Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs Gaya Wellness
CoreAge Rx and Gaya Wellness both offer GLP-1 telehealth to mothers, but they make different trade-offs on family-budget value, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Editors' Rating — our six-factor rubric for mothers.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A
Best for: Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.

Ranked #123 · Grade C
Best for: A woman in perimenopause or menopause who wants weight and hormones handled by the same clinician.
Visit Gaya WellnessThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Gaya Wellness on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 57 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Gaya Wellness is still a genuine option — a women's practice that treats weight as a hormone problem — a genuinely different starting point — with a price ladder that rewards reading closely. The $149 tier is "GLP-1 Access": physician oversight, medication not included. Premium at $349 is the one that includes it. Concierge at $549 adds hormone therapy for women whose weight and menopause symptoms need handling together. A named physician, Dr. Patel, runs it from a published Florida address. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Gaya Wellness
Ranked #123 · Grade C
What we like
- Treats weight, metabolism and hormones as one problem rather than prescribing a GLP-1 in isolation
- Publishes all three tiers and what each includes — access, medication, and medication plus hormone therapy
- A named physician, Dr. Patel, with async messaging between visits and quarterly monitoring
The caveats
- The $149 tier does not include medication — it buys oversight and access, and the drug is a separate cost
- $349 for the tier that does include medication is at the premium end of this roster
- The homepage advertises the weight-loss program "From $199/month", matching none of the three tiers
