Embody
#37 of 52Online 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
- +Oral tirzepatide gum is rare. Real option for needle-phobic users. (How well it absorbs vs the FDA-approved injection isn't published.)
- +Cheap first month, $99 for semaglutide or $149 for tirzepatide. Among the lowest entry prices in the category.
- +'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
- −Two plans run side by side and the switchover isn't always clear at signup: the $149 promo month steps up to $299–$399 from month 2 (Embody confirms both plans in its review replies). Pick 'Embody Flat' at signup if you want one predictable number.
- −Trustpilot rating is a polarized 3.3 / 5 across 46 reviews: 41% five-star, 24% one-star. Price is the top complaint theme, most of it tied to the promo-to-flat switchover above.
- −Embody doesn't name 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; ask support directly if provenance matters to you.
- −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; raise your dose history at signup, the prescriber makes the final call.
Fella Health
Pros
- +Brand-name FDA-approved medications only (Wegovy, Zepbound), no compounded alternatives, ensuring maximum safety and efficacy
- +6-month money-back guarantee if you don't lose 5% body weight, one of the strongest guarantees in the industry
- +Free lab work included with all plans for comprehensive metabolic monitoring
- +$165/mo with 12-month commitment is competitive for brand-name GLP-1 access
Cons
- −Men only, women cannot use Fella Health's programs
- −12-month commitment required for best pricing ($165/mo), month-to-month is $299/mo
- −No compounded options available, if you want lower-cost compounded semaglutide, look elsewhere
- −Limited to select states only, not available in AK, HI, AL, MS, and several others
