Initially I thought I hit the jackpot, price was reasonable compared to my previous company. This company though is horrible, my meds arrived HOT not warm not COLD as it should. The compounding is with B16! So I don’t know if the medication went bad cause it was HOT on arrival or the compounding was just done wrong but I lost ZERO pounds that entire 4 weeks treatment!! I do NOT recommend this company!! Mind you I had to keep emailing the company cause my medication took forever to be shipped. Dont waste your money like I did find a different company please!

My second week of medicine arrived 3…
My second week of medicine arrived 3 days late due to UPS issues with their plane. I contacted Embody 5 times. I cannot get anyone to ship me replacement medicine or talk to a clinical person. Customer service can only do so much.

Hi Phyllis, we sincerely regret the significant delay in receiving your medication and the difficulty you experienced reaching our clinical team. We are actively investigating this issue to prevent future occurrences and improve our communication channels.

did not send the second month supply…
did not send the second month supply when is was suppose to , didn't even send the order to the pharmacy until it was time for my next months dose was due. Keep getting the same old I unsincere appologies from some ( I assume an over seas) agent. After finally being so flustrated and asked for a refund it was a non refundable 3 months commitment. I committed to an agreement that they broke! Then they say it is too late that it has been sent to the pharmacy..... I guess they have no contact with the pharmacy? Bull crap! I wish I had read these reviews before I ordered. I am getting the same crap they did! If you can't handle the orders, they did not even send my order until 5 days after my 2nd order had been paid for which was when my dose was due. DO NOT ADVERTISE UNTIL YOU CAN!!

Scam - RUN!!!
I signed up with this company for a monthly subscription of GLP1 medication for
129.00/month.
I received my first order promptly on August 9th. I took my first weekly shot of 2.5mg on
August 10th and subsequently weekly thereafter on August 17th, 24th, and 31st. Each vial is
to last 4 weeks.
Per the terms, the subscription and medication were to renew monthly on the 3rd of each
month. I submitted the patient form required for the next shipment/approval the first day it
was available to me on the patient portal on September 3rd. At that point, it was already
cutting it very close to not having on time, this company should not be waiting until you run
out to send a new shipment. I received a confirmation email stating it would be
reviewed/approved within 24 hours. Days went by without any updates. I followed up with
this company many times over the last two weeks.
I attempted the following communications:
1. Chat
a. Monday Sept 7th, disconnected twice, no response
b. Tuesday Sept 8th – was told it was escalated but not to expect shipment soon
c. Wednesday Sept 9 – this time I told them I wanted to cancel as I had to order
this from another company to ensure my medication didn’t lapse. The person
on chat told me he would cancel and it reflected that in the patient portal
that same day. At this point, I disputed the charge with AMEX
2. Email
a. Tuesday Sept 8th – emailed asking for another update, no response
b. Monday, Sept 9th, Tuesday, Sept 10th
3. Phone
a. Tuesday Sept 8th – wait time of 51 minutes, only to be told there was no
update.
At this point, I was already a week past due of this medication and per my doctors note and
advice, any lapse in this medication meant that you need to start over at the initial dose,
instead of moving to the next dosage tier. This meant many symptoms would return that
had already subsided and a pause in blood sugar control and weight loss. It was physically
not recommended to go without for more than a week.
Since I had just started, and this was my first increase, I could not let that happen. I signed
up with another company and received my medication in time to not lapse, however that
meant I now paid double.On Monday, September 14th, I finally received the approval email that was promised to me
within 24 hours on September 3rd. I wrote back via email and said I had already cancelled, I
do not wish to have this product sent to the pharmacy. I received several replies over the
next few days telling me that it had already been sent, however I didn’t receive any email
confirmations or updates on my patient portal that it was in “process” until September 16th.
That is seven full days AFTER I cancelled. At this point, I have missed two scheduled
injections on September 7th and September 14th.
I have continued to email back and forth with their support team, each day they send me
an email stating that there is a delay in the pharmacy. I respond telling them I do not care,
because I have already cancelled and did not accept this shipment or product.
As of today, September 17th there is no ship date. This means I would have missed, at
minimum, THREE full weeks of injections, likely four by the time this would actually
process. Since I was paying for a monthly medication, going an entire month without would
mean a customer should not be billed for what they didn’t receive.
In closing, this company waited too long to begin the renewal process, and once it did
begin was nine days late to approve. Once approved, they are now four days later without
shipment. I am confident I would not get this until a full month has passed.
A medication missing for ONE month is not an inconvenience, it is simply not safe. At this
point, should they even send the medication, they would be sending me a dose that I could
not even consume because of the lapse in medication with their company per medical
professionals.
I have disputed the 129.00 with AMEX, who has credited me back while they investigate. I
have copies of every chat, email and note from my physician. I have asked for a refund
multiple times, but they continue to insist that cannot happen. I will not settle on this
without a refund.
**As of today, still no shipping data so will have officially missed 3 doses. Likely 4** they continue to tell me they are sorry for the "inconvenience". The medical implications make this far more than an inconvenience, like this is the same as a lost tshirt in the mail. Joke of a company.

