Noom Med review
Elena Voss is a mother writing for mothers, not a treating clinician, and holds no medical license. Prices and terms come from the company's own published pages. This is background reading, not medical advice.
The habit-coaching app many moms already have on their phone, now with clinicians and a long medication menu: compounded microdose semaglutide or tirzepatide, full-dose compounded tirzepatide, and brand-name Wegovy, the Wegovy pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Foundayo. The microdose plan is $79 to start, then $179 a month; full-dose tirzepatide is $149 to start, then $299 a month. Both bill on 12-week subscriptions plus tax and include the medication and the app. Brand-name care is $39 to start, then $129 a month, with the medicine paid through insurance or out of pocket. Prices sit in footnotes with different effective dates, the compounded plans skip some states, and no state list is published.

How we scored Noom Med
Every factor comes from Noom Med's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 57/100 Metabolic-Fit Score on our weighted six-factor framework. Commissions don't change a provider's score.
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 best on our list — the review below says exactly where.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
Standard support — enough to stay on track, not high-touch.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
How we checked this review
Compounded microdose semaglutide at $179 a month and full-dose compounded tirzepatide at $299, each after a cheaper first stretch and billed on 12-week subscriptions, with the Noom app included. Brand-name care is $129 a month, with the medication paid separately or through insurance.
Pricing

| Compounded semaglutide | $79 → $179 | Microdose program, 12-week subscriptionFrom $79 plus tax for the first 3-week subscription with 4 weeks of medication, then $179 a month plus tax on a 12-week subscription. Medication and the full Noom app program are included. Noom's footnote says the same microdose program covers tirzepatide and that final pricing depends on the plan chosen. |

What we like
- Compounded and brand-name routes, including the Wegovy pill and Foundayo
- Compounded plans include the medication and the full Noom app
- Works with insurance for brand-name medication
- A gentler microdose option for anyone worried about nausea
- FSA- and HSA-eligible compounded plans
The caveats
- Prices live in footnotes that carry different effective dates
- The $179 plan is a microdose; no full-dose compounded semaglutide price is published
- Plans bill on 12-week subscriptions despite a "cancel anytime" line
- Brand-name care is $129 a month before the medication itself
- Compounded plans are not offered in every state, and no list is published
- Its program pages say nothing about pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
The app you may already have, now with a prescriber
Noom built its name on psychology-based lessons and habit tracking, and Noom Med bolts clinicians and medication onto that same app. You take an intake survey, a clinician reviews it online, and if a prescription fits, the medication ships to you (for most cash plans) and the coaching, tracking and community come along with it. Noom's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeffrey Egler, is named on its pages, and the brand-name route includes a lab step.
A wide medication menu under one login
On the cash side: compounded microdose semaglutide or tirzepatide, and a full-dose compounded tirzepatide plan Noom calls its most powerful program. On the brand side: Wegovy, the Wegovy pill, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Foundayo, generic liraglutide and metformin. That range matters if you expect to switch later, from a pill to a shot, or from cash to insurance when a new plan year starts.
What you'll pay, from Noom's own footnotes
- Microdose plan: from $79 plus tax for the first three weeks (with four weeks of medication), then $179 a month plus tax on a 12-week subscription. Medication and the full app are included.
- Full-dose compounded tirzepatide: from $149 to start, then $299 a month plus tax on a 12-week subscription.
- Brand-name care: $39 to start, then $129 a month for Noom's care. The medication is extra, through insurance or out of pocket. For self-pay Zepbound vials, Noom says prices start at $299 a month through LillyDirect.
- Full-dose compounded semaglutide is on the menu, but no price for it appears on the pages we read.
Two cautions. The footnotes carry different effective dates, and one of Noom's own blog posts still shows an older microdose price, so screenshot the price on the page where you sign up. And the 12-week subscription sits awkwardly next to the words "cancel anytime". Ask when the next charge lands and what happens if you stop in week five.
A microdose is a smaller dose, not a discount
Noom pitches microdosing as a gentler start with fewer side effects. That can suit a mom who can't afford a week of nausea with a toddler at home. It also means the $179 buys less medication than a standard plan. Our microdosing guide for mothers covers what the research does and doesn't show.
What Noom doesn't cover for mothers
Noom's program pages say nothing about pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing. For the injectable brands, discuss breastfeeding benefits and treatment risks with your clinician using the exact product label. For the Wegovy pill and Foundayo, breastfeeding is not recommended. If you're nursing, read our GLP-1s and breastfeeding guide and raise it with the clinician before you choose a route.
The bottom line
Noom Med is strongest for a mom who already likes app-based coaching and wants room to change medication over time, with or without insurance. It's weaker on price clarity and on the 12-week billing. The compounded plans aren't offered in every state, and Noom doesn't publish a list. For a comparison, CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is one place to start.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A mom who likes app-based coaching and psychology-based lessons, and wants her medication and her habit program under one login, with insurance for brand-name care or cash for compounded.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxFeatured partnerCoreAge's officially linked public offer advertises compounded semaglutide at $79/month and tirzepatide at $129/month across doses, with care and overnight shipping included. It describes one-time purchases without a required subscription. Main navigation still shows semaglutide from $99; confirm your prescription quantity and total, and read the refund limits before paying.

The widest menu on our list — injections, sublingual lozenges, daily drops, four brand-name pens and the approved oral GLP-1 — with three compounding pharmacies named, prices published for every plan length, and cancellation terms among the most restrictive we have read.
- Visit RxSpan MD57
Metabolic-Fit / 100
RxSpan MD is a genuinely well-disclosed service wrapped in marketing that undercuts it. The disclosure: four compounding pharmacies named with phone numbers, two lead physicians named with NPI numbers that verify as active MDs, flat pricing posted before any intake, both compounded and real FDA-approved brand GLP-1s on one platform, and oral capsules for anyone who won't inject. Compounded semaglutide is $249 a month and tirzepatide $329, with brand Zepbound at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349. The marketing is the problem. Its testimonials still name a different company — one patient describes what she 'expected from CareGLP' — and the doctors quoted in them are not the clinicians the same page names as its medical team. The homepage is built around a board-certified plastic surgeon who founded the practice but is licensed in California only and isn't the prescriber. Its compounded prices also sit above the typical price we track, and the oral capsules cost the same or more than the injections.

Noom Med, answered
- How much is Noom Med per month?
- It depends on the program. The microdose plan is $79 for the first stretch, then $179 a month. Full-dose compounded tirzepatide is $149 to start, then $299 a month. Both run on 12-week subscriptions, plus tax. For brand-name medication, Noom's care is $39 to start and $129 a month, and the medicine is a separate bill.
- What is a GLP-1 microdose?
- Noom describes it as a smaller dose than its standard plan, meant to be gentler on your stomach. That makes $179 the price of a lower dose. Compare it with other microdose offers, not with full-dose plans elsewhere.
- Does Noom Med take insurance?
- For brand-name medication, yes. Noom says it works to get the most out of your coverage for both the medication and the clinician. The compounded plans are cash, and FSA/HSA-eligible.
- Can I cancel any time?
- Noom's footnote says cancel anytime, yet the plans bill on 12-week subscriptions. Before you pay, ask when the next charge lands and what happens to it if you stop partway through.
- Is Noom Med available in my state?
- Noom says the compounded plans are not available in all 50 states, and it does not publish a list. You'll find out during the intake.
