Embody

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.
FeelGood
Pros
- +Compounded semaglutide injection from $149/mo with free shipping and no separate membership or consultation fee
- +Offers an oral compounded semaglutide tablet ($249/mo) for needle-averse patients — a non-injectable route only a handful of platforms provide
- +LegitScript-approved — independent certification that the telehealth/pharmacy operation meets legal and safety standards, which many budget compounded shops lack
- +Money-back weight-loss guarantee plus unlimited 24/7 messaging and appointments included
Cons
- −Does NOT publicly disclose which US states it serves — you can't confirm availability in your state before starting an intake
- −$149 is a 'starting' price (dose-escalating), not flat across all doses — your cost can rise as your dose titrates up, and FeelGood doesn't publish the full dose-by-dose schedule
- −Brand-name 'original' semaglutide injection at $1,999/mo is far above market — NovoCare direct Wegovy is $349/mo and Hers offers Wegovy at $149/mo via the 2026 Novo Nordisk partnership. Never buy brand-name through FeelGood
- −No named medical director, prescribing physicians, compounding pharmacy, founding year, or headquarters disclosed on the site — thin corporate and clinical transparency
- −Self-reported '4.8/5' rating is not tied to a named third-party platform (no linked Trustpilot/BBB), so it can't be independently verified; the advertised '15–20% weight loss' figures are FeelGood's marketing, not FDA-reviewed efficacy data
- −Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (none are) — and FeelGood offers compounded semaglutide only, no tirzepatide
Our Verdict
Embody edges out FeelGood with a score of 7.3/10 vs 7/10. If budget is your priority, FeelGood starts at $149/mo compared to Embody's $299/mo. FeelGood 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 FeelGood if you want: budget-conscious cash-pay patients who want low-cost compounded semaglutide — injection or oral tablet — with free shipping, no membership fees, and a money-back weight-loss guarantee.
