TeleSlim Clinic review
I want to be clear about what the $99 gets you, because it is easy to misread. It is the clinic — three named doctors, dietitians, an exercise physiologist, even cognitive behavioral therapy — across six states they actually name. It is not the medicine. They will write you a prescription and what it costs is nowhere on the site. There is also a menu item that says "Pricing dummy", which somebody forgot to fill in.

How I scored TeleSlim Clinic
Every factor here comes from TeleSlim Clinic's own pricing and its disclosures, and the six add up to the 52/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider. Some providers are partners, and we may be paid if you sign up through our links.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
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.
How I verified this review
- Confidence
- high
- Primary source
- TeleSlim Clinic's website
TeleSlim Clinic is a Chicago practice at 875 North Michigan Avenue with three named doctors, registered dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it says exactly where it works: Illinois, plus telemedicine in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona. The subscription is published in full — $99 a month, $269 for three months, $499 for six, $899 for a year, after a 45-minute first visit currently $99 instead of $199. The medicine is the hole. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" and never says what they cost, so the $99 buys the team and the drug is a second number nobody publishes. Two smaller things: a menu item reading "Pricing dummy" is live on the site, and the optional weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra without saying how much. Ten office addresses are listed, all high-floor downtown suites, for a practice that calls itself all-online. There's no FDA warning letter on record for it.
Before you sign up
I opened TeleSlim Clinic's signup and stopped at the first screen that asked for personal details, so I can't tell you what comes after it. Here's what's worth knowing before you start.
Worth knowing
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- The intake form sits on a separate site, not the one you started on
Pricing
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $99 | Clinic subscription only — medication not priced$99/month buys the physician, the plan and the support team. The medication is prescribed separately and its cost is published nowhere on the site. Longer commitments: $269 for 3 months, $499 for 6, $899 for a year. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $99 | Clinic subscription only — medication not pricedThe same subscription. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" without pricing either. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what TeleSlim Clinic's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on TeleSlim Clinic's own site.
What I like
- They name the six states instead of waving at "nationwide"
- Three named doctors, plus dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Every subscription tier is published — $99 a month down to $899 for a year
- The first visit is a full 45 minutes, currently $99 instead of $199
- You can have a free ten-minute call with a doctor before paying anything
The caveats
- The medicine has no price anywhere, so $99 is the start and not the total
- There is a menu item that reads "Pricing dummy" on the site
- The weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra and nobody says how much
- Ten addresses, every one a high floor in a downtown tower, for a clinic that calls itself all-online
- The newest articles are from 2023
- No pharmacy is named
What I actually think of TeleSlim Clinic
I want to be clear about what the $99 gets you, because it is easy to misread. It is the clinic — three named doctors, dietitians, an exercise physiologist, even cognitive behavioral therapy — across six states they actually name. It is not the medicine. They will write you a prescription and what it costs is nowhere on the site. There is also a menu item that says "Pricing dummy", which somebody forgot to fill in.
I look at TeleSlim Clinic 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 TeleSlim Clinic really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
Which meds TeleSlim Clinic prescribes
TeleSlim Clinic prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. They work differently; a clinician should assess the indication, medical history, contraindications and practical access before choosing between them. Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products like Wegovy and Zepbound. Ask who dispenses the prescription and why a compounded formulation is appropriate for your situation.
Who TeleSlim Clinic 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 want to compare another option before deciding — review the published terms and support offered by CoreAge Rx, our featured partner, alongside this provider.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on TeleSlim Clinic — 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.
Pregnancy plans and breastfeeding need a product-specific discussion with your prescriber. Lactation guidance differs by medicine and formulation; limited milk-transfer studies do not establish long-term safety for every infant. See the breastfeeding evidence guide and plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
TeleSlim Clinic is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. If you want a second option, CoreAge Rx is our featured partner — you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: A mom in one of their six states who wants a real team, and who is going to ask what the medicine costs before she pays anything.

Confirm the selected total, renewal charge and prescribed dose before paying. It is operated by Dynamo Group LLC under licensed Bodybuilding Health+'s website branding, and its terms make prescription sales final. It remains compounded-only, with no FDA-approved Wegovy or Zepbound route.

Head-to-head & alternatives
TeleSlim Clinic, answered
- How much does TeleSlim Clinic cost?
- As I last checked, TeleSlim Clinic listed semaglutide at $99/mo for the clinic; medication priced separately and not published and tirzepatide at $99/mo for the clinic; medication priced separately and not published. Confirm the full charge, supply length and billing interval on TeleSlim Clinic's own site before you commit — these move.
- Is TeleSlim Clinic okay to use while I'm breastfeeding?
- Breastfeeding advice depends on the exact medication and formulation. Breastfeeding is not recommended during oral semaglutide treatment; injected semaglutide and tirzepatide labeling calls for weighing clinical need, breastfeeding benefits and possible infant effects. Limited milk-transfer findings do not establish infant safety. Discuss the product offered by TeleSlim Clinic, your baby's age and feeding pattern with your prescriber and pediatrician before deciding.
- Does TeleSlim Clinic have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Public information lists tirzepatide from TeleSlim Clinic; confirm whether semaglutide is also currently available and which formulations are offered. Medication choice needs an individual clinical assessment, including your medical history and treatment goals.
- Where does TeleSlim Clinic land on your list?
- TeleSlim Clinic scores 52/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #256), which weights the six things that actually matter when you're doing this around kids. CoreAge Rx, our featured partner, is worth a look side by side.
Pricing, states and verification reflect TeleSlim Clinic'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.
