Visit Gaya WellnessThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Gaya Wellness on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 56 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Gaya Wellness is still a genuine option — this one treats weight as a hormone problem, which if you're anywhere near perimenopause is a completely different conversation from the rest of this page. Read the tiers carefully though. The $149 one is "GLP-1 Access" — that's the doctor, not the medicine. $349 is the one where the medicine is included. $549 adds hormone therapy for women whose weight and symptoms need handling together. There's a named physician, Dr. Patel, and a real Florida address. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Advertised $79 semaglutide and $129 tirzepatide monthly prices stay the same at every listed dose
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Gaya Wellness
Ranked #198 · Grade C
What we like
- Treats weight, metabolism and hormones as one thing instead of handing you a GLP-1 on its own
- Publishes all three tiers and what each one actually includes
- A named physician, Dr. Patel, with messaging between visits and quarterly monitoring
The caveats
- The $149 tier doesn't include the medication — it buys the doctor, and the drug costs extra
- $349 for the tier that does include it is at the expensive end
- The homepage says the weight-loss program is "From $199/month", which matches none of the three tiers
