GLP-1 Weight Loss Program in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are transforming medical weight loss, but results depend entirely on the right protocol, the right monitoring, and the right support. At Cima Health in Palm Beach Gardens, our medically supervised GLP-1 weight loss program delivers all three.
What Is GLP-1 Therapy?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are among the most effective weight loss medications available. In large clinical trials, average weight loss was about 15 percent with semaglutide and about 20 percent with tirzepatide at the highest doses, over roughly 68 to 72 weeks. Individual results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is semaglutide and how does it help with weight loss?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural gut hormone to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and regulate blood sugar. It is the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy and has been shown in clinical trials to produce average weight loss of 15 percent or more over 68 weeks.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Studies suggest tirzepatide may produce greater average weight loss. We discuss the options during your consultation based on your health history and goals.
What are the side effects of GLP-1 weight loss injections?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal, including nausea, mild stomach discomfort, and constipation, particularly in the early weeks as your dose increases. Starting with a low dose and increasing gradually significantly reduces side effects for most patients.
How much weight can I expect to lose on GLP-1 therapy?
In large clinical trials, average weight loss was about 15 percent with semaglutide and about 20 percent with tirzepatide over 68 to 72 weeks. Individual results vary. Individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence, diet, and activity level. Lifestyle changes alongside the medication improve outcomes significantly.
