How I scored NewSelf
Every factor here comes from NewSelf's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 69/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
A manageable start, with some friction worth planning around.
Fair, once you've read past the plan structure or an intro rate.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
Scores high: where you live is unlikely to be the obstacle.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

⛔ Added 26 August 2026: NewSelf Limited dba NewSelf holds FDA warning letter #721472, dated 20 February 2026. A screen of the WHOLE roster against the live FDA index turned it up — not a brand-name search — and we confirmed it by reading the letter, which names newself.com. This review had been published for months without mentioning it. A letter discloses; it does not disqualify, and nothing about the ranking changed. $99.97 and $144.49, flat regardless of dose, all fifty states. The catch isn't the price, it's the term — three months up front, with no real month-to-month option.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked NewSelf's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Homepage lists a real flat price for both molecules directly ('As Low As $99.97' semaglutide, '$144.49' tirzepatide), no intake required to see the numbers
- 2States 'Access board-certified doctors in all 50 states' and 'Get 3 months upfront — no delays, no refill hassles'
- 3Publishes its own competitor comparison chart naming several rivals' pricing and membership fees
- 4Claims 'signup to treatment in as little as 4 days' and '1000+ physicians'
What I noticed
- Flat, dose-independent pricing is stated explicitly and repeatedly for both molecules — 'One Price. Any Dose. Others charge more for higher doses — we don't'
- Requires 3 months upfront, which is a real commitment even though the per-month price is flat
- No named compounding pharmacy or medical director found on the pages checked
- No published statement on whether a video visit is required
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $99.97 | Semaglutide+, all dosages same priceIncludes B12 and glycine additives. 'All dosages are the same price' — no escalation as dose increases. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $144.49 | Tirzepatide+, all dosages same priceIncludes B6 and glycine additives. 'All dosages are the same price' — no escalation as dose increases. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what NewSelf's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on NewSelf's own site.
What I like
- Explicitly flat, dose-independent pricing for both molecules — a real differentiator most competitors don't offer
- Nationwide (all 50 states)
- Fast: signup to treatment in as little as 4 days, per the site
- Publishes its own named competitor-comparison pricing chart
The caveats
- ⛔ FDA warning letter #721472, dated February 20, 2026, to NewSelf Limited dba NewSelf, for false or misleading claims and misbranding — the letter names its own site
- Requires 3 months upfront rather than a true month-to-month option
- No named compounding pharmacy or medical director found on the pages checked
- No brand-name (FDA-approved) option and no oral form
- No published statement on whether a video visit is required
What I actually think of NewSelf
⛔ FDA warning letter #721472 (Feb. 2026), which names newself.com. A flat, dose-independent price for both molecules — $99.97/mo semaglutide, $144.49/mo tirzepatide, same price at every dose — nationwide, though it requires 3 months upfront. It runs about $99.97/month, and it's flat at every dose — toward the cheaper end of what I walked.
I look at NewSelf 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 NewSelf really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Semaglutide+, all dosages same price: $99.97/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Tirzepatide+, all dosages same price: $144.49/mo
That's under the roughly $179 median I found across the providers I walked — real money back in the grocery budget.
Which meds NewSelf prescribes
NewSelf 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 NewSelf is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
- staying covered no matter where you are matters — a move for family shouldn't blow up your care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- a clean regulatory record is a dealbreaker — read the FDA warning I flagged in the caveats above first.
- 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?
My confidence is middling — the core facts hold up, but some details (per-state availability, how the program really runs) aren't fully public. And it's carrying an FDA warning letter, which I flagged in the caveats — read that before you start. 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?
NewSelf is a genuine budget play — 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: Moms who want a genuinely flat price that never climbs as their dose increases, and are comfortable prepaying 3 months.
If NewSelf 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
NewSelf, answered
- How much does NewSelf cost?
- As I last checked, NewSelf's pricing starts around $99.97/month ($99.97/mo semaglutide, $144.49/mo tirzepatide). Confirm the current, all-in number on NewSelf's own site before you commit — these move.
- Is NewSelf 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. NewSelf 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 NewSelf have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — NewSelf 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 NewSelf land on your list?
- NewSelf scores 69/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #67), 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 NewSelf'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.
