Gaya Wellness vs Nalena
The verdict
Nalena takes it — 71.2/100 to 63.9/100.
Nalena grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Nalena is a women-focused, GLP-1-only telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with medication included — no separate membership or visit fees.

Graded #248 · C
Strengths
- OB/GYN-led care designed for women 40+ and menopause overlap
- Includes a 50+ biomarker lab panel and weekly physician check-ins
- HSA/FSA eligible with a GLP-1 plus bioidentical HRT bundle option
- Transparent tiered pricing published online
Where it loses points
- Weight loss is one vertical alongside menopause and hormone care
- Medication-included tiers ($349+/mo) are pricier than many compounders
- Available in only five states (FL, NC, VA, IN, TN)
Graded #97 · C
Strengths
- Compounded GLP-1 from $149/mo with medication included — near the floor of the compounded market
- Transparent fee model: no hidden fees, no membership, cancel anytime
- Money-back guarantee — uncommon among compounded telehealths
- Clinical provider disclosed: Beluga Health, P.A. in Houston, TX
- Women-focused positioning
Where it loses points
- Per-dose pricing not published — only the 'starting at $149' entry price
- No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP badges on public pages
- Compounding pharmacy partners not named (only 'multiple USA certified pharmacies')
- Houston address looks like a virtual office rather than a clinical facility
- No brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) — compounded only
