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.

What To Expect During
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.

Potential
Side Effects

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

  • Mild nausea or upset stomach, especially early in treatment
  • Temporary fatigue or dizziness
  • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

We will work with you to manage any side effects and make adjustments to your treatment plan if needed.

Weight Loss Solutions FAQs -
Brisk Wellness in Tampa

Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide safe for weight loss?

Absolutely. These FDA-approved medications have been extensively studied and proven to be both safe and effective when used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.

At our Tampa clinic, our licensed medical weight loss professionals are committed to prioritizing your health and well-being. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess whether you’re an ideal candidate for one of these groundbreaking weight loss treatments.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide contribute to weight loss in several ways, including appetite suppression, reduced calorie consumption, and improved insulin and glucose regulation. When paired with a structured low-calorie diet and regular exercise, these medications can significantly enhance your weight management efforts.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved for adults 18 and older who are generally healthy but classified as overweight or obese, particularly those managing weight-related health concerns, including:
  • High blood pressure
  • Elevated cholesterol levels
  • Cardiovascular conditions
  • Type 2 diabetes
However, these medications may not be appropriate for everyone. Individuals in Tampa with the following medical conditions should not use Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss:
  • Gallbladder disease
  • A history of thyroid cancer
  • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2
  • Allergic reactions to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or any of their ingredients

In Tampa, your personalized weight loss plan is designed with your unique goals, daily habits, and past challenges in mind. By tailoring a treatment regimen with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, we ensure a safe and effective approach to helping you achieve and sustain your ideal weight.

Once you start your prescribed weight loss program, our team closely tracks your weekly progress to assess how your body responds to the medication. If needed, we make dosage adjustments to optimize your results while prioritizing your overall well-being.

Patients in the Tampa area often notice initial changes within the first few weeks, with steady weight loss continuing over several months. However, the timeframe for visible progress depends on multiple factors, such as:
  • Age
  • Starting weight
  • Daily habits and lifestyle choices
  • General health condition
  • Medical history
  • Dietary intake and calorie consumption
  • Activity levels and exercise routines
  • Other prescribed medications taken during treatment
While some individuals in Tampa may experience quicker shifts in both weight and A1C levels, it’s important to understand that outcomes can vary from person to person.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both administered as once-weekly injections. Patients can choose to receive injections in the clinic or learn how to self-administer them at home. For those opting for self-injections, it is recommended to rotate between the thighs, upper arms, and abdomen to reduce discomfort and avoid irritation at the injection site.
If you happen to miss a dose, reach out to us for guidance on when to take your next injection. Maintaining a consistent schedule is essential for achieving the best possible results.
Although these injections help regulate appetite, they are most effective when paired with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. We provide personalized recommendations to help you make lifestyle changes that enhance the effects of your treatment. Healthy eating habits and routine exercise play a vital role in maximizing the benefits of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, helping you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals long-term.
Patients using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight management may experience certain side effects, including:
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Mild abdominal discomfort
  • Headache
While these reactions are common, the treatment plan begins with a low starting dose to allow your body time to adjust, helping to minimize potential discomfort. As your system adapts and the regimen progresses, dosage levels may be carefully increased to ensure you receive the full benefits of the prescribed weight loss medication.

The duration of your treatment with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide depends on several factors, including your personal weight loss objectives, existing health conditions, lifestyle patterns, and any unique challenges that have impacted your progress. Your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs, and adjustments may be made based on how your body responds over time.

For individuals in Tampa, we closely track your progress with these medical weight loss injections, fine-tuning your dosage or other aspects of the regimen as needed. Some patients achieve their goals more quickly, while others may require a longer course of treatment to see optimal results.

At your initial consultation, our team will outline a customized treatment approach with an estimated timeframe for achieving and maintaining your ideal weight. As you advance through your weight loss program, we will reassess and refine this plan to support lasting, sustainable success.
