Gaya Wellness runs three tiers and only the upper two include drugs: $149/mo buys GLP-1 access with no medication attached, $349/mo adds the compounded medication, and $549/mo puts GLP-1 together with HRT. Board-certified physicians write compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, backed by a lab panel of 50+ biomarkers, weekly asynchronous check-ins and payment that qualifies for HSA/FSA. The practice is virtual and OB/GYN-led, aimed at women 40+. You must be 18-64 with a BMI of 30+, or 27+ carrying a metabolic condition. Licenses cover FL, NC, VA, IN and TN.

How Gaya Wellness scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Gaya Wellness has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

3.1/10

$349/month is 31% above the register median of $267 for compounded tirzepatide.

Effectiveness25%

10.0/10

Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

User Experience15%

2.0/10

On the seller's own pages, no price appears until the medical intake is finished; a live video visit is required, which is slower but is the more careful intake; baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription.

Trust & Safety15%

6.0/10

does not name a dispensing pharmacy; withholds price until after the intake; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is high.

Accessibility10%

  • Checked state coverage: 5 states
  • Established what the monthly figure covers, and what it leaves out

Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below. Editorial confidence in this data: high.

What signing up with Gaya Wellness involves

Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.

  1. 1Gaya Wellness does not show a price until you have worked through its medical questionnaire. Budget for the fact that you cannot compare it against anything until you have handed over health information.
  2. 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician and baseline bloodwork, which is more than most of the register asks and slower to complete.
  3. 3Gaya Wellness does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
  4. 4The monthly price is recorded as covering medication, consult, labs, coaching.
Price shown only after intakeLive video visit requiredBaseline labs required
  • Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $349, tirzepatide $349. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
  • Coverage is published for 5 of 50 states.
  • The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

In its favor

  • The monthly figure covers medication, consult, labs, coaching
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
  • A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
  • Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription

Against it

  • Semaglutide at $349 a month, 85% above the $189 register median for the same drug and form
  • No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
  • Coverage is published for 5 states only, so this may not reach you
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
  • Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

What Gaya Wellness charges

Gaya Wellness lists $349/month. That sits above the middle of the market, which puts the burden on whatever else is in the package.

  • Compounded semaglutide — $349/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide — $349/month

The median standing price across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before accepting it.

MangoRx dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $299/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.

What Gaya Wellness dispenses

Gaya Wellness prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product — the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality.

What we could verify

On the record: it operates in 5 states and coaching is included rather than sold on top. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You are optimizing for the twelve-month total rather than the first bill — a flat-rate seller such as CoreAge Rx will usually win that arithmetic.
  • You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Nothing here is the approved finished product.
  • You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.

It fits if

  • you want coaching bundled rather than metered

Our read

Gaya Wellness costs more than the middle of this market. If the extras it charges for are ones you would actually use, that is a defensible trade. If not, the same molecule is available for less.

The Bottom Line

Gaya Wellness's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where Gaya Wellness is the wrong choice

No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.

  • If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Found.
  • If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Telos Rx (from $99/mo).
  • If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Oak.