Never a returned phone call, nothing has been "escalated " medicine gets paid for, but you never get your order
Payed and got my first order without any problems. Only thing...they sent me 11.25 instead of 15mg.2nd order is where the problems start....Have been trying to talk to someone ever since. I have called and called always getting "it has been expedited" response . Someone will call you within the day. Never happens. Even had a call scheduled with a provider...again no one ever called. Got reminder texts about the phone call, but no call. I have paid for my meds on the 8th of September, and it is now the 18th. No meds. No phone call and out $129.00. My next call is to the BBB and Attorney General. I want my meds i payed for!!!

We’d appreciate the opportunity to review your account, including both orders and your attempts to reach support, to understand what went wrong and address your concerns.

This company is a scam!
This company is a scam! I signed up for the month to month plan. I gave them my payment information and they processed a payment for the 3 month plan. I immediately contacted them and asked them to change it to a month to month for the lesser charge to clear my account. They siad they could not change it. It would change on the next payment. I asked them to cancel all together. They said they can cancel it and leave the credit on my account but refuse to refund the money when they took 3 times what I gave permission for. I asked for proof of cancellation and they claimed to have sent the email. i never received it. I have screenshot all of the chat because it can not be saved or printed. I had to contact my bank and pay for a stop payment to avoid the charges being processed on my account. They are a total scam and dishonest. I refuse to do business with any company that is charging more than I gave permission for. Then they are unwilling to change the amount to the monthly charge. If they care cheating me out of money, what else are they going to cheat me on? I don't trust thm to deliver a product if they can't even create and bill my account correctly. HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!!

Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service, I got the first month supply just fine, but after that they will take your money and keep sending you messages saying there's an issue with the pharmacy getting your order,I did more research and found dozens of people who are having the same problem, several people have been waiting over a month, I would not recommend Embody to anyone
Response from EmbodySep 18, 2026
We’re sorry to hear that your experience changed after your first month, particularly with the concerns around your refill and the communication you received about the delay. We understand how frustrating it is to continue receiving updates about a pharmacy issue while still waiting for your medication, especially when you’ve seen other patients describe similar experiences.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to review what happened with your refill. We understand that timely medication fulfillment and clear communication are important, and we’re sorry that your experience did not meet those expectations.

I truly believe this company reels you…
**Edit: after much back and forth and leaving this review my medication finally shipped. I still got no answers as to why there was such a delay. **
I truly believe this company reels you in with "Life time" low cost just to take your money then force you to cancel so they do not have to honor that price for long.
I started the medication last month and the first order arrived immediately on 08.15.26. Then I filled out the refill form on 09.06.26 for the next dose. I got a response that they received it and on 09.10.26 they charged my card. That's when I started getting the daily emails with this message: "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 spoke to a customer service rep on the phone who provided me with a scripted message that essentially said the same as the email. They also claim there are NO refunds.
So then I called the pharmacy that they claim the prescription was sent to. The pharmacy tech stated they had NO medications pending for me. The last one they had was the one that arrived on 08.15.26. She also confirmed that the medication was readily available and not on backorder.
At this point I am not sure what is going on. I sent another email today to the company stating that if I do not receive a tracking number today showing that the medication has shipped I will be filing a fraud claim with my bank. I paid for items that they have no intention on sending. I canceled my subscription.
If I do not get a resolution I will also file a consumer complaint with the Attorney General. There are way too many people experiencing the same issues and someone in charge of this company has a medical license that can be revoked or suspended.
