Overview

Medical Weight Loss Backed by Science

GLP-1 receptor agonists are changing the way we approach weight loss. Originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, these medications have become powerful tools for reducing appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and helping patients shed weight effectively. At our Tampa clinic, we use GLPs as part of a medically supervised program that pairs medication with nutrition and lifestyle support for long-term success.

How GLPs Works

GLPs (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonists) mimic a natural hormone your body uses to regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar. By slowing gastric emptying and signaling fullness sooner, they help you feel satisfied with smaller portions. They also support insulin regulation and reduce food cravings. When combined with a modified diet and provider oversight, GLPs can lead to meaningful weight loss.

Power Weight Loss with GLPs

GLP medications help address the hormonal and metabolic challenges that make weight loss difficult, especially when diet and exercise alone haven’t worked.

  • Reduces persistent food cravings
  • Supports blood sugar regulation
  • Slows digestion for better portion control
  • Promotes long-term fat reduction
  • Addresses metabolic resistance
  • Improves energy and mood

The Right GLP Medication for You

We’ll help you choose the right GLP based on your medical history, weight loss goals, and how your body responds to treatment. At Tampa Bay Wellness, we support sustained weight loss with advanced medications that tackle underlying metabolic pathways, rather than quick-fix stimulants that don’t prove effective in the longterm.

Are GLPs for You?

If you’ve struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, or if insulin resistance or appetite dysregulation is part of your health picture, GLPs could be an effective next step. These medications are best for individuals ready to commit to long-term change with ongoing medical guidance.

Ideal for:
  • Those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
  • Patients experiencing metabolic resistance
  • Individuals with a history of unsuccessful weight loss
  • People seeking non-stimulant, hormone-based support
  • Effective whether you aim to lose 5 pounds or hundreds

How to Prepare for GLPs in Tampa

Begin with a consultation to review your health history, discuss your goals, and determine your eligibility. If GLPs are a good fit, we’ll order any necessary lab work, review potential side effects, and guide you through your first injection. You’ll also receive nutrition tips, dosing instructions, and regular check-ins for safe, effective progress.

FAQ’s


How long before I see results?

You may notice reduced appetite within the first 1–2 weeks, with visible weight changes typically starting after 4–6 weeks.

Are GLP medications safe?

Yes. These medications are FDA-approved for diabetes and weight loss in specific formulations. We monitor your health throughout treatment.

Can I eat normally?

You’ll follow a modified Mediterranean-style plan with support from our team. No extreme diets—just smart, sustainable eating.

Do I need to exercise?

Movement is encouraged but not required for the medication to work. We’ll help you incorporate realistic activity that fits your lifestyle.

What are common side effects?

Mild nausea, fullness, or constipation are possible early on and often resolve with time or dose adjustments.

Is this covered by insurance?

Some plans may cover brand-name options like Wegovy®. We also offer affordable cash-pay pricing.

How is this different from older weight loss medications?

GLPs work on your hormones, not your nervous system, so they’re gentler, non-stimulant, and support lasting change.

Can I stop taking GLPs eventually?

Many patients taper off once new habits are established. We help create a long-term maintenance plan so you keep your results.
