Gaya Wellness review
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.

How I scored Gaya Wellness
Every factor here comes from Gaya Wellness's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 56/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Covers what most moms need, if not every option.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.

Read from Gaya Wellness's own pages in August 2026. It is a women's practice that treats weight and hormones together, with three published tiers: Foundation at $149 a month for physician-guided GLP-1 access and metabolic oversight — which does not include the medication — Premium at $349 with the medication included, and Concierge at $549 adding hormone therapy. The homepage separately advertises the weight-loss program "From $199/month", a figure matching none of the three. A named physician, Dr. Patel, provides async messaging between visits, with quarterly monitoring, monthly check-ins, nutrition coaching and behavioral support named as part of the program. HSA and FSA are accepted, and no list of states is published.

HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Gaya Wellness's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Gaya Wellness's own site.
What I 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
- Nutrition coaching and behavioral support are part of the program, not an upsell
- HSA and FSA accepted, and a real Winter Garden, Florida address
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
- No list of states for the virtual side
- No compounding pharmacy named, just "access to compounding pharmacy network"
- A one-off focused visit is $299 for thirty minutes
What I actually think of Gaya Wellness
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. It runs about $349/month — pricier than most, so the extras have to earn it.
I look at Gaya Wellness the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Gaya Wellness really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Premium — medication included: $349/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Premium — medication included: $349/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Foundation — access only, medication NOT included: $149/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Concierge — medication plus hormone therapy: $549/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price across my shortlist is around $179/month, so Gaya Wellness sits at the pricey end.
Which meds Gaya Wellness prescribes
Gaya Wellness prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
Who Gaya Wellness is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on Gaya Wellness — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
A standing caveat, because I'm a mom writing this and not your doctor: GLP-1 meds aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against it. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
Gaya Wellness is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: If you're in perimenopause or menopause and want one clinician handling both the weight and the hormones.
If Gaya Wellness isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Gaya Wellness, answered
- How much does Gaya Wellness cost?
- As I last checked, Gaya Wellness's pricing starts around $349/month ($349/mo on the tier that includes medication semaglutide, $349/mo on the tier that includes medication tirzepatide). Confirm the current, all-in number on Gaya Wellness's own site before you commit — these move.
- Is Gaya Wellness okay to use while I'm breastfeeding?
- No — and that's true of every GLP-1, compounded or brand: none is established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. Gaya Wellness is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning and talk the timing through with your own clinician. I'm a mom, not a doctor.
- Does Gaya Wellness have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Gaya Wellness offers both. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often the one clinicians reach for when insulin resistance drives weight, which matters if you've got PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes.
- Where does Gaya Wellness land on your list?
- Gaya Wellness scores 56/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #183), which weights the six things that actually matter when you're doing this around kids. My #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the list — worth seeing how they stack up.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Gaya Wellness's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
