What Embody and Luvo Health plans cost

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 Embody and Luvo Health

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
Choose a 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan at signup. 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.

Luvo Health

  • The 50% starter discount lasts four weeks; the next delivery costs the full listed rate
  • Four-week billing means 13 billing cycles in 52 weeks, not 12 calendar-month payments. Longer prepaid plans have separate terms
Luvo Health's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Publishes separate first-cycle and renewal prices for three compounded GLP-1 plans, with clinician review, support and shipping included
  • Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
  • Published cancellation and refund terms explain the notice period and limits on prepaid-plan refunds
  • Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
  • Its terms describe prescription-transfer rights; ask which licensed pharmacy can fill the exact prescription and how a transfer affects the plan

More to watch for

  • The compounded-plan prices do not establish the cost of brand-name Ozempic or Zepbound; obtain a separate quote for those options
  • No medical director and no individual prescribing clinician is named; the terms name OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical partner, but not the clinician who would review your file
  • The terms name four compounding pharmacies and describe default assignment and transfer rights. Confirm the assigned pharmacy before payment; a transfer right does not guarantee that every pharmacy can dispense the prescribed formulation
  • Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
  • Refunds close earlier than cancel any time suggests: cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date, and once the prescription reaches the pharmacy no refund is available, which for a new patient with no video visit is the moment the intake is submitted

  • Compounded semaglutide (injectable)
  • Compounded tirzepatide (injectable)

Cancellation
Cancel any time, with requests due at least 72 hours before the next billing date. A refund for the current cycle is available only while the medication has not been ordered, and for a new patient with no required video visit that is the moment the intake is submitted. Clinical services are non-refundable once rendered.
