Visit Dr. Gillis' Wellness CenterThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 37 (A− vs C). Mothers who want a fixed monthly price, a real clinician rather than an intake quiz, and uninterrupted nationwide access to both semaglutide and tirzepatide while they work out the timing around pregnancy or weaning.
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center is still a genuine option — there is a real clinic behind this one — an address in Oakland, Maine, a phone number, free consultations every Wednesday afternoon. And there is a line on its pricing page that nothing else on this roster comes close to: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide has no FDA approval for anything. It is still in phase 3 trials. There is no labeled dose, no labeled safety profile, and nothing at all about stacking it on top of a drug you are already taking. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A−
What we like
- A single flat monthly rate — no teaser first month that jumps at the first refill
- A prescriber reviews your history and will actually talk through timing if you're postpartum, nursing, or planning another pregnancy
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one chart, so switching molecules doesn't mean switching providers
The caveats
- Not the lowest sticker price — a couple of budget compounders come in under it
- Compounded only; there's no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound lane here
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB or hormone practice
Metabolic-Fit / 100
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center
Ranked #220 · Grade C
What we like
- A physical clinic with a street address, a phone number and a named physician
- Free consultations every Wednesday from 1 to 6 PM, and no contracts
- Prices the injection, the oral form and tirzepatide separately, so you can see which product a figure belongs to
The caveats
- ⛔ It sells retatrutide, an investigational drug with no FDA approval for any use, and sells it as a $100 add-on to a GLP-1 you are already on
- No terms of service, no privacy policy and no telehealth consent exist on the site — twenty-one paths returned nothing
- Coverage is one clinic in Central Maine, so this is only useful if you can reach Oakland
