CoreAge Rx vs Gaya Wellness
CoreAge Rx and Gaya Wellness both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on speed to first dose, flat pricing, access and molecule choice. Here they are side-by-side on the Rx-Readiness Score — our readiness rubric.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A
Best for: Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
Visit CoreAge RxGaya Wellness
Ranked #189 · Grade C
Best for: A woman in perimenopause who wants weight and hormones managed by one clinician rather than two.
Visit Gaya WellnessThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Gaya Wellness on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 54 (A vs C). Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
Gaya Wellness is still a genuine option — the tier names carry the whole decision. Foundation at $149 is "GLP-1 Access" — physician oversight, medication billed separately. Premium at $349 includes the medication. Concierge at $549 adds hormone therapy for women whose weight and menopause symptoms need managing together. A named physician runs it, Dr. Patel, from a published Florida address, with quarterly monitoring and messaging between visits. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
Gaya Wellness
Ranked #189 · Grade C
What we like
- Treats weight, metabolism and hormones as a single problem
- Publishes all three tiers and what each includes
- A named physician with async messaging between visits and quarterly monitoring
The caveats
- The $149 tier does not include medication — that is a separate cost
- $349 for the tier that does is at the premium end of this roster
- The homepage advertises "From $199/month", matching none of the three tiers
