Head-to-head for women
Embody vs Strut Health
Embody and Strut Health 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 #45 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 #6 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want a needle-free option, or who want to see every route and price side by side before committing to one.
Visit Strut HealthThe verdict for women
Strut Health edges out Embody on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 81 (B vs B−). Women who want a needle-free option, or who want to see every route and price side by side before committing to one. The reasoning behind that number is in our full Strut Health review.
Embody is still a genuine option — the cheapest month-to-month price on the board by a wide margin, from a program that names all four of its compounding pharmacies — with the catch that the price is a running promotion against a list rate nearly four times higher. 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 #45 · Grade B−
What we like
- $79/mo semaglutide and $129/mo tirzepatide with no commitment — the lowest month-to-month figures on this board
- 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
- The price is a named promotion against a $299 list rate, and Embody was quoting $69 on a separate landing page at the same time — treat it as a rate that can move
- 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
Strut Health
Ranked #6 · Grade B
What we like
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules — a real option if injections are the thing stopping you, and rare on this board
- Every route prices publicly: semaglutide from $99 sublingual or $149 injectable, tirzepatide from $199 either way
- Cancel, pause or delay a subscription yourself, with 48 hours' notice before processing
The caveats
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- No brand-name path at all
- Asynchronous by design — their FAQ notes some states do not require a phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber
