GLP-1 & Weight Loss

How NewSelf works

NewSelf is a technology platform that connects users with independent medical providers and pharmacy partners. You complete an online health questionnaire, a licensed clinician reviews your case, and a pharmacy fills the prescription only if the clinician approves treatment. Payment does not guarantee a prescription.

The weight-loss program advertises compounded semaglutide with B12 or glycine and compounded tirzepatide with B6 or glycine. The main page shows $134.99 per month for semaglutide and $224.99 for tirzepatide, while promotional product pages show prices as low as $99.97 and $144.49. Other old blocks remain live with even higher amounts.

NewSelf says there is no separate membership fee and all listed doses cost the same. GLP-1 programs require a three-month commitment even when paid monthly, and monthly charges continue until cancellation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No separate membership fee is advertised
  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide are marketed at one price across dose tiers
  • Clinician review and overnight cold shipping are included
  • Partner medical and pharmacy entities are publicly named

Cons

  • Multiple public pages show conflicting prices for the same treatments
  • GLP-1 plans carry a three-month commitment despite monthly billing
  • Refunds narrow sharply after the medical consultation
  • Prescription-change, reship, early-cancellation, and dispute-related fees can apply

What to know before choosing NewSelf

The core tradeoff is price versus certainty. NewSelf's best advertised rates are compelling, particularly with no separate membership or dose upcharge. Yet the site does not present one authoritative, consistent price for each medication, so a screenshot or written confirmation of the final checkout terms is important.

The formal policy is stricter than the phrase cancel anytime suggests. GLP-1 plans require three months, early cancellation can trigger a fee equal to the full retail monthly price, and an approved prescription generally cannot be canceled or refunded after the consultation. Those terms matter more than the promotional headline.

NewSelf does identify its doctor network and several pharmacy partners, which is useful. Even so, the site gives inconsistent statements about state coverage and delivery timing. Confirm the treating entity, dispensing pharmacy, and estimated arrival for your state during intake.

  • Public pages show several different semaglutide and tirzepatide prices, so the exact checkout total needs confirmation.
  • GLP-1 plans require a three-month commitment even when payments are monthly.
  • After an approved prescription is sent to the pharmacy, the order is generally final and non-refundable.

Pricing

18 / 25

NewSelf's pricing is attractive but inconsistent. The main page lists semaglutide at $134.99 monthly and tirzepatide at $224.99, while promotional product pages show $99.97 and $144.49. Older content still displays $199, $449, or other amounts. The company says there is no membership fee and no dose upcharge, but users need a written checkout total and plan length before paying.

Quality

14 / 20

Independent clinicians make prescribing decisions, and NewSelf identifies MD Integrations plus several pharmacy partners. The offered injections are compounded preparations rather than FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro. FDA does not review compounded products for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing, so the dispensing pharmacy and actual label matter.

Onboarding

11 / 15

The process begins with a short online questionnaire and clinician review. If the clinician declines to prescribe, NewSelf says it issues a full refund. A cancellation before the consultation may qualify for a refund minus $99, while an approved order becomes non-cancelable after the consultation and transmission to the pharmacy.

Medication Options

9 / 15

NewSelf publicly focuses on compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide injections with added vitamins or glycine. Dose tiers are advertised at one price, with final dosing determined by the clinician. The service does not present a comparable insured brand-name pathway on its main treatment pages.

Shipping & Fulfillment

7 / 10

NewSelf advertises overnight cold shipping, but its pages use different descriptions for how quickly an order reaches the patient. The formal policy requires users to report wrong, damaged, delayed, or missing shipments within seven days and may require a three-day wait after an expected delivery before replacement processing. A wrong address can trigger a $150 reship fee.

Customer Support

6 / 10

NewSelf advertises ongoing care-team access and 24/7 medical support, with phone, email, and a patient portal available. It does not publish a routine follow-up schedule or guaranteed response time. Policy disputes should be raised with the company first because the posted terms attach a $199 fee to certain chargebacks and allow collection costs.

Usability & Experience

3 / 5

The basic purchase path is short and mobile-friendly, but the site contains duplicate, placeholder, and stale blocks that undermine confidence. Visitors can encounter different prices, delivery promises, and state-availability statements depending on the page. That makes verification more work than it should be for a medical purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

NewSelf's main page lists compounded semaglutide at $134.99 per month, while a promotional product page shows $99.97. Because other old prices remain live, confirm the exact recurring charge and commitment at checkout.

NewSelf's main page lists compounded tirzepatide at $224.99 per month, while a promotional product page shows $144.49. The site also contains stale higher amounts, so obtain a written final quote.

No, NewSelf advertises no separate membership fee for its compounded GLP-1 programs. The selected program price is presented as including clinical review, support, and shipping.

Yes, NewSelf's policy says semaglutide and tirzepatide weight-loss programs require a three-month commitment. Monthly payment does not make the plan fully month to month.

Refund eligibility depends on timing. A pre-consult cancellation may be refunded minus $99, a clinician denial receives a full refund, and an approved prescription sent to the pharmacy is generally final.

NewSelf advertises overnight cold shipping, but its public pages do not give one consistent end-to-end delivery promise. Check current fulfillment timing and report shipping problems within the policy window.

