Embody

#38 of 48

7.3/10

Online weight-loss program that ships compounded GLP-1 medication to your door. Run by Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. and prescribed through CareGLP Affiliated P.C.s, their network of licensed doctors. Two pricing plans run side by side: a promo plan starting at $99/mo for semaglutide (or $149/mo for tirzepatide) that jumps after month 1, and 'Embody Flat' at $299/mo that doesn't go up. Their standout: oral tirzepatide gum, for people who don't want to inject.

Pros & Cons Compared

Embody

Pros

+Cheap first month — $99 for semaglutide or $149 for tirzepatide. Among the lowest entry prices in the category.
+Oral tirzepatide gum is rare. Real option for needle-phobic users. (How well it absorbs vs the FDA-approved injection isn't published.)
+'Embody Flat' plan is $299/mo flat with no surprise increases — predictable if you pick it from the start.
+100% money-back guarantee in writing: if you follow the program and don't see results in 6 months, they say they'll make it right.
+Replies to every negative Trustpilot review, usually within 24 hours.

Cons

−Recurring complaint: people sign up at $149 month 1, get billed $299–$399 in month 2. Embody admits in replies that two plans exist (promo + flat) and the switchover isn't always clear at signup.
−Trustpilot rating is 3.3 / 5 across 46 reviews — heavily split: 41% love it, 24% give 1 star. Price is the top complaint theme.
−Embody won't tell you which pharmacy makes the medication — just 'multiple USA certified pharmacies.' This is the norm in the category — most major brands (Embody, Henry, Hims, Yucca, Eden) don't publicly name their pharmacy partners.
−No HIPAA disclosure on their site (HIPAA is the federal law protecting your medical info — most telehealth providers publish a statement confirming they follow it).
−Compounded medications only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic available.
−If you stop treatment and come back, Embody's doctors will likely restart you at the lowest dose (2.5mg). It's their safety policy — some users find it overly cautious.

Enhance MD

Pros

+$115/mo starting price with access to both brand-name and compounded — rare at this price point
+Offers combination therapies (GLP-1 + B12, GLP-1 + NAD+) for patients wanting enhanced protocols
+Quick asynchronous consultations — most patients approved within 24 hours without video calls
+Flexible dosing: can start at lower doses than standard protocols for sensitive patients

Cons

−Lighter clinical support than higher-priced platforms — check-ins are patient-initiated, not scheduled
−No insurance billing and limited customer support hours (business days only, no weekends)

Our Verdict

Enhance MD edges out Embody with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.3/10. If budget is your priority, Enhance MD starts at $212/mo compared to Embody's $299/mo. Enhance MD offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose Embody if you want: people who want the oral tirzepatide gum, or who'll pick the $299/mo flat plan with eyes open instead of the teaser plan. Choose Enhance MD if you want: budget-conscious users interested in combination therapies.
