What Are Semaglutide and
Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Two of the most potentially effective weight loss injections include Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. While both might help you lose weight, they work in slightly different ways:

Semaglutide

This FDA-approved medication mimics a natural hormone in the body (GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1) to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Semaglutide helps reduce cravings, control portion sizes, and support steady weight loss through once-weekly injections.

Tirzepatide

Another groundbreaking option, Tirzepatide works by activating hormones (GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1 and GLP, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. This weekly injection supports gradual weight loss and helps you feel fuller longer, making it easier to achieve your goals.

Your Appointment

Your first appointment at Brisk Wellness begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals. We will conduct hormone-level testing to identify any imbalances, and if found to be a candidate for treatment, we will develop a customized plan. 

Once your plan is in place, you’ll begin receiving bioidentical hormone therapy as a cream. Regular follow-ups make sure your treatment stays effective and is adjusted as needed.

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, but some individuals might experience:

Weight Loss Solutions FAQs -
Brisk Wellness in Largo

Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide safe for weight loss?

Yes, both medications are FDA-approved for weight loss and have been proven safe and effective when administered under the care of a medical professional.

If you are in Largo and looking for a structured weight loss program, our team of licensed professionals is here to help. We begin with an in-depth consultation to assess your health and determine if Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is the right fit for your needs.

Individuals in Largo who use these injections can experience several advantages, including reduced appetite, decreased caloric intake, better insulin control, and stabilized glucose levels. When paired with a balanced diet and regular exercise, these treatments can significantly enhance your weight loss results.

The FDA has authorized Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss in adults 18 and older who maintain good overall health but struggle with excess weight due to certain medical concerns, such as:
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
For residents of Largo, these treatments may not be appropriate if they have any of the following health conditions:
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2
  • Allergic reactions to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or their components

Your weight loss plan is carefully crafted by evaluating your specific goals, habits, and any past barriers to success. We then personalize your treatment using either Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to promote safe and effective weight loss while supporting long-term weight maintenance.

For Largo residents, our team will conduct regular progress evaluations every week. If your body requires adjustments in dosage, we will modify your treatment plan accordingly to help you stay on track toward achieving your ideal weight.

Most patients begin seeing changes within the first few weeks, while continued progress unfolds over several months. However, the speed at which results appear depends on numerous factors, such as:
  • Age
  • Body composition
  • Lifestyle habits
  • Overall wellness
  • Pre-existing health conditions
  • Eating habits
  • Physical activity level
  • Any medications currently being taken
For residents of Largo, some individuals may see significant changes sooner than others. Weight loss timelines are different for everyone, and individual results will vary.
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are once-weekly injections. Patients may self-administer after receiving thorough instruction from us, or they may choose to receive their injections in the clinic. To minimize injection site discomfort, rotating between the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs is advised.
If you miss an injection, contact us as soon as possible for advice on when to take your next dose. Consistency is key to ensuring steady progress in your weight loss journey.
While these injections help regulate appetite, they work most effectively alongside a healthy diet and exercise routine. We offer expert guidance on proper nutrition and lifestyle habits to help you maximize the benefits of your treatment and maintain your results.
As with any prescription medication, those taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss may experience certain side effects, which include:
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Mild abdominal discomfort
  • Headache
These effects are generally manageable, and your treatment plan is designed to help minimize them. The regimen begins with a low dosage to allow your body to adjust to the medication gradually. Over time, as your body builds tolerance, the dosage may be increased to help you achieve the best possible weight loss results with minimal discomfort.

Each person’s weight loss journey is different, and the length of time you need to take Semaglutide or Tirzepatide will depend on factors like your goals, health status, lifestyle, and any previous challenges you’ve faced with weight management. Your treatment is tailored specifically to your needs and will be adjusted as necessary.

We will track your progress throughout the course of treatment, modifying the dosage or other aspects of your regimen to ensure safe and steady results. Some individuals in Largo may see significant progress early on, while others may require a longer treatment duration to reach their ideal weight.

At your consultation, we will provide an initial estimate for how long you’ll need weight loss injections. This plan will be revisited as you continue your journey to ensure lasting success and sustainable weight management.
