GLP-1 Weight Loss
The Smarter Way
If you have tried to lose weight and the scale just won't move, the problem usually isn't willpower. It's biology.
GLP-1 weight loss treatment works with your body's own hormones to quiet appetite and steady blood sugar, and for a lot of our Sarasota patients, it's the first approach that has actually worked.
At Rx Weight Loss & Wellness, a physician supervises every GLP-1 program, with plans
starting at $66 a week
when it's medically appropriate.
What Are GLP-1 Medications?
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone your gut releases after you eat. It tells your brain you're full and slows how fast your stomach empties. Medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide copy that signal, so you feel satisfied on less food and the constant food noise quiets down. They were first developed for type 2 diabetes. The weight results turned out to be strong enough that they're now a central tool in medical weight management.
Actual Patients - Individual results vary.
Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide at a Glance
Both are once-weekly injections. Semaglutide acts on one receptor. Tirzepatide acts on two, and in head-to-head studies it tends to produce more weight loss on average. That doesn't make one of them the right answer for everyone. The better fit depends on your health history, how your body responds, how you tolerate side effects, and cost. We help you work through that instead of guessing.

What to Expect:
Our Physician-Supervised Program
It starts with your $49 initial wellness exam. We review your health, run the labs that matter, and build a plan around you. You start at a low dose, and we adjust over time, checking in so side effects stay manageable and progress stays on track. You're not handed a prescription and sent off alone. A physician follows you the whole way.
Who Is a Candidate for
GLP-1 Therapy?
Most adults carrying extra weight, especially anyone who has struggled with appetite, cravings, or weight that creeps back after every diet. We look at your medical history, current medications, and goals before recommending anything. Some people aren't a fit, and we'll tell you honestly if that's you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can I expect to lose on a GLP-1?
Results vary, but many patients lose 10 to 20 percent of their body weight over several months when treatment is paired with the lifestyle support we build in.
Is semaglutide or tirzepatide better?
Neither is best for everyone. Tirzepatide tends to drive more average weight loss, but the right choice comes down to your history, response, and cost. Your physician helps you decide.

They have a well-studied safety record under medical supervision. Side effects are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts, which is exactly why we monitor you.
