Gaya Wellness
What we like
- OB/GYN-led care designed for women 40+ and menopause overlap
- Includes a 50+ biomarker lab panel and weekly physician check-ins
- HSA/FSA eligible with a GLP-1 plus bioidentical HRT bundle option
- Transparent tiered pricing published online
Watch-outs
- Weight loss is one vertical alongside menopause and hormone care
- Medication-included tiers ($349+/mo) are pricier than many compounders
- Available in only five states (FL, NC, VA, IN, TN)
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
