Visit Embody

Two GLP-1 Providers chasing the same patients, trading off price, geography and what lands in the box differently. On our scoring, Embody opens cheaper — $79/mo against $900, and Embody finishes ahead, 9.3 to 6.1. What follows: the prices, what each plan actually covers, the six-dimension score, where each one is weak, and who should pick which.

About Modern Age

Modern Age charges $500 for an Aging Wellness Assessment, covering a blood draw, at-home tests and a one-hour board-certified clinician review, then $500 for a personalized 6-month Weight Loss Program. GLP-1 medication is not included: if uninsured, branded Ozempic or Wegovy is estimated at $900-1600/mo. The longevity-focused clinic uses FDA-approved branded semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) inside a structured program, and is currently available to residents in 16 states. This is a premium, clinician-led program, not a low-cost compounded subscription.

Pros & Cons

Modern Age

What we like

  • Semaglutide at $900 a month, 31% below the $1299 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
  • Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription

Watch-outs

  • No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
  • No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here

Embody

What we like

  • Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Tirzepatide at $129 a month, 52% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
  • Coverage is published for all 50 states
  • Names 4 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
  • Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition

Watch-outs

  • Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

Embody takes it, 9.3 against 6.1, and it is especially strong on knowing which pharmacy fills the vial — it names RedRock Pharmacy. Modern Age is no weak second and may fit you better on semaglutide from $900/month.
