Medically guided weight management
You know how to diet. You’re tired of fighting hunger and food thoughts all day.
GLP-1 medications may be an option for appropriate patients who need more than another diet, another calorie tracker, or another promise to “try harder.”
With Embrace, treatment does not stop at the prescription. Your medication purchase includes access to the Embrace app to help you work on nutrition, movement, progress, and consistency alongside your medical treatment.
Plans from $199/month
See If I QualifyPrescription required. Treatment is subject to evaluation and approval by a licensed healthcare provider.
In short
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that act on biological pathways involved in appetite and caloric-intake regulation. Through EmbraceHealth.ai, a licensed healthcare provider evaluates your health history to determine whether a GLP-1 medication — semaglutide or tirzepatide — is medically appropriate for you. Plans start at $199 per month and include access to the Embrace app for nutrition, fitness, progress tracking, and ongoing support. Prescription is not guaranteed, and compounded medications, when prescribed, are not FDA-approved.
You probably do not need another lesson on how to lose weight
You know the basics.
Eat less.
Get enough protein.
Move more.
Sleep better.
You may have done all of it before. Maybe you lost 10 pounds. Maybe 30. Maybe more. Then life happened. The tracking became exhausting. The hunger came back. The rules became harder to follow.
And eventually you found yourself doing something you promised yourself you would never do again: Starting over.
The frustrating part is knowing exactly what you are supposed to do and still feeling like food takes up too much space in your day.
What should I eat?
When should I eat?
Did I eat too much?
Why am I thinking about food again?
Should I skip dinner?
Did I ruin today?
That is a lot of mental energy to spend on food. Weight management is more complicated than knowing which foods have fewer calories. For some people, it makes sense to have a medical conversation about another approach.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 receptor agonists belong to a class of medications that act on biological pathways involved in appetite and caloric-intake regulation.
Instead of relying on willpower or restrictive diet rules, these therapies work with your body’s natural signaling systems to help regulate hunger. That makes them fundamentally different from another food-tracking app or temporary meal plan.
However, medication does not eliminate the need for proper nutrition, physical activity, sleep, or healthy behaviors. That is why Embrace builds those pieces around your treatment instead of pretending a prescription is the entire solution.
Understanding your medication options
Every patient is unique, which is why your licensed healthcare provider evaluates your health history to determine the right clinical pathway. Here is a breakdown of the primary medication options available through modern medical weight management:
Semaglutide
What it is
A well-established, once-weekly injectable peptide that acts primarily on the GLP-1 receptor to regulate appetite and reduce caloric intake.
The single compound
Available through specialized compounding pharmacies when prescribed, offering a customized clinical pathway for appropriate patients.
Tirzepatide
What it is
A next-generation dual-action therapy that targets multiple hormone receptors simultaneously — specifically both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors.
Why it matters
By engaging two distinct metabolic pathways involved in blood sugar management and satiety, tirzepatide offers an alternative mechanism that some patients respond uniquely well to.
Understanding brand names vs. compounded options
Branded medications
Products such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are FDA-approved, brand-name pharmaceutical products manufactured by their original creators under strict commercial drug application processes.
Compounded medications
If a compounded medication is prescribed through your plan, it is custom-prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality in the same way as commercial brand-name drugs. A compounded medication should never be represented as a generic version, exact copy, or equivalent to an FDA-approved branded drug.
The goal is not just “eat less”
The better goal is to make your weight-management plan easier to live with. For an appropriate patient, a GLP-1 medication may become one tool inside that plan.
“I want food to take up less space in my day.”
Your treatment plan addresses appetite biology rather than relying entirely on another set of diet rules.
“I want to stop losing the same weight over and over.”
Embrace gives you tools to work on the behaviors surrounding treatment, not just the prescription.
“I want to know whether I’m actually making progress.”
Track more than a random weigh-in. Use the Embrace ecosystem to follow your progress over time.
“I want to eat better without turning every meal into homework.”
Use nutrition tools inside the app to help make daily decisions simpler.
“I want a plan that works in real life.”
Because vacations, restaurants, stressful days, birthdays, and busy weeks are part of life.
This is where Embrace is different
There are plenty of places willing to sell access to weight-loss medication. That alone is not our idea of weight management.
Your Embrace experience connects the prescription to the rest of the work.
Medical treatment
A licensed healthcare provider reviews your information and determines whether a GLP-1 medication is medically appropriate for you.
Nutrition support
Use Embrace tools to better understand what you are eating and work toward appropriate nutrition and protein goals.
Movement and fitness
Build activity into your plan instead of treating exercise as punishment for eating.
Progress you can actually see
Track changes over time rather than letting one bathroom-scale number decide whether you are succeeding.
Ongoing engagement
Use goals, progress tools, and the broader Embrace experience to stay engaged beyond the initial excitement of starting treatment. The medication is one tool. The system around it is what turns treatment into a plan.

Common questions
Are GLP-1s right for everyone?
No. Your clinician should review your medical history, current medications, contraindications, risks, and treatment goals before recommending any therapy.
How do semaglutide and tirzepatide differ?
Semaglutide focuses on the GLP-1 receptor pathway, while tirzepatide targets both GLP-1 and GIP hormone receptors. Your provider decides which mechanism fits your health profile.
Is compounded medication FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not evaluated by the FDA in the same manner as commercial branded drugs. They should not be marketed or viewed as generic equivalents to brand-name products.
Does medication replace diet and exercise?
No. Weight-management medication should always be considered within a broader clinical and behavioral plan.
After the weight comes off
The scale can go down while the mirror still disappoints you.
Losing weight and changing body composition are not the same thing. Two people can weigh exactly the same and look completely different, because scale weight does not describe how much of the loss was fat and how much was lean tissue.
If you have done the hard part and still feel like you got smaller rather than stronger, that is a separate conversation — about protein, resistance training, recovery, and whether a prescription like sermorelin belongs in the plan at all. Your clinician decides that, not a product page.
Sermorelin is not a GLP-1 and is not a weight-loss medication. Compounded sermorelin is not FDA approved.
Stop asking yourself to win the same fight every day
You can start another diet. You can download another app. You can promise yourself Monday will be different. There is nothing wrong with doing that if it works.
But if you already know where that cycle tends to lead, there is another reasonable next step. Not buying medication. Not committing for life. Just finding out whether medical treatment is appropriate for you.

Important safety information
Prescription medication is available only after evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider who determines that treatment is medically appropriate. Individual results vary. No specific weight-loss result is guaranteed.
GLP-1 medications may cause adverse effects and are not appropriate for everyone. Patients should review all warnings, contraindications, medication interactions, pregnancy considerations, and treatment-specific risks with their prescribing clinician. Emergency symptoms require appropriate emergency medical care.
If a compounded medication is prescribed: Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed in the same manner as FDA-approved drugs. A compounded medication should not be described or represented as a generic version of, identical to, equivalent to, or the same as an FDA-approved branded medication.
