CoreAge Rx

What we like

  • Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
  • Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
  • Available in all 50 states
  • Straightforward, low-friction cancellation

The caveats

  • Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
  • No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
  • Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner

Genesis Lifestyle Medicine

What we like

  • 18 physical clinics allow in-person consults and injections across 8 states
  • Dual modality — compounded sema/tirz plus brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound on one platform
  • Med spa model lets patients combine weight loss, hormone therapy, and aesthetics
  • Established brand with an 18-location footprint and patient testimonials
  • Telehealth available for remote patients in served states

The caveats

  • Pricing not disclosed publicly — gated behind the consultation flow
  • Specific 503A/503B pharmacy partner not named, and the designation not specified
  • No FDA compounded-medication disclaimer visible on the homepage
  • Named medical director not formally disclosed (only a 'Dr. Spinoso' testimonial)
  • Corporate legal entity and governing law not disclosed
