GLP-1 and metabolic weight management in Florida — evaluated, prescribed, and monitored by a licensed nurse practitioner, by secure video. No crash plans, no gimmicks: a supervised medical program. Individual results vary, and GLP-1 therapy isn't right for everyone. In Florida, a licensed provider can prescribe by telehealth when it's clinically appropriate — a separate in-person visit is not automatically required.
Medical weight loss means a licensed provider — not an app or a subscription box — evaluates your health, builds a plan, and supervises it. For many people that includes a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of prescription medication that acts on appetite and satiety pathways; in studies it has been associated with reduced appetite and earlier fullness for many people. Effects and suitability vary by individual.
The two most common are semaglutide (a GLP-1 agonist) and tirzepatide (a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist). Both are given as a once-weekly injection. Which option — if any — is right for you depends on your history and an evaluation. Medication is one tool in a plan, alongside the lifestyle guidance that makes it last.
Some formulations are FDA-approved brand medications. Compounded versions are not FDA-approved for safety or efficacy, and the federal rules governing them are actively changing. We prescribe only what is clinically appropriate and lawfully available for you at the time of your care.
Your history, medications, labs when indicated, and goals — reviewed by a nurse practitioner who determines whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you.
If appropriate, a prescription is sent to your pharmacy — with the benefits, risks, dosing, and side effects explained up front. Medication is never one-size-fits-all.
Weight and metabolism can shift with hormonal changes, including during perimenopause and menopause. Your evaluation considers the whole picture — not just the scale.
Dose adjustments, side-effect management, and check-ins over time. This is a supervised process — not a script and a shrug.

Yes. GLP-1 medications require a medical evaluation and a prescription from a licensed provider — they are not available over the counter.
Yes — semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications typically self-administered as a once-weekly injection. Your provider shows you how.
Both are injectable prescription medications used for weight management. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist; tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Which is appropriate for you — if either — is a decision your provider makes based on your history and goals.
Candidacy is determined by an evaluation of your health history, current medications, and goals. GLP-1 therapy is not appropriate for everyone, including some people with certain medical or family histories. That is exactly what the consultation determines.
Clinically Clear is self-pay and does not bill insurance. Insurer coverage for GLP-1 weight management is limited and varies. We can provide an itemized superbill on request.
Commonly reported effects include nausea, constipation or diarrhea, and reduced appetite — most often when starting or increasing a dose. Less common but serious risks are also associated with this class of medication, and some people should not take it due to certain medical or family histories (for example, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2). Your provider reviews the specific risks with you before any prescription. Individual results and tolerability vary.
It is elective, self-pay, and not typically covered by insurance. Based on publicly advertised 2026 telehealth pricing, ranges generally seen are an initial consultation around $99–$300, lab work $100–$300 when indicated, and a monthly medication program that varies by medication and dose. This is general market context, not a Clinically Clear price list — your plan and its cost are set at your consultation.
