Visit New Wave HealthThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out New Wave Health on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 30 (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.
New Wave Health is still a genuine option — it names compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and a microdose, and prices none of them. The only figure on the site is a “from $149 a month” attached to no named product, and every treatment page prints “available by consultation” where the number would go. Nothing here addresses nursing, postpartum timing or PCOS. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

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
New Wave Health
Ranked #298 · Grade C
What we like
- Names its operating company, New Wave Health LLC, and where it is based
- Offers a lower-dose microdose alongside the two usual molecules
- Names pregnancy and breastfeeding on its clinical-exclusion list
The caveats
- Publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere on the site
- Its only figure, "from $149", is attached to no named product
- Cancellation wants thirty days' notice and anything already begun is non-refundable
