TeleSlim Clinic review
The $99 a month buys the doctor, not the drug. This is a Chicago practice with three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it publishes exactly which six states it serves — both rare on this page. What it does not publish, anywhere, is what the medication costs. The subscription tiers run from $99 a month down to $75 on an annual plan, and the prescription sits outside all of them.

How we scored TeleSlim Clinic
Every factor comes from TeleSlim Clinic's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 53/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

Read on 18 August 2026. TeleSlim Clinic is a Chicago practice at 875 North Michigan Avenue with three named physicians, registered dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it publishes its coverage precisely: Illinois, plus telemedicine in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona. Its subscription is published too — $99 a month, $269 for three months, $499 for six, $899 for a year, after an initial 45-minute consultation currently priced at $99 against a stated $199. What no page publishes is the cost of the medication. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" and stops there, so the $99 buys the clinical team and the prescription is a second, unknown number. Two smaller things: a placeholder reading "Pricing dummy" is live in the main navigation, and the optional weekly dietitian and exercise follow-ups carry an unstated additional fee. Ten office addresses are listed, all high-floor downtown suites, for a practice that describes itself as all-online — recorded as an observation, since nothing on the site settles what they are. It has no FDA warning letter.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked TeleSlim Clinic'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.
- 1The signup call to action leaves teleslimclinic.com for join.teleslimclinic.com, a separate host
What we noticed
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- Intake is hosted on join.teleslimclinic.com, so the company you fill the form in with is not the domain you started on

The caveats

- A placeholder reading "Pricing dummy" is live in the site's main navigation
- Weekly dietitian and exercise follow-ups cost extra, and that fee is not stated either
- Ten office addresses are listed, every one a high-floor downtown suite, for a practice that calls itself all-online
- Its most recent articles are dated 2023
- No compounding pharmacy is named
TeleSlim Clinic for mothers: our verdict
The $99 a month buys the doctor, not the drug. This is a Chicago practice with three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it publishes exactly which six states it serves — both rare on this page. What it does not publish, anywhere, is what the medication costs. The subscription tiers run from $99 a month down to $75 on an annual plan, and the prescription sits outside all of them. TeleSlim Clinic publishes no monthly medication price. Its page shows $99/mo for the clinic; medication priced separately and not published — a fee rather than the cost of treatment, so what you would actually pay is not knowable before you enroll.
We weigh TeleSlim Clinic 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 TeleSlim Clinic costs, in full
- Compounded semaglutide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
The medications TeleSlim Clinic prescribes
TeleSlim Clinic 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 TeleSlim Clinic fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- 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
Everything TeleSlim Clinic states publicly checked out at last review: pricing, pharmacies and clinical network were all verifiable. 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.
A standing caveat for mothers: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
TeleSlim Clinic 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: A mother in one of its six states who wants a real clinical team and will get the medication quote before she subscribes.
Alternatives to TeleSlim Clinic
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
TeleSlim Clinic, answered
- How much does TeleSlim Clinic cost?
- TeleSlim Clinic doesn't post a standard monthly cash price — pricing depends on insurance or appears after an intake. Get a written quote and confirm the ongoing rate before committing.
- Is TeleSlim Clinic safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Nothing in this class — compounded or brand — has been established as safe in pregnancy or lactation, and every label advises against use. TeleSlim Clinic is not an exception to that. Plan a GLP-1 for after weaning and settle the timing with your own clinician.
- Does TeleSlim Clinic offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — TeleSlim Clinic offers both molecules. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often preferred where insulin resistance drives weight, which matters for PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does TeleSlim Clinic rank for mothers?
- TeleSlim Clinic scores 53/100 on our Metabolic-Fit Score and sits at #62. That score is a weighted read of six things mothers actually have to care about. CoreAge Rx currently leads it — see how they compare.
Pricing, states and verification reflect TeleSlim Clinic's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
