Weight-Loss Programs in Tampa, FL

We know that life can seem like a repetitive cycle of waking up, eating, working and sleeping. And that the daily grind can leave us wondering how to find time to lose excess weight.

SEMAGLUTIDE - TIRZEPATIDE - RETATRUTIDE

At Optimal Wellness, we offer physician-guided medical weight loss solutions designed to help you lose weight safely, effectively, and sustainably. Our most popular options — Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide — work by targeting hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism.

While all three medications support weight loss, each works a little differently. Our providers help you choose the option that best fits your goals, lifestyle, and medical history.

HOW THESE MEDICATIONS WORK

All three medications help with weight loss by:

Reducing appetite and cravings
Helping you feel full longer
Supporting healthier blood sugar regulation
Making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit without constant hunger

They are taken as once-weekly injections and are combined with lifestyle guidance for best results.

SEMAGLUTIDE

Best for: Steady, reliable weight loss and appetite control

Semaglutide works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which plays a key role in regulating hunger and fullness. It slows digestion and signals your brain that you’re satisfied sooner and for longer.

Benefits:

Proven weight loss results
Helps reduce cravings and emotional eating
Supports blood sugar balance
Well-studied and widely prescribed

What to Expect:

Gradual, sustainable weight loss
Once-weekly injection
Ideal for patients new to medical weight loss

TIRZEPATIDE

Best for: Enhanced weight loss and stronger appetite suppression

Tirzepatide targets two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), which can lead to greater appetite control and improved metabolic response compared to single-hormone options.

Benefits:

More powerful appetite suppression
May lead to faster or greater weight loss than Semaglutide
Improves insulin sensitivity
Helps regulate blood sugar more efficiently

What to Expect:

Once-weekly injection
Often chosen by patients who want more aggressive results
Can be ideal if progress has stalled on other options

RETATRUTIDE

Best for: Advanced metabolic support and maximum weight loss potential

Retatrutide is a next-generation medication that works on three hormone pathways (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon). This triple-action approach supports appetite control while also increasing metabolic activity.
