The decision

Which should you choose, Embody or PeterMD?

Short answer: The available assessments do not establish a score winner. Compare medication, full cost, care and commitment to decide which fits your needs. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; PeterMD is from $149/mo.

Why each one

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.

PeterMD

Two compounded programs at two prices: GLP1 plus B12 from $149/mo, and tirzepatide plus B12 at $209/mo for any dose, with the page stating the price does not rise as your dose increases.

Watch out for

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.

PeterMD

The excluded states differ by page: the GLP1 plus B12 program lists AL, ID, AK and HI, the tirzepatide page lists only AL and ID, and the intake form asks about Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho and Hawaii. Confirm your own state during signup before planning around PeterMD.

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions compared

Embody

Pros

  • +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.

2 more documented strengths

  • +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.

Cons

  • −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. We have not verified which terms govern the final offer. Confirm the first charge, recurring charge and commitment before paying.
  • −Trustpilot showed 3.8 / 5 across 9,425 reviews on October 8, 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.

3 more documented cautions

  • −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.
  • −The reviewed public catalogue lists compounded injections; no current branded Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro or Ozempic offer was verified there.
  • −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 their verified payment commitments differ. Read our SnagRx review, then compare Embody and SnagRx side by side.

PeterMD

Pros

  • +The tirzepatide plus B12 program is one price for any dose, $209/mo, and the page says it does not go up as you titrate
  • +B12 is listed as an added ingredient in the GLP1 + B12 program
  • +Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

  • −The excluded states differ by page: the GLP1 plus B12 program lists AL, ID, AK and HI, the tirzepatide page lists only AL and ID, and the intake form asks about Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho and Hawaii. Confirm your own state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
  • −The September 3, 2026 review snapshot recorded billing and delivery complaints alongside a BBB F grade and no accreditation. The current complaint record and which reports concern GLP-1 treatment remain unconfirmed.
  • −PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.

Our Verdict

The available assessments do not establish a score winner between Embody and PeterMD. Compare the medication, full cost, care and commitment that fit your needs. An incomplete assessment is not evidence of poor care. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; PeterMD is from $149/mo.
