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

+Cheap first month, $99 for semaglutide or $149 for tirzepatide. Among the lowest entry prices in the category.
+Oral tirzepatide gum is rare. Real option for needle-phobic users. (How well it absorbs vs the FDA-approved injection isn't published.)
+'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

−Recurring complaint: people sign up at $149 month 1, get billed $299–$399 in month 2. Embody admits in replies that two plans exist (promo + flat) and the switchover isn't always clear at signup.
−Trustpilot rating is 3.3 / 5 across 46 reviews, heavily split: 41% love it, 24% give 1 star. Price is the top complaint theme.
−Embody won't tell you 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.
−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, some users find it overly cautious.

Telos RX

Pros

+Flat pricing across all doses, $0 consult fee, free 2-day shipping, FSA/HSA accepted
+Four compounded formats: injectable tirzepatide, injectable semaglutide, sublingual tirzepatide drops, and an explicitly priced microdose tier, format breadth most new storefronts don't offer
+Compounding pharmacy named: VialsRX, a 503A pharmacy in Houston, TX, most competitors don't name theirs
+Cheap committed rates: $169/mo semaglutide and $129/mo sublingual tirzepatide drops on 12-month plans
+A month-to-month option exists ($249/mo semaglutide), the safer way in given the early-cancel clawback on multi-month plans

Cons

−The company is about 10 weeks old, telosrx.com was registered April 20, 2026. There is no operating track record to evaluate
−Homepage claims 'Trustpilot 4.9', the actual Trustpilot page shows 4.0 from only 3 reviews (verified July 2, 2026). That mismatch is a trust problem on its own
−No physical address published anywhere on the site
−LegitScript certification claimed but we could not verify it against LegitScript's registry
−Site testimonials look templated, we could not verify they come from real customers
−Marketing claims all 50 states, but the terms say 'certain states' with no list, we could not confirm where Telos actually operates
−'Cancel anytime, no penalties' product copy is contradicted by the terms: cancelling a multi-month plan early triggers a re-rating clawback, you are re-billed at the higher month-to-month rate for the months already used
−No named clinicians, no labs, no published clinical infrastructure of any kind, prescriptions route through the Arora Health medical group with no individual providers disclosed
−Shares its medical group (Arora Health) and pharmacy (VialsRX) with Trimi Health, a white-label backend relationship neither brand discloses on its own site

Our Verdict

Embody edges out Telos RX with a score of 7.3/10 vs 4/10. If budget is your priority, Embody starts at $149/mo compared to Telos RX's $249/mo. Choose Embody if you want: people who want the oral tirzepatide gum, or who'll pick the $299/mo flat plan with eyes open instead of the teaser plan. Choose Telos RX if you want: price-sensitive patients who want flat-dose compounded pricing in multiple formats (injectable, sublingual drops, microdose) and are comfortable betting on a brand-new company with no track record yet.
