New Wave Health review
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.

How we scored New Wave Health
Every factor comes from New Wave Health's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 30/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
How we verified this review
- Last verified
- September 2026
- Confidence
- medium
- Primary source
- mynewwavehealth.com
No price for either molecule anywhere — the only figure is a 'from $149' attached to no named product, with every treatment page printing 'available by consultation'. Thirty days' notice to cancel, the same compiled app as two other brands, and nothing on nursing or PCOS.
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
- Its own answers disagree about whether coverage is Virginia-plus or all fifty states
- The site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands, with the same testimonial photograph
- No postpartum protocol and no PCOS program
New Wave Health for mothers: our verdict
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. New Wave Health publishes no monthly medication price. Its page shows Price not published; only a "from $149" with no product — a fee rather than the cost of treatment, so what you would actually pay is not knowable before you enroll.
We weigh New Wave Health the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a general weight-loss roundup leaves out.
What New Wave Health costs, in full
New Wave Health doesn't post a standard monthly cash price up front — pricing appears after an intake quiz. Get a written quote and confirm the ongoing rate before you commit.
The medications New Wave Health prescribes
New Wave Health prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic). These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where New Wave Health fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters — a move for family shouldn't interrupt care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want frictionless cancellation — read the cancellation and refund terms in the caveats above before you pay.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that is the ground our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built on.
Oversight, safety, and what we could verify
Our confidence is moderate — the core facts check out, but some details (per-state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
New Wave Health is a reasonable option — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: Almost nobody comparing costs today — there is no published price here to compare against anything else.
Alternatives to New Wave Health
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here. These are not the whole roster: see the full ranking for every provider we cover, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.

Head-to-head & alternatives
New Wave Health, answered
- What does semaglutide cost here?
- They do not say. It is not on the homepage, not on any of the three treatment pages and not in the FAQ; all that exists is 'from $149 a month', without naming a product. You would learn the real figure after intake, once your personal and medical details are already submitted — which is exactly the order to avoid while you are still comparing.
- Is this the same as other brands I've seen?
- Technically, yes. It runs the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 telehealth brands: the same application file, the same legal text apart from the company name, and the same testimonial photograph under the same patient name and the same pound count. If you are weighing two of those three, you are looking at one site twice.
- Can I cancel whenever I want?
- It wants thirty days' notice before the next billing cycle, and consultations, visits and filled prescriptions are non-refundable. It is the same clause, word for word, that both of its sibling brands publish — which tells you something about how independent the three really are.
- Does it help with postpartum or PCOS?
- No. Pregnancy and breastfeeding sit on its clinical-exclusion list, which is the right warning to publish, but there is no postpartum protocol, nothing about how long to wait after a delivery and no PCOS program at all.
Pricing, states and verification reflect New Wave Health's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
