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, Zepbound, or compounded options) may be prescribed if appropriate, always at the lowest effective dose with a plan to taper.
Long-term support
We'll teach you the tools to keep your results for life, with or 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 medication — and keep the results. We guide you off 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

78.5% successfully
taper off medication
Most people step down successfully — and keep the weight off without relying on meds.

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

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

FAQs
Tyndale covers most of the cost. Coaching alone (EmblaThrive) is fully covered for employees — $0 out-of-pocket. For coaching plus medication (EmblaThriveMD), your employee cost ranges from $25/month (semaglutide) to $399/month (Zepbound), depending on which medication you and your clinician choose. Adult dependents on the health plan pay slightly more.
All Tyndale employees and adult dependents (18+) are eligible. Coaching (EmblaThrive) has no BMI or medical requirements — it's open to everyone. Medication (EmblaThriveMD) requires a BMI of 30+, or a BMI of 27+ with at least one obesity-related condition.
Yes. Adult dependents (18+) on the Tyndale health plan are eligible. Tyndale subsidizes their participation too — though the employee subsidy is slightly higher, so out-of-pocket costs are a bit more for dependents.
No, medication is not mandatory. Many members find success through coaching alone. GLP-1 medication is available only if deemed medically appropriate and if you choose to use it.
All options are available — compounded medication (semaglutide and tirzepatide), Ozempic, and Zepbound. Tyndale's subsidy applies to all of them.
If GLP-1s are suitable for you, an Embla clinician will evaluate your medical history. If prescribed, medication is shipped directly to your home.
Yes. Tyndale knows how many people enrolled. They don't see who, what you discuss with your coach, or your weight progress.
Stay active in coaching and complete quick check-ins every 90 days. If you're on medication, continued coverage depends on engagement and progress — your care team will guide you.
Most members connect with their coach 2–4 times a month. You also have unlimited chat access through the app. Most members see best results after 8–12 months.
