Gaya Wellness review
This one treats weight as a hormone problem, and if you are anywhere near perimenopause that is a completely different conversation from the rest of this page. But read the tiers slowly. The $149 one is "GLP-1 Access": the physician, not the medication. The $349 one includes it. The $549 one adds hormone therapy for women whose weight and symptoms have to be handled together. There is a named physician, Dr. Patel, and a real Florida address.

How we scored Gaya Wellness
Each factor is judged from Gaya Wellness's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 57/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.
The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.
Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.
Standard support — enough to keep your rhythm, but not personalized.

Read from Gaya Wellness's own pages in August 2026. It is a women's practice treating weight and hormones together, with three published tiers: Foundation at $149 a month for physician-guided GLP-1 access and metabolic oversight — which does NOT include the medication — Premium at $349 with the medication included, and Concierge at $549 adding hormone therapy. The homepage separately advertises the weight-loss program "From $199/month", a figure matching none of the three. A named physician, Dr. Patel, provides messaging between visits, with quarterly monitoring, monthly reviews and nutrition and behavioral support as part of the program. It accepts HSA and FSA and publishes no state list.

What we like
- Treats weight, metabolism and hormones as one problem instead of handing you a GLP-1 and stopping there
- Publishes all three tiers and what each one includes
- A named physician, Dr. Patel, with messaging between visits and quarterly monitoring
- Nutrition and behavioral support are part of the program, not an add-on
- Accepts HSA and FSA, and gives a real Winter Garden, Florida address
The caveats
- The $149 tier does not include the medication: it pays the physician, and the drug is separate
- The $349 of the tier that does include it is at the expensive end of the roster
- The homepage advertises the weight-loss program "From $199/month", a figure matching none of the three tiers
- It publishes no state list for the virtual side
- It names no compounding pharmacy, only "access to compounding pharmacy network"
- A one-off focused visit outside the programs costs $299 for thirty minutes
Gaya Wellness for moms: our verdict
This one treats weight as a hormone problem, and if you are anywhere near perimenopause that is a completely different conversation from the rest of this page. But read the tiers slowly. The $149 one is "GLP-1 Access": the physician, not the medication. The $349 one includes it. The $549 one adds hormone therapy for women whose weight and symptoms have to be handled together. There is a named physician, Dr. Patel, and a real Florida address. It runs about $349/mo — pricier than the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We looked at Gaya Wellness the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What Gaya Wellness actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Premium — medication included: $349/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Premium — medication included: $349/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Foundation — access only, medication NOT included: $149/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Concierge — medication plus hormone therapy: $549/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price on our list is around $179/mo, so Gaya Wellness sits at the pricier end.
That price covers the consult, the medication and coaching.
The medications Gaya Wellness prescribes
Gaya Wellness prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss results, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better fit. These are compounded formulas from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays low — but compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where it operates. Gaya Wellness lists its coverage as: Not published; a Winter Garden, Florida practice with virtual care.
Where Gaya Wellness fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you may need to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen with its own pregnancy and breastfeeding label.
- you'd rather have a clinician talk the timing through with you, with the right timing around pregnancy and nursing in mind — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety and oversight
Our confidence in Gaya Wellness's public data is high — the pricing, the pharmacies and the clinical network were all verifiable at our last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.
A standing caution for moms: GLP-1 medications are not proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. None of this changes that — plan the timing with your own healthcare provider.
The bottom line
Gaya Wellness is a reasonable option — weigh it on the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start against the alternatives below. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the best choice overall — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line
Best for: If you are in perimenopause or menopause and want one practice handling both the weight and the hormones.

Gaya Wellness, answered
- How much does Gaya Wellness cost?
- As of our last review, Gaya Wellness's compounded pricing starts around $349/mo ($349/mo on the tier that includes the medication semaglutide, $349/mo on the tier that includes the medication tirzepatide). Confirm the current all-in price on Gaya Wellness's site before you commit.
- Is Gaya Wellness safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Here is the honest answer: no GLP-1 — compounded or brand-name — is established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use; Gaya Wellness is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning, and talk the timing through with your own clinician.
- Does Gaya Wellness offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Gaya Wellness offers both. Tirzepatide's dual action is often preferred when insulin resistance is driving the weight, which matters with PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does Gaya Wellness land in your ranking?
- Gaya Wellness scores 57/100 on our Mama-Match Score (rank #136), which weights six things that matter to a first-timer. Our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the ranking — see how they compare.
