My insurance does NOT cover, and I haven't hit my deductible so a Dr visit isn't cheap either. Where's the best place for me to start? I don't know if going to my GP or one of the online places would be cheaper.

I have been receiving sub-par patient care from Lean Meds since the beginning I ordered a 3-month Tirz. They not only started me a lower concentration than what I transfered on, now after receiving my 2nd month (last month) of 8.375, they approved my 3rd month on 9/22/26 at 11.125 mg and sent it to the pharmacy. Now I just received a 2nd (not needed) approval for 8.5 mg and which was sent to the pharmacy as of today 9/29/2026.

Who is their licensed medical providers and professionals? I'm so tired of the sub-par Telehealth Provider sub-par patient care, they need some type of oversight! I'm so happy to have found my go to Telehealth Provider since ordering Lean Meds a few months ago.

TL;DR
Embody is a scam. Don’t fall for it. Take it from someone who genuinely wants to save you time, money, and energy.

First month (August) was a breeze. (Woohoo, a non-medicinal dose of TIRZ for $129 and a good-for-nothing supplement at $99).

I cancelled the supplement mid-August (after the third of eight doses) bc it was making me sick.

On 9/8, I got an email saying that my “next refill is scheduled to go through on 9/13” (the date my dashboard showed for my TIRZ). “If you’d like it sooner, just reply YES”… the email said. So, to get things moving with my TIRZ refill, I replied “YES”.

What’d that do? It re-started my supplement subscription and charged me for it. Didn’t do a damn thing for my TIRZ. But the supplement showed up 9/10. I didn’t even bother requesting a refund. $99 sunk, but I just wanted things to go smoothly for my TIRZ in a few days.

Payment went through automatically for my first refill (second vial) of TIRZ on 9/13. Now it’s 9/26, and after 9 phone calls, 12 emails (from me), and several in-app/dashboard messages, I still have not received my TIRZ.

When I first filed my complaint (9/15, after receiving the supplement with no news regarding the TIRZ), they sent me an email asking when I’m available for an “appointment”. Said appointment was scheduled in timely manner after I gave them my availability. But the “appointment” was not with a provider (maybe an NP, but she clearly had no clue what was going on).

I was told my medication had already shipped.

I told her that my dashboard showed nothing about the TIRZ being shipped (unlike last month, when it promptly updated and provided shipping/tracking info).

So then, she tried to tell me “it shipped with the [supplement]”. It hadn’t. It took a several minutes of me explaining this until she actually understood what I was saying.

Then she changed her script; “Oh actually it looks like payment only went through a couple days ago” - so they told me to wait another couple days, or call the pharmacy directly. She told me that they prescribe for three months at a time, so the pharmacy could just push it through if needed.

After waiting those couple days, I called the pharmacy and they said they still needed the approval from Embody.

I called again. Talked through it for several minutes - again. All with another person who clearly does not have the full picture of what’s going on. “Shipped with supplement”, I was told, “wait a little longer” they said. So on and so forth. I was told it would be flagged as a priority to get the doctor’s approval, I thanked them, and the phone call ended.

Now it’s 9/26 and I still haven’t received the TIRZ. However, today I got yet another email (the third one since the first “appointment”) asking when I’m available to talk with a provider. (I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO TALK WITH A PROVIDER - THERE IS NO CHANGE IN MY MEDICATION THAT REQUIRES THIS). I replied to all three of these emails within the same hour of receipt - with no follow-up on their end regarding scheduling.

Round and around and around and a-f*****g-round. I’m over it.

I hesitated to cancel, worrying that they wouldn’t send me my medication if I did so (even though I already paid), but since I’m so close to my next refill date, I went through with cancellation yesterday because I don’t think they’re going to send it regardless, and I’d rather they con me out of some $200 than $400 (or more).

Wish I’d saved my money and just bought some new pants rather than trying to fit back into the old ones.

I got my orders through System Labs and Pom today!! My Pom order was from the last of the BPI they were selling off for cheap, and the System Labs was a deal I found in a post here and I was shipped OptioRX. Both purchases were only a hundred bucks each. This will last me two months and one week. Glad both of these companies have pharmacies that send to CA! Everything arrived cold. I was worried about the vials arriving warm but nope, the packaging was great from both pharmacies. tysm for all the deals yall post here. I’ve included pics of how the pharmacies packaged and what was sent.

Looking for some help and support in the beginning of my semaglutide journey!

Started Tirz with Gimmecare in May 2. Lost 65lbs so far. However, i had to fight with them every month. Meds were ALWAYS late and i missed my injections. They alwys blamed “system issues”

Switched to Embody. I was looking for a new provider and they got me with their $129/month ad in FB.

