Head-to-head for women
Embody vs Sesame Care
Embody and Sesame Care both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Luna Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.
Embody
Ranked #47 for women · Grade B−
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want the lowest possible entry cost without signing a prepay commitment, and who would rather chew a medicated gum than inject.

Higher scoreRanked #5 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.
Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out Embody on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 81 (B vs B−). Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program. The reasoning behind that number is in the Sesame Care scorecard.
Embody is still a genuine option — the cheapest month-to-month price in the ranking by a wide margin, from a program that names all four of its compounding pharmacies — with the catch that it is a starting-dose promotional rate against a $299 list price, so it is the figure most likely to move. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the Embody scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Embody alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

Luna Fit
Embody
Ranked #47 · Grade B−
What we like
- $79/mo semaglutide and $129/mo tirzepatide with no commitment — the lowest month-to-month figures in this ranking
- Names all four partner pharmacies (RedRock, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding and Triad Rx) rather than referring vaguely to 'a licensed pharmacy'
- LegitScript certified
The caveats
- $79 is a starting-dose promotional rate against a $299 list price its own store still records, so it is the figure in this ranking most likely to move — the $69 seen elsewhere is the 12-month prepay rate, not a second monthly offer
- Not available in Louisiana, and the main site does not state coverage at all
- Copy says 'flat at every dose' in one place and 'starting at $79' in another, with no published dose table to settle it
Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #5 · Grade B
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
The caveats
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
