GLP-1, Semaglutide & Tirzepatide Weight Loss Program in West Miami, Westchester & Coral Gables | LegacyMD

Transform Your Metabolism with Science-Backed Weight Loss at LegacyMD

At LegacyMD, we understand that weight loss is more than just calories in and out. It’s about hormones, metabolism, and long-term health. That’s why we offer medical weight loss programs powered by GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) — groundbreaking medications that help you lose weight safely, effectively, and sustainably.

If you’ve struggled with weight despite diet and exercise, our physician-guided program may be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

What are GLP-1 medications and how do they work?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in your body that regulates appetite, insulin, and digestion. GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic this hormone, helping:

• Suppress appetite
• Slow gastric emptying
• Improve blood sugar control
• Increase insulin sensitivity

The result? You feel full sooner, eat less, and naturally lose weight — all while supporting metabolic health.

What’s the difference between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Both medications are highly effective, but they work slightly differently:

• Semaglutide (brand names Ozempic®, Wegovy®): A GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps reduce appetite and promote weight loss. It is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions.
• Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro®): A dual GLP-1/GIP agonist that goes even further in supporting insulin control and appetite regulation. Early studies suggest it may lead to greater weight loss than Semaglutide in many patients.

At LegacyMD, your provider will help determine which option is best for your body, goals, and health profile.

Who is a candidate for medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications?

You may be eligible for treatment if you:

• Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions (like high blood pressure, insulin resistance, PCOS, or joint pain)
• Have a BMI over 30 (obesity)
• Have struggled to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone
• Are looking for a medically supervised, evidence-based program

During your consultation at LegacyMD, we’ll review your health history, perform lab work, and design a personalized weight loss strategy to match your needs.

What results can I expect?

Most patients lose 1–3 pounds per week, with studies showing average weight loss of:

• 15–20% of total body weight with Tirzepatide over time
• 10–15% with Semaglutide

Beyond the scale, many patients experience better energy, blood sugar balance, reduced cravings, and improved quality of life.

What does LegacyMD’s weight loss program include?

Our comprehensive approach combines:

• Medical Evaluation & Lab Work
• Weekly or Biweekly GLP-1 Injections (or prescription for at-home use)
• Ongoing Progress Monitoring
• Lifestyle Coaching and Nutrition Support
• Adjustments & Safety Oversight by experienced medical professionals

Are there side effects?

Like any medication, GLP-1s can cause side effects. The most common include:

• Nausea
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Decreased appetite
• Fatigue

These usually improve as your body adjusts. At LegacyMD, we start with low doses and increase gradually to minimize discomfort and ensure your safety.
