Head-to-head for women
Embody vs Telos Rx
Embody and Telos Rx 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 #12 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want GLP-1 care under the same roof as bioidentical HRT and needle-free options, from a LegitScript-certified compounder, and who are comfortable vetting a broad menu themselves.
Visit Telos RxThe verdict for women
Telos Rx edges out Embody on the Luna Fit Score, 83 to 81 (B vs B−). Women who want GLP-1 care under the same roof as bioidentical HRT and needle-free options, from a LegitScript-certified compounder, and who are comfortable vetting a broad menu themselves. The reasoning behind that number is in our Telos Rx write-up for women.
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

Price, access & features
| Detail | Embody | Telos Rx |
|---|---|---|
| Luna Fit Score | 81/100 · B− | 83/100 · B |
| Overall rank | #47 | #12 |
| Semaglutide | $79/mo, no commitment (starting dose, promotional rate; $299 list) | $99/mo injectable — the $49 headline is only the FIRST month of the 12-month prepaid ORAL plan, which renews at $129/mo billed every 48 weeks |
| Tirzepatide | $129/mo, no commitment (starting dose, promotional rate; $349 list) | $139/mo injectable · $129/mo oral · $116/mo microdosed (microdosing is tirzepatide, not semaglutide) |
| Coverage | 49 states (not Louisiana) | Not publicly listed |
| Brand-name access | Compounded only | Compounded only |
| Oral / sublingual | Yes | Yes |
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
Telos Rx
Ranked #12 · Grade B
What we like
- Deep catalog that includes bioidentical HRT — genuinely relevant for women managing metabolism and hormones at once
- Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, plus microdosed lanes for a gradual on-ramp
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA-compliant, with HSA/FSA accepted and free shipping
The caveats
- Everything is compounded — not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1, and the low rates hinge on annual lock-in
- No named clinicians and thin public reviews, so the oversight signal is harder to verify