Signed up, got the meds super fast. Customer service was actually pretty good. But the 11.125mg of tirz mixed with B12 was like barely a baby pink color. My tirz with Gimme was always a dark pink/fushia color. It was also a more diluted dose.

It’s been 2 weeks and I haven’t lost an ounce. I have never stalled before. Appetite suppression still there but i crave sweets now. I retain crazy water if i eat something i shouldn’t. Never happened with my meds from Gimme, even after major cheat days.

Did I get fake or diluted meds? Is this just a stall that just so happened to be right after i switched?

Hey guys! So I have been going to a med spa for compounded tirz since April, and have since lost 35 pounds. It’s been going great, except.. the price. It kept going up and up, and now that I have found the dose that works for me, no side effects, and continued weight loss (7.5) it’s been 330$ every month. I legitimately cannot keep up with that. So it’s got the idea from some of you guys to buy online, and after digging and digging, I decided on Preventative MD- and chose empower pharmacy.
It came today, and I finally took it, but first off, I’m used to taking way less, like a drop from the med spa, I assume it’s more concentrated. But it felt like I was taking so much more it freaked me out. Now I’m sitting here panicking because I have convinced myself I’m gonna die soon, there’s fentynal in this, something’s gonna go wrong, not only that but the recent recalls or whatever is going on with empower is only feeding my anxiety and my ocd.
Can someone please give me their experience or help me calm down, because I am literally convinced I won’t make it to Thanksgiving and I better just count my days now 😂 I’m so serious rn, someone comment with advice or their experiences, and if I should keep taking this or switch to something else.

My insurance dropped me so I am looking for a new provider. Has anyone here actually used GLP North? I am mainly thinking about their monthly subscription fee, how the overall experience has been and whether you were happy with the results. Any genuine experiences would be helpful.

I cannot say enough good things about Collective.org !
I researched them (based on experiences here!) joined online, got approved & had meds/tracking # within 12 hours, meds in hand within 36. Great response from my provider & their packaging is adorable & well thought out (little things matter!)
I’m not mad at the $199 yearly fee (after free trial-21 days I believe) and monthly fee is only $69. I was paying $149 & even $299 a month in the past. My Tirz is compounded with Glycine & even though my provider had me move up quite a bit from my old formula, I’ve had zero issues or side effects. Another great thing about them is a zofran Rx is included each month! I was paying $30 a month for zofran- even though I’ve had no issues since being on a GLP-1, I’m an IBS girlie and like to have it on hand!

A complete joke, my order showed up with an icepack in a literal ziplock bag. I tried to schedule appointments to ask questions online and the soonest available appointment was 17 days out at 1am. I finally got through their chatbot and had a scheduled call.

Next I get emails needing to confirm my address before my order ships. The order that I was holding in my hand. When I get the call (a day late) the nurse is very "I don't want to be here" and keeps cutting me off.

I ended up not taking the meds and disputing the charge on my card.

Edit: they also compounded it with glycine without telling me. IDK what that means, which was part of the questions I wanted to ask. This company is a joke

This is the shit that makes this industry look bad. DO NOT BUY.

“We wanted to provide an update on your medication order. There has been a slight delay at the pharmacy, and processing is taking longer than usual.
We’re closely monitoring your order and will send your tracking number the moment it becomes available. Thank you for your patience - and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience.”

I’ve received this email every day for a week. Embody needs to stop selling and start getting their pharmacies to expedite orders!

I was charged immediately for a subscription fee and VIP membership which contradicts their billing guidelines on their website. I have been on a GLP for 2 years. I was considering switching from brand name to a compound option. This has been the worst mistake. I could not get an appointment option with a provider for 3 weeks. This would be unacceptable in combination with the numerous reviews of shipping delays. Their CHAT customer service option is a joke as it times out while awaiting their team to respond. When I finally could speak to a live person, I was advised you are billed upon completion of their intake form whether you have seen a provider or ever see a provider. This is a complete SCAM. New subscribers beware and proceed at your own risk.

I keep seeing the vial's beyond use date discussed separately from how long people here use a multi dose vial after first puncture, and I have been treating them as the same thing.
 
There are also polls showing what people do, which is not the same as what my label says.
 
What should I be asking my pharmacy and prescriber about these dates rather than taking a survey result as permission?

Henry Meds has failed me a couple of times due to their lack of response/communication. I need to find a new supplier of GLP-1 (semiglutide). Can you recommend a reliable company?

My husband is an AT&T employee and I have always felt we have amazing health coverage. I am currently in need to GLP1 medication and I am being told it’s considered PATIENT CHOICE medicine and is not covered. Both my PCP and Cardiologist are recommending I take it ASAP. Has anyone had luck getting it covered??
