What you'll get with Embla
1:1 behavioral coaching
Work with a trained health coach to build habits that support your progress. From stress and sleep to nutrition and mindset.
A full care team
Doctors and nurses guide your treatment and monitor your medication, so you’re never left figuring it out alone.
Start or continue GLP-1
If you want to start or continue on medication, Embla will manage your prescription with no disruption, and at a lower cost than retail.
A safe step-down plan
When you're ready, we help you taper off safely. 8 out of 10 do so successfully without weight regain.
Safer, smarter, and 3× more affordable
Most GLP-1 programs can cost $1,000–$1,200 a month — and rely almost entirely on high-dose medication. Embla delivers better results for just $250–$350 a month by combining behavior-first coaching, clinical care, and responsible, low-dose GLP-1 use.
How Embla compares:
2× more weight loss
0.5× the medication
4.5× higher taper success
23% higher success rate
60–75% lower cost
What makes Embla different?
GLP-1s work. But only when combined with the right support. Embla helps you stay on track, avoid side effects, and get long-term results by combining medication with clinical care and coaching.
Healthy habits come first
Coaching is the core. You’ll get real human support to help build and stick with habits that fit your real life.
Lower doses, better outcomes
We use lower, safer doses, and still deliver better results. Most members avoid common side effects of high-dose GLP-1s.
A plan to taper
Most members eventually step down from meds — and keep the results. We guide you off the medication in the safest way possible, helping you avoid weight regain.
Whole-person health
You’ll feel the change everywhere. Lower blood pressure. Better sleep. Stronger mental health. And the energy to do what matters most.
Results that make a difference
Embla isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about helping you feel better, lose weight safely, and keep the results for the long term.
