Metabolic-Fit / 100
Nu Image Medical review
One of the network's longer-established telehealth operators (since 2008) — as low as $99/mo semaglutide, $269/mo tirzepatide — though state coverage isn't itemized and no content addresses postpartum or PCOS. Its menu extends well beyond GLP-1s into ED treatment, testosterone, hormone optimization, and hair regrowth, all on the same account.

How we scored Nu Image Medical
Every factor comes from Nu Image Medical's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 44/100 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.

$99 for semaglutide and $269 for tirzepatide, both framed as 'as low as' rather than as rates. Nu Image describes itself as trusted nationwide, but that is marketing language rather than a list — no state-coverage page appears on the pages checked, so availability stays unconfirmed until you apply.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Nu Image Medical's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Homepage lists 'As low as $X/mo' starting prices for semaglutide and tirzepatide directly, before intake
- 2Operating since 2008 — branded 'OG since 2008, Pioneering telehealth' — one of the longer operating histories in this batch
- 3Claims over 1,000,000 patient encounters and a 4.9/5 rating from 30,000+ verified patients
- 4Also offers a broad menu beyond GLP-1s: ED treatment, testosterone, hormone optimization, hair regrowth
What we noticed
- Longer operating history (since 2008) than most providers in this round, which predate the recent GLP-1 telehealth wave
- 'As low as' framing means the exact price at a working dose isn't guaranteed by the homepage number
- No state-coverage list published on the pages checked, despite 'trusted nationwide' marketing language
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum care, or PCOS

What we like
- Operating since 2008 — a longer track record than most providers in this round
- Claims over 1,000,000 patient encounters and a 4.9/5 rating from 30,000+ verified patients
- Broad treatment menu beyond GLP-1s on the same platform (ED, testosterone, hair)
- Both molecules available as injections with real starting prices
The caveats
- No mention anywhere of pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum care, or PCOS
- Both prices are framed as 'As low as' — the exact cost at a working dose isn't guaranteed
- No itemized state-coverage list published, only 'trusted nationwide' marketing language
- No named compounding pharmacy or medical director found on the pages checked
Nu Image Medical for mothers: our verdict
One of the network's longer-established telehealth operators (since 2008) — as low as $99/mo semaglutide, $269/mo tirzepatide — though state coverage isn't itemized and no content addresses postpartum or PCOS. Its menu extends well beyond GLP-1s into ED treatment, testosterone, hormone optimization, and hair regrowth, all on the same account. It runs about $99/month — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh Nu Image Medical 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 Nu Image Medical costs, in full
- Compounded semaglutide — Starting price: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Starting price: $269/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for mothers — a real cost advantage.
Nu Image Medical says the price covers the provider visit, the medication and shipping. That is the comparison that matters at this price: two providers a few dollars apart can differ by a hundred a month once the extras are counted, so line up what each one bundles before you decide.
The medications Nu Image Medical prescribes
Nu Image Medical prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the largest published weight-loss effects, and carrying both on one account matters when insulin resistance, common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. 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 Nu Image Medical fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- the monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide may become necessary as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- 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
Nu Image Medical is a genuine value play — 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: Mothers who want a longer operating track record behind the program and are comfortable confirming both the real working-dose price and their state eligibility at intake.

- 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.
