Tirzepatide Weight Loss in Tampa
What is Tirzepatide and How Does it Support Weight Loss
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist that provides powerful support for appetite control, glucose regulation, and fat loss. At Tampa Bay Total Wellness, we use tirzepatide in a supervised weight loss program that supports both weight and metabolic health for patients across Tampa and South Tampa.
Overview
What is Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide activates two hormone pathways: GLP-1, which helps control appetite and blood sugar, and GIP, which works with insulin and fat metabolism. This dual action helps reduce hunger, stabilize energy, and improve metabolic markers in a way that many patients find more effective compared to single pathway medications.
Benefits of tirzepatide at our South Tampa wellness clinic
- Strong appetite and craving control
- Support for insulin resistance and blood sugar balance
- Significant weight loss when combined with nutrition and activity
- Potential improvements in cholesterol and blood pressure
- Metabolic benefits that extend beyond the scale
Who is a Good Candidate
You may be a candidate for tirzepatide if you:
- Have had limited results with diet alone
- Have metabolic concerns such as prediabetes, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes
- Want a science backed approach guided by a medical team
- Prefer a structured plan with clear expectations and follow up
Our providers will review your history, medications, and labs to determine if tirzepatide is appropriate.
What to Expect
- Weeks 2 to 4: cravings soften and blood sugar swings may begin to improve
- Weeks 4 to 8: weight begins to trend down as appetite and portions stabilize
- Weeks 12 and beyond: many patients see significant improvements in weight, waist measurements, and energy
