Embody beats LivBody overall, scoring 7.3/10 vs 2.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; LivBody is from $179/mo. Choose Embody for people who want the oral tirzepatide gum, or who are comfortable selecting a 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan for an advertised glp-1 + gip rate from $129. Choose LivBody for followers of the livbody supplement brand who specifically want compounded glp-1 injections tied to a name they already know, and who will confirm the real monthly price at checkout before paying.

Embody

#32 of 54

7.3/10

Online weight-loss program that ships compounded GLP-1 medication to your door. Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. runs the storefront and OpenLoop Health supplies the clinical network on the current site. Embody now advertises compounded semaglutide from $79 and GLP-1 + GIP from $129; its FAQ says the chosen rate holds within a selected 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan. Its standout is oral tirzepatide gum for people who do not want injections.

LivBody

#54 of 54

2.9/10

GLP-1 telehealth program from LivBody, the fitness-influencer supplement brand founded by Paige Hathaway in 2018 (legal entity LivBody HoldCo LLC). The GLP-1 arm launched around early 2026 and is an OpenLoop white-label: clinicians come from OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC (the terms also use the name 'LivBody Healthcare Partners, PC'), the listed Des Moines, IA headquarters is OpenLoop's office, and cancellations go through an OpenLoop support desk. Sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections, with the consult and free expedited overnight shipping included in the monthly price. Prescriptions are filled by four named compounding pharmacies: RedRock Pharmacy (UT), Health Warehouse (KY), Precision Compounding (NY), and Triad Rx (AL).

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.)
+Advertised injection floors of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP, verified August 14, 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.
+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

−Runs two sibling storefronts most shoppers will never connect to it: SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com) are the same legal entity, Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. SnagRx still advertises a separate $69/$119 promotion; Embody now advertises $79/$129 under its own plan menu. Neither site tells shoppers they share an operator. See our [SnagRx review](/reviews/snagrx)
−The $79/$129 figures are advertised floors tied to a selected 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan, not a verified no-commitment month-to-month rate. Confirm the plan length and total before payment.
−Trustpilot rating is 3.8 / 5 across 5,305 reviews, verified August 14, 2026. Price and billing remain recurring complaint themes, although many reviews describe earlier pricing structures.
−Embody names four pharmacy partners: RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding and Triad Rx. It does not state whether each prescription is filled through a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations; FDA closed it out in May 2023.
−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.

LivBody

Pros

+Four compounding pharmacies named WITH street addresses, RedRock Pharmacy (UT), Health Warehouse (KY), Precision Compounding (NY), and Triad Rx (AL), more pharmacy transparency than most competitors offer
+Named medical group, OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC, most white-label storefronts name no one
+Consult and shipping included in the monthly price ('no hidden fees'), with free expedited overnight shipping
+Real 8-year-old brand with a named founder, Paige Hathaway founded LivBody in 2018, this is not an anonymous pop-up storefront
+Proper compounded-medication disclosures, the site states plainly that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Available in all 50 states plus DC (terms hedge that 'some services may not be available in all states')

Cons

−Pricing contradicts itself on the SAME page: landing cards say 'Starting at $179'/mo semaglutide and $279/mo tirzepatide, but the FAQ says the program 'starts at just $249/month'. Checkout is captcha-gated, so we could not resolve which number is real, confirm the actual price at checkout before paying
−Terms state ALL FEES NON-REFUNDABLE (in all-caps), which contradicts an undefined 'LIV Body guarantee' badge on the landing page
−The GLP-1 program is an OpenLoop white-label: clinicians are OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC, the listed Des Moines HQ is OpenLoop's office, and the cancellation desk is an OpenLoop zohodesk email. The LivBody supplement brand is not the one treating you
−Zero independent GLP-1 track record: Trustpilot shows 0 reviews (profile claimed February 2026), and the BBB rates the supplement entity (Liv Body LLC, Henderson NV) B-, not accredited, with an unanswered complaint
−Supplement-product testimonials are recycled onto the GLP-1 page as patient social proof
−Pharmacy partner Triad Rx (AL) received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations; the FDA closed it out in May 2023, we state both facts because both matter
−Broken legal links: the Medical Consent and Patient Bill of Rights documents point to start.livbody.com, a domain that does not resolve
−No named medical director, no labs, no video-visit path, no clinical infrastructure disclosed beyond the OpenLoop group name
−Injectables only, no oral or sublingual option, no microdose tier, no brand-name access, and no LegitScript certification found (the site links only the LegitScript checker)

Our Verdict

Embody edges out LivBody with a score of 7.3/10 vs 2.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; LivBody is from $179/mo.
