What you'll get with Embla

Your own coach

Get matched with a trained health coach for 1:1 support on habits, nutrition, sleep, and more.

A personalized plan

Build routines that feel natural — not restrictive — with guidance tailored to your goals and lifestyle.

GLP-1 medication

GLP-1s (like Ozempic) may be prescribed if appropriate, always at the lowest effective dose and with a plan to taper.

Long-term support

We'll teach you the tools to keep your results for life, and without medication.

What makes Embla different?

Other programs often rely on medication alone or push short-term fixes. Embla combines behavior change with responsible medication use to help you achieve results that stick.

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.

GLP-1s, if it's right for you

Not everyone needs it. If you do, GLP-1s are prescribed carefully — at the lowest effective dose, with medical monitoring.

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.

Lose 16.7% of your
weight in 12 months

On average, members lose nearly one-sixth of their body weight in the first year.

8 out of 10 taper
off medication

Most people step down successfully — and keep the weight off without relying on meds.

Fewer side
effects

Because doses are lower and safer, you avoid the discomfort of high-dose GLP-1s.

Better whole-health outcomes

Members report improved energy, sleep, blood pressure, and overall wellbeing.

What members say

"I've lost 40 lbs so far with very few side effects. I've already had to cut my blood pressure medication in half. I feel better physically than I have in 10–15 years. At 60+, that's saying something.

FAQs

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.

What happens if I stop participating?
You may be temporarily paused from the program and can rejoin after 12 months.
How much time do I need to invest in the program?
Most members connect with their coach 2–4 times a month. You also have unlimited chat access through the app. The program is flexible, allowing you to set a pace that works best for you. Most members see best results after 8–12 months.
What's expected from me?
Stay active in coaching and complete quick check-ins every 90 days. If you're on medication, continued access depends on engagement and progress — your care team will guide you.
Will I regain the weight if I stop medication?
This is why behavior change is central to the program. Members who build strong habits during the program are significantly more likely to maintain their results after tapering off medication.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no long-term contracts. You can cancel your plan at any time.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. If you want to change your medication type or move between EmblaThrive and EmblaThriveMD, your care team can help you make that transition.
Is compounded medication safe?
Yes. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies and prescribed by licensed clinicians. They contain the same active ingredients as branded versions.
Which medication option should I choose?
Your clinician will help you decide based on your health history and goals. Compounded options are more affordable and clinically equivalent. Branded options may be preferable if you have specific clinical needs or preferences.
How do I get the medication?
If GLP-1s are suitable for you, an Embla clinician will evaluate your medical history. If safe, they will prescribe the medication and arrange for it to be shipped directly to your home.
Do I need medication?
No. Many members achieve strong results through coaching alone. GLP-1 medication is available only if clinically appropriate and if you choose it.
Who is eligible?
Anyone with a BMI of 30+ and at least one obesity-related condition such as hypertension, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, or osteoarthritis. Type 2 diabetes alone also qualifies.
Is there a cost?

Yes. Plans start at $195/month depending on your medication preference. Pricing shown already includes your MedWatch discount.
