I ordered trizepitide on August 10, billed on August 11 and still have not received anything. It just says processing. I sent an inquiry.2 days ago and haven’t heard anything back either.
Update: I called and canceled 8/25.
Response from EmbodyAug 25, 2026
I’m really sorry you’ve been waiting this long without an update. I can understand how frustrating it is to see your order still processing, especially after you’ve already reached out and haven’t heard back. We’d like to look into your order and see what’s causing the delay.

I was scheduled for 2 provider intakes…
I was scheduled for 2 provider intakes and the first intake I joined the video link early and the provider called my phone instead of joining the link. I missed the call because I was sitting on the virtual link waiting. Provider posted to the portal that I missed my visit. I called customer support immediately and was told the provider should have joined the link and not have made a call and should have attemped a call back if I missed a call. The provider never called me back as it was stated was their protocol. I scheduled a second visit the following day, provider joined link but was very unprofessional. No camera on as she, theprovider, said she didnt know how to work it. Dogs barking and sounded like she was running, out of breath and such. She was unfamiliar with my information and I had to keep redirecting her to my submitted medical info or repeating it. It took about 10 minutes, she approved my prescription and said it would be submitted and I'd receive my meds quickly via mail. That was 8/18. I received an email telling me my provider follow up note was on my portal. I go to the portal to find NO PROVIDER NOTE and it states I missed my 8/18 intake visit, which I did not miss. It also has the wrong medicine listed for prescribing and says my case is being reviewed and an intake is still required. In total I have called customer service twice and written 3 emails. Not getting anywhere, but the patient portal says I have 18 days before my next renewal! What renewal? I have had NO SERVICE AND NO MEDS! I am beyond dissapointed and furious with the lack of professionalism, customer support and responsiveness of this company. Embody took my money and has given nothing back that it promised im exchange. Do better!

I’m really sorry you’ve had to go through all of this. From what you described, there were several things that went wrong—from the missed video appointment to the follow-up visit, the incorrect information in your portal, and not getting clear answers from support. I can understand why you’re frustrated, especially after making multiple calls and sending emails and still not having your medication or a clear update. We’d like to look into your account and see what happened.

A horrible experience
The customer service was also extremely frustrating. I often waited hours for a response, and during multiple calls, the representatives were very difficult for me to understand. Their English was unclear, and I repeatedly had to ask them to repeat themselves. Only once did I speak with someone who was easy to understand.
I also scheduled a video appointment, but they repeatedly called me by phone instead, even after I explained that I had scheduled a video visit.

Be warned that the pharmaceutical used…
Be warned that the pharmaceutical used by Embody (Boothwyn) was violated by FDA for sterilization and mishandling of medication in late 2025. Then, there’s False advertisement and no real money back guarantee. I emailed and text my concerns about the pharmacy violations and dosages, received no response but money taken out my account. No solution offered, admit receiving my emails and cancellation with no account for why no response. They never tell you their max dose until it’s too late. So fyi they don’t exceed 11.5 dosages.
Response from EmbodyAug 24, 2026
I’m sorry you were left feeling ignored. I understand why that would be frustrating, especially when your questions involve your medication and the pharmacy. We’d like to look into your account and review what happened with your messages, cancellation, and charges so we can give you a clear answer.

I ordered from Embody on August 17th in…
I ordered from Embody on August 17th in the morning after researching alternatives for months. I’m currently on 10 mg Zepbound through Lilly, and my provider recently increased my dose to 12.5 mg. I uploaded my current prescription along with all of the requested information immediately.
When I signed up, customer service was extremely nice and told me that my information would be reviewed within 24 hours and that medication would typically follow within 3–5 business days after approval. I was genuinely excited because I thought I had finally found a great alternative.
Unfortunately, my experience since then has been completely different.
Nothing has progressed on my account. I have emailed three times with no response. I have called repeatedly, sometimes sitting on hold and other times having someone answer and then disconnect the call.
I was finally given a specific time and date for my provider call: today at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. I made sure I was available and waited. 11:00 came and went with no call.
I contacted customer service again and asked to speak with a manager because, at this point, I was extremely frustrated. The representative simply told me to wait for the provider to call. He would not transfer me to a manager or provide me with a way to contact the provider. I eventually became so frustrated that I ended the call.
Then, after my scheduled 11:00 AM provider call never happened, I received a link allowing me to schedule an appointment myself.
I opened the scheduling system, and it shows ZERO appointments available from August 22 through August 29. The first available appointments shown are not until September 1st. I have screenshots documenting this and am attaching them.
I placed and paid for my order on August 17th based on the expectation that my review would occur within 24 hours. I am now apparently expected to wait until September just to have my initial provider visit — before the medication process can even move forward.
I also uploaded my current Zepbound prescription and all requested information when I signed up, so Embody was aware that I am already an established patient receiving this medication and that my provider has increased my dosage.
Had Embody been upfront with me on August 17th and told me that I might not even speak with a provider until September, I would never have placed the order.
I understand that delays and high demand can happen. What I do not understand is giving customers specific expectations, scheduling a provider call that never occurs, failing to respond to multiple emails, and then sending the customer to a scheduling system where there isn’t an appointment available for more than another week.
The issue isn’t simply that Embody is busy. The service and timeline I was promised when I placed my order are completely different from what I have actually received.
At this point, I need someone in management to contact me and resolve this. If Embody cannot promptly complete my review and process my prescription, then I am requesting a full refund so that I can continue obtaining my medication elsewhere.
I really wanted Embody to work, which is why I researched the company for months before switching. Unfortunately, this experience has been extremely disappointing.

I’m sorry we didn’t give you the experience you expected, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain what happened. From what you described, you did everything you were asked to do, provided your prescription and information, and made yourself available for the appointment, only to be left waiting without clear answers. I completely understand why you’re frustrated, especially after being told the process would move much faster. You shouldn’t have had to make multiple calls and emails just to get an update. I’d like to look into your account and see what happened with your review, appointment, and prescription.

UPDATED. The legit reviews here are TRUE. Not a company you want to work with.
UPDATE: STILL TERRIBLE. Despite the obviously manufactured company response below which actually says nothing at all, I'm STILL waiting to find out when my paid-for meds will ship. Two weeks and not a tiny peep from the company, no response to any requests and no updates. Goodbye money, I guess. Downgrading my review to one star because Embody can't even keep up with their two stars.
Everyone reviewing this company poorly are 100% CORRECT. The start-up, the first month shipping/processing was a breeze, but it all took a nosedive after that. Go ahead and try to get any type of response from Customer Support. It's honestly only worth it if you enjoy being completely ignored. Their billing robots are totally ON IT, but Embody itself treats their clients like cash withdrawal machines, nothing more. It's good to note that the only positive reviews here are "Invited" while all the real humans are telling the truth. Take everyone's advice and steer clear...
Response from EmbodyAug 24, 2026
We're sorry to hear your experience changed after what sounds like a positive start.
It sounds like the most disappointing part wasn't your initial enrollment—it was feeling that once you became an established patient, it became much harder to get the support and communication you needed. We understand why that would leave you feeling frustrated, especially when billing continued as expected while your questions remained unanswered.
We'd like the opportunity to help. Please ask to speak with a manager so we can review your account, better understand your experience, and work toward an appropriate resolution.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
