Pricing
CoreAge Rx
Re-verified 2026-08-05: homepage + Preventive Longevity section both show "Semaglutide — Starting at $99/mo", "Same price at every dose"; supersedes stale tiered pricing captured 2026-06-05.

Fridays
The month-to-month rate, stated on /weight-loss as 'Starting at $150/mo ($249/mo for month-to-month plan)'. ⚠ FRIDAYS' TWO PAGES DISAGREE: /pricing simultaneously advertises 'Starting at $117/mo' with '$279/mo with an annual plan' and 'SAVE 58% use code NYNY12', while /weight-loss puts the plan rate at $150. The $117 recorded as the promo is COUPON-GATED, not a standing rate, and the two pages cannot both be right about the annual figure ($150 vs $279).
Month-to-month rate from /weight-loss: 'Starting at $240/mo ($359/mo for month-to-month plan)'. The $198 promo is coupon-gated — /pricing shows 'Starting at $198/mo', '$389/mo with an annual plan', 'SAVE 50% use code NEWYOU12'. Same cross-page conflict as the semaglutide row.
'Ozempic® | Name Brand Semaglutide Injection | $1498 / mo'. Brand cash price, no insurance.
'Zepbound® | Name Brand Tirzepatide Injection | $1828 / mo'. Brand cash price, no insurance.

Telehealth weight-loss provider selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside brand Ozempic and Zepbound. Month-to-month is $249 and $359; the far lower figures it advertises are coupon-gated or require an annual commitment, and its own two pricing pages disagree about what that annual rate is.
