Embody or MEDVi: Which GLP-1 Program Fits You? (2026)

Both Embody and MEDVi can get you started on a GLP-1 from home — the question is which one suits the way you want to be cared for. We’ve put them side by side on price, medications, coverage, and the support you can count on, so you can pick with confidence instead of a shrug.

Our pick: MEDVi
