Embody

#37 of 52

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

+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.

Noom Med

Pros

+Tiered 2026 entry, $69/mo branded telehealth tier lets users start with just medication access and the coaching app
+New Microdose GLP-1Rx program ($99-149/mo), low-dose GLP-1 + biomarker monitoring for sensitive users
+Insurance accepted for qualifying plans, can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs on brand-name meds
+Industry-leading behavioral coaching app with years of psychology-based weight loss methodology

Cons

−Tiered pricing creates confusion, $69, $99-149, or $149-349 depending on tier
−Full GLP-1Rx program requires 12-week subscription ($149 intro rate applies only for the first few weeks)
−Medication costs on the $69 tier are out-of-pocket, the low tier price is just the platform
−App coaching still requires real engagement, skip-prone users waste the behavioral value

Our Verdict

Noom Med edges out Embody with a score of 7.4/10 vs 7.3/10. If budget is your priority, Noom Med starts at $99/mo compared to Embody's $149/mo. Noom Med accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Noom Med 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 choose the $299/mo 'embody flat' plan at signup for one predictable price. Choose Noom Med if you want: users who want a tiered entry into glp-1 care, from $99/mo microdose all-in (low-dose + biomarkers + coaching) up to a full $349/mo medication + coaching program.
