TeleSlim Clinic review
I want to be clear about what the $99 buys, because I read it wrong the first time. It buys the clinic: three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist and even cognitive behavioral therapy, across six states they do list. It does not buy the medication. They write you a prescription and what it costs is nowhere on the site. There is also a menu link reading "Pricing dummy" that somebody forgot to fill in.

How we scored TeleSlim Clinic
Each factor is judged from TeleSlim Clinic's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 52/100 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.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.

Read on 18 August 2026. TeleSlim Clinic is a Chicago practice at 875 North Michigan Avenue with three named physicians, registered dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it says exactly where it works: Illinois, plus telemedicine in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona. The subscription is published in full: $99 a month, $269 for three months, $499 for six and $899 for a year, after a 45-minute first consultation currently $99 rather than $199. The gap is the medication. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" and never says what they cost, so the $99 pays for the team and the drug is a second number nobody publishes. Two further details: a menu item reading "Pricing dummy" is live, and the optional weekly sessions cost extra without saying how much. Ten office addresses appear, all high floors in downtown towers, for a practice that describes itself as all-online — I record that rather than concluding from it. It came back clean in the FDA warning-letter index.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked TeleSlim Clinic's public signup (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the process. We did not create accounts, enter medical information, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient's outcome.
- 1The signup call to action leaves teleslimclinic.com for join.teleslimclinic.com, a separate host
What we noticed
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- Intake is hosted on join.teleslimclinic.com, so the company you fill the form in with is not the domain you started on

- Ten addresses, all high floors in downtown towers, for a clinic that calls itself all-online

TeleSlim Clinic for moms: our verdict
I want to be clear about what the $99 buys, because I read it wrong the first time. It buys the clinic: three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist and even cognitive behavioral therapy, across six states they do list. It does not buy the medication. They write you a prescription and what it costs is nowhere on the site. There is also a menu link reading "Pricing dummy" that somebody forgot to fill in. It runs about $99/mo — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We looked at TeleSlim Clinic 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 TeleSlim Clinic actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Clinic subscription only — the medication is not priced: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Clinic subscription only — the medication is not priced: $99/mo
That lands below the median ongoing price of about $179 across the providers we track for moms — a real cost advantage.
That price covers the consult and coaching.
The medications TeleSlim Clinic prescribes
TeleSlim Clinic 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. TeleSlim Clinic lists its coverage as: Illinois, plus Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona.
Where TeleSlim Clinic fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- the monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- 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 TeleSlim Clinic'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
TeleSlim Clinic is a genuine bargain for the price — 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: A mom in one of those six states who wants a real team and is going to ask what the medication costs before paying anything.

TeleSlim Clinic, answered
- How much does TeleSlim Clinic cost?
- As of our last review, TeleSlim Clinic's compounded pricing starts around $99/mo ($99/mo for the clinic; the medication is priced separately and not published semaglutide, $99/mo for the clinic; the medication is priced separately and not published tirzepatide). Confirm the current all-in price on TeleSlim Clinic's site before you commit.
- Is TeleSlim Clinic 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; TeleSlim Clinic is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning, and talk the timing through with your own clinician.
- Does TeleSlim Clinic offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — TeleSlim Clinic 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 TeleSlim Clinic land in your ranking?
- TeleSlim Clinic scores 52/100 on our Mama-Match Score (rank #199), which weights six things that matter to a first-timer. Our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the ranking — see how they compare.
