TeleSlim Clinic review
Ninety-nine dollars a month, and none of it is the drug. What it buys is a Chicago clinical team — three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist, cognitive behavioral therapy — across six states it actually lists, which is more than most of this page manages. The prescription is written and then priced somewhere the site never shows you. The tiers run down to $75 a month on an annual plan; the medication stays outside every one of them.

Every medical claim in this piece is footnoted to the record it came from — the trial or the FDA label — so you can read the source rather than take the masthead's word for it. No one on this desk is your clinician.

How we scored TeleSlim Clinic
Each score comes out of TeleSlim Clinic's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 52/100 Editors' Rating on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.

Verified 18 August 2026. TeleSlim Clinic operates from 875 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago with three named physicians, registered dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it states its coverage precisely: Illinois, with telemedicine in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona. Its subscription is published in full — $99 a month, $269 for three months, $499 for six and $899 for a year, after a 45-minute initial consultation currently $99 against a stated $199. The medication is the gap. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" and never says what they cost, so the subscription buys the clinical team and the drug is a second, unpublished number. Two smaller notes: an item reading "Pricing dummy" is live in the main navigation, and the optional weekly dietitian and exercise follow-ups carry an unstated fee. Ten office addresses are listed, each a high-floor downtown suite, for a practice describing itself as all-online — an observation rather than a conclusion, since nothing on the site says what they are. It screened clean against the live FDA warning-letter index.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked TeleSlim Clinic's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The signup call to action leaves teleslimclinic.com for join.teleslimclinic.com, a separate host
- 2The intake responded HTTP 200 when checked on 2026-08-21
- 3Walked to the intake entry only. No personal information was submitted, so nothing past the entry screen is asserted here
What we noticed
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- Intake is hosted on join.teleslimclinic.com, so the company you fill the form in with is not the domain you started on

GLP-1 telehealth is usually HSA- and FSA-eligible, so check your own plan. Everything above comes from TeleSlim Clinic's public disclosures at last review and change often; confirm the current number on TeleSlim Clinic's own site.
What we like
- Lists its six states by name rather than gesturing at nationwide coverage
- Three named physicians, plus dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Subscription tiers published in full, from $99 monthly to $899 a year
- A 45-minute initial consultation, currently $99 against a stated $199
- A free ten-minute doctor call before any money changes hands
The caveats
- ⛔ The medication has no published price at all, so $99 is a floor with an unknown figure on top
- "Pricing dummy" is live as an item in the site's main menu
- The optional weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra, and that extra is unstated
- Ten downtown-tower suite addresses for a practice that calls itself all-online
- Its newest articles date from 2023
- No compounding pharmacy named
TeleSlim Clinic for mothers: our verdict
Ninety-nine dollars a month, and none of it is the drug. What it buys is a Chicago clinical team — three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist, cognitive behavioral therapy — across six states it actually lists, which is more than most of this page manages. The prescription is written and then priced somewhere the site never shows you. The tiers run down to $75 a month on an annual plan; the medication stays outside every one of them.
We weigh TeleSlim Clinic the way mothers actually have to: not just the real monthly cost, but the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it — the things a generic roundup never gets to.
What TeleSlim Clinic actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
The medications TeleSlim Clinic prescribes
TeleSlim Clinic prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the pair with the strongest evidence behind them, and having both under one account matters when insulin resistance, familiar from PCOS and gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better fit. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where TeleSlim Clinic fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
Worth it if…
- you want a real clinician reading your history around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs, not an auto-approving quiz.
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
Give it a miss if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
Our confidence in TeleSlim Clinic's public facts is high — pricing, pharmacies, and clinical network were verifiable at last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our Editors' Rating methodology.
A standing caveat for mothers: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
TeleSlim Clinic is a reasonable option — weigh it on the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A mother in one of its six states who wants a proper clinical team behind her and will insist on the medication quote before subscribing.
Alternatives to TeleSlim Clinic
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Editors' Rating — highest first. A fee never moves a rating, but it does decide who appears here, so this is not the whole roster: the full ranking lists every provider we cover.
- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The one program on this masthead whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Gala Health
A flat $179 for either molecule and a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option, if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy the marketing never names.
- Visit Sesame
A high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead.

Head-to-head & alternatives
TeleSlim Clinic, answered
- How much does TeleSlim Clinic cost?
- TeleSlim Clinic doesn't post a standard monthly cash price — pricing depends on insurance or appears after an intake. Get a written quote and confirm the ongoing rate before committing.
- Is TeleSlim Clinic safe to use while breastfeeding?
- No GLP-1 has been shown to be safe in pregnancy or while nursing, whether compounded or brand-name, and the labeling advises against it. That applies to TeleSlim Clinic as much as to anyone else. Time it for after weaning, and make the decision with your own clinician.
- Does TeleSlim Clinic offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — TeleSlim Clinic offers both molecules. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often preferred where insulin resistance drives weight, which matters for PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does TeleSlim Clinic rank for mothers?
- TeleSlim Clinic takes 52/100 in our Editors' Rating, placing it #173. Six factors chosen for mothers feed that number, and CoreAge Rx is the one at the top of the list — see how they compare.
Pricing, states and verification reflect TeleSlim Clinic's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
