Visit TOM Weight LossThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TOM Weight Loss on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 59 (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.
TOM Weight Loss is still a genuine option — a small, physician-led practice — Dr. Tran Le personally, capped at ~500 patients — $199/mo semaglutide, $249/mo tirzepatide, all-inclusive, but limited to Texas and Utah only. 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
TOM Weight Loss
Ranked #56 · Grade C
What we like
- Named, credentialed physician (Dr. Tran Le, MD, DABOM) with a published NPI — not a rotating pool
- Deliberately capped at ~500 patients, stated as a differentiator for personal attention
- Flat, all-inclusive pricing for both molecules with no hidden fees
The caveats
- Limited to Texas and Utah only — the narrowest coverage in this round
- No published time-to-first-dose
- No brand-name (FDA-approved) option
