Embody

The reviewed injection catalogue publishes four plan lengths and their prices for both molecules. Separate promotions and the published terms do not consistently describe the same offer, so confirm the applicable commitment and renewal before paying.

All 8 Embody plans

Payments are normally non-refundable; a limited medical-disqualification exception applies.

How Embody bills

Embody's $69 is not a flat price at checkout. Its public catalogue charges $79/$129 for one month, or $69/$119 a month when you prepay twelve months ($828/$1,428). A separate promotion advertises $69/$119 flat monthly, and its terms dated April 24 still list other introductory and fixed-price programs. Embody doesn't say which of these sets your first charge and renewal, so ask before you pay. Sources checked October 16, 2026.

What to watch for with Care Bare Rx and Embody

Care Bare Rx

  • Programs auto-renew and the medical consent page says there are no refunds or exchanges, with consult fees non-refundable even if you are not approved. You have to request cancellation before your next payment processes or you are billed again.
  • A third party review link is not shown on the site's home, about, FAQ or contact pages (checked 2026-09-03), and two of its own testimonials credit CareGLP, the platform its FAQ says powers the program, and a Dr. Powers who is not among the four physicians the FAQ names. The named prescribers, listed with NPI numbers, are the trust signal that does check out.
Care Bare Rx's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Oral tablets and injectables are both offered, so there is a needle-free route, with weight loss plans starting at $199/mo
  • Named physician leadership (Dr. Ana Lisa Carr MD, Dr. Kelly Tenbrink MD) adds accountability
  • The listed price includes telehealth consultations, a treatment plan, the monthly prescription, shipping and email and phone support, per its FAQ
  • Free shipping included on all orders

More to watch for

  • No insurance is accepted, so budget the $199/mo as an out-of-pocket cost. FSA and HSA cards are accepted, which the pricing grid and the FAQ both state.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded injectable, plus brand Rybelsus tablets as the oral option)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded injectable; its product page calls oral tirzepatide emerging and available at provider discretion)
  • Ozempic (brand-name injection, listed from $749/mo on its landing page and from $705/mo on its about and FAQ pages, checked 2026-09-03)
Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation

Shipping
Free
Cancellation
Programs auto-renew. The medical consent page says you must request cancellation before your payment is processed, and that there are no refunds or exchanges

Embody

  • Payments are normally non-refundable. If Embody's provider determines medical disqualification, its refund policy allows a refund for unused services after deducting services already provided. Cancellation otherwise stops future renewal. The twelve-month semaglutide plan commits $828 up front; cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date.
  • The public catalogue shows $69/$119 as twelve-month equivalents paid up front at $828/$1,428, while a separate promotion advertises those amounts monthly. Embody's April-dated terms still list different introductory and fixed-price programs. Ask which terms govern your final offer before you pay. Confirm the first charge, recurring charge and commitment before paying.
Embody's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • The reviewed injection catalogue publishes four price tiers for each molecule: semaglutide $79/$76/$73/$69 and tirzepatide $129/$126/$123/$119 across one, three, six and twelve months. Separate promotional offers and published terms differ; confirm which terms govern your purchase.
  • One-month injection prices of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP were visible in Embody's catalogue on September 20, 2026. The FAQ says the selected rate holds within the chosen plan.
  • Four plan lengths are disclosed (4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks), giving shoppers a shorter-term option as well as longer-plan pricing.
  • Publishes its cancellation and refund terms in full, dated August 25, 2026, so the 72-hour cancellation cutoff and limited medical-disqualification refund exception are readable before you pay.
  • Publishes responses to customer reviews on Trustpilot, giving readers the company's reply alongside individual complaints.

More to watch for

  • Trustpilot showed 3.8 / 5 across 10,100 reviews on October 17, 2026, while the landing page advertised 4.8 on our prior check. The Trustpilot profile includes merged reviews from another profile, and individual reports cover different pricing periods. It is not a measure of clinical quality.
  • Embody names four partner pharmacies: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy in Utah, Health Warehouse in Kentucky, Precision Medicine in New York and Triad Rx in Alabama, and says all four are 503A compounding pharmacies. It does not say which one will fill your prescription. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations, and the FDA close-out in May 2023 records that the firm no longer produces sterile drug products.
  • Embody's public catalogue lists only compounded injections; it doesn't list branded Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro or Ozempic.
  • Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. also runs SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com). Each footer names the shared parent, but none of the three names the others. Embody and SnagRx both advertise $69 semaglutide and $119 tirzepatide, but they ask you to commit to different payment terms. Read our SnagRx review, then compare Embody and SnagRx side by side.

Cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date, and the policy dated August 25, 2026 says all payments are final and non-refundable, with a refund for unused services on provider-determined medical disqualification, after deductions for services already provided. Multi-month plans are non-refundable in whole and in part. Refill orders triggered by user-completed optional refill intake can pull the next billing date forward.

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
