Embody

#37 of 53

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.

Oak Longevity

#25 of 53

7.5/10

Telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the lower end of market pricing, alongside an oral Wegovy option, brand-name FDA-approved GLP-1s, and a longevity stack (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin). Distinctive non-subscription billing, patients pay each month manually rather than auto-renew.

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 to $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 3.6 / 5 across 3,869 reviews, verified July 25, 2026, and 3,854 of those were left in the last 12 months. 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.

Oak Longevity

Pros

+$133/mo for compounded semaglutide is among the cheapest entries on the market, Sesame Care ($99) is lower, but Oak undercuts most mid-tier platforms
+No-subscription model, patients are not auto-charged each month, choose to renew manually. Reduces unwanted recurring charges
+Compounded tirzepatide at $199/mo is competitively priced for a GLP-1+GIP dual agonist
+Broadest medication mix on the platform: compounded sema + tirz, oral Wegovy, brand Wegovy/Ozempic/Zepbound/Mounjaro, plus longevity peptides (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin)
+Money-back guarantee if not approved by physician, useful safety net for borderline-eligibility patients
+Free shipping and free health coaching included in every program

Cons

−Brand-name pricing ($1,200-$1,500/mo) is significantly above market, NovoCare sells Wegovy direct at $349/mo and LillyDirect has Zepbound at $299/mo. Use Oak for its compounded tiers and buy brand-name direct
−No published lab panels and no specialty (obesity medicine) physicians disclosed, clinical oversight is lighter than lab-driven platforms
−The 'up to 50% cheaper than competitors' marketing claim is unverified and inconsistent, judge Oak on its posted prices, which are genuinely low, not on the slogan
−The longevity add-ons (NAD+, Sermorelin, Tesamorelin) have limited clinical evidence for weight loss specifically, if weight loss is the goal, the GLP-1 alone does the work and the stack is optional
−Newer brand without disclosed company history, founding date, or executive team on landing pages
−Three-month plans are billed upfront, start on the 1-month plan if you're testing the platform, then bundle once it fits

Our Verdict

Oak Longevity edges out Embody with a score of 7.5/10 vs 7.3/10. If budget is your priority, Oak Longevity starts at $133/mo compared to Embody's $149/mo. Oak Longevity 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 Oak Longevity if you want: budget-conscious users who want one of the cheapest compounded glp-1 entries plus a no-subscription billing model and a longevity-stack add-on (nad+, sermorelin).