NewSelf is presented as a direct-pay service and does not advertise insurance billing for these compounded programs. HSA or FSA eligibility and documentation are not clearly explained on the public site.

No, NewSelf's compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.

Bars show one starting monthly medication price per comparable provider. The reviewed provider is excluded; membership fees and optional add-ons are not included.Learn about our methodology

The distribution uses one starting monthly medication price for each other active provider in the same therapy and brand-type group. If a provider has several comparable listings, only its lowest positive monthly price is counted, so one provider cannot make a bar look taller by listing more medications.

Bar height shows how many other providers fall within each price range. The reviewed provider is excluded from those bars. The black line marks the provider-listed monthly price shown on the medication card when that price is numeric; otherwise it falls back to the provider's lowest comparable therapy-level price. Market low, median, and high are calculated from the peer-provider prices only.

This remains a therapy-level comparison and may include multiple medications and formulations. Membership fees, labs, shipping, and optional add-ons are excluded because those costs are not consistently structured across providers, so the chart is directional rather than a medication-for-medication quote. The distribution is withheld when fewer than five peer providers have comparable prices, and source freshness is shown when the underlying timestamps are available.

Consult was good, app could be faster

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss
  • Semaglutide

Consult felt collaborative and clear. The app sometimes loaded slowly on my phone. The provider asked thoughtful questions, explained options in plain language, and invited me to share preferences before making a recommendation. I received a concise written summary to review later, which made me feel confident I understood the plan. On my older device the app occasionally paused on the first screen after login, but once past that it was stable and responsive. If performance on older phones improved a bit, the overall experience would be close to perfect.

Pros

Collaborative consult and a clear summary.

Cons

The app was occasionally slow on mobile.

App is clean and the consult felt collaborative

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss
  • Semaglutide

The consult never felt rushed and the clinician asked questions that made the plan feel collaborative. The app is clean and it is easy to find what to do next. I liked that the summary spelled out steps for the first week and offered alternative options. Nothing felt pushy or confusing.

Pros

Collaborative consult, clean app, and clear steps.

Thoughtful follow-ups with clear next steps

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss
  • Semaglutide

I received a follow-up message a couple of days after the visit and it included clear next steps. The plan was broken down by week and felt achievable. When I had a question about timing, I got a straightforward answer the same afternoon. The whole process was smooth.

Pros

Timely follow-ups and achievable steps.

Cons

The FAQ section could be easier to search.

FRAUDULENT COMPANY

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss
  • Tirzepatide

FRAUDULENT COMPANY- They opened 2 accounts for me, charged me more than $2,200, and never sent me anything. I spent hours and hours trying to reach them by phone. I got a woman in the Philippines who spoke to me with chickens crowing in the the background. Everyone said they would ensure my meds got delivered but they never arrived. I had to file a fraud claim with AMEX to try to recoup my money. DO NOT USE!!!!!

Pros

No Pros.

Cons

They will steal your money. It is a CON

Decent, but the plan didn't feel customized

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss

It's been decent but not super customized. Appetite is lower and the medication piece is doing its job. I just wish the check-ins felt more specific to my situation. Shipping was fine and discreet. Overall okay.

Pros

Appetite reduction has been consistent and delivery has been reliable.

Cons

The program feels a bit generic and less personalized.

Quality control

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss
  • Tirzepatide

I decided to switch from my current provider to New Self to experience lower cost for Tirzepatide. I received my first shipment. UPS rang the doorbell and I retrieved the package immediately. Upon inspection the small package was bulging with small gap openings. When I opened it and stuck my hand into the package it was like sticking my hand into bath water. Because the water was warmer than my skin I assumed the temperature was greater than 100 degrees. Each bottle of the three bottles were individually bubble wrapped but each package was filled with warm water. I contacted New Self and they sent me a lengthy text telling me that "This is a normal occurrence and does not compromise the integrity of your medication." She then goes on to state that the compound can withstand higher temperatures for 21 days. BUT SHE FAILS TO STATE THE CUT OFF IS 86 F. You can all research for yourselves what temperatures greater than 86F means for you the consumer. You are instructed to discard your medication and contact your pharmacy. I now have a 3 month supply of unusable medication and I am out the money. New Self does not care how their product arrives at your home. Do not take a chance on this company. You could end up with no usable product yet paying for the entire purchase. They have a low standard of customer service and and even lower standard for the delivery of their product to their consumers. I am including photo so you know I am a real customer. Or rather I was before I decided to go back to my prior company.

Nothing- they are a total joke

  • GLP-1 & Weight Loss
  • Semaglutide

Do not use this company! You will be charged the second after all of your card information is entered without any kind of consultation. This is a money grab. If you are not happy you will not get any kind of refund. Whatever I was given was not the same I was taking from a local pharmacy. The reason these sites are so cheap is because the product is a low dose. I am not even sure there is any semliglutide in the vials they sent since I gained 6 pounds in three weeks. There was zero support. I never had a consultation. I could not even send a message to a doctor, the website kept saying message could not be sent. After thirty messages sent to their customer service and three "refund ticket requests" there were no resolutions. I will be filing a complaint with the FTC.

Pros

There are none

Cons

Poor product, no support, hidden fees, run around from customer service, no doctor consultation, charged immediately without a doctor even know if you should be taking product or now.
