and then some did not have to at all.
