CoreAge Rx vs Livea
CoreAge Rx and Livea both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Metabolic-Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.

Visit LiveaThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Livea on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 46 (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.
Livea is still a genuine option — livea is one of the few names here with a history that predates the GLP-1 boom — it operates as Livea Medical, PLLC under Minnesota Weight Control, Inc., a weight-management business rather than a telehealth startup. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99 a month and tirzepatide at $199 "when available", a qualification most sellers leave out. It also does something unusual in its own FAQ: it puts its price next to the brand-name alternative, "compared to $1,000+ per month for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy". 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
Livea
Ranked #138 · Grade C
What we like
- Operates as a named medical entity, Livea Medical, PLLC, under an established weight-control company rather than a bare LLC
- $99 a month for compounded semaglutide is well below this roster's median
- Says "when available" about tirzepatide instead of implying continuous supply
The caveats
- Both prices are "starting at", so dose may move them
- Tirzepatide availability is explicitly conditional, so the $199 may not be obtainable when you need it
- No list of states served is published
