Your Medical Weight Loss Provider in Tampa
Palm Wellness Center offers medically supervised weight loss that works with your body—not against it. Programs are led by a licensed medical provider with advanced training in nutrition and metabolic health, and can include GLP‑1 medications, personalized nutrition plans, and activity guidance coordinated with our chiropractic and rehabilitation teams.
Whether you are managing obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight‑related fatigue, your visits are unhurried so your provider can listen, explain options clearly, and build a plan that supports long‑term results—not quick fixes.
Our Weight Loss Services
Complete Medical Weight Management
Our program starts with a detailed medical evaluation focused on your body’s unique needs, including medical history, medications, blood pressure, and metabolic health. Your provider then builds a personalized plan to support sustainable weight loss and reduce disease risk through nutrition, movement, and ongoing follow‑up.
- Metabolism and health risk assessment
- Personalized nutrition and lifestyle coaching
- Prescription weight loss medications, when appropriate
- Coordinated physical activity guidance
- Regular progress monitoring and treatment adjustments
GLP-1 Medication Therapy
Some patients may qualify for GLP‑1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide under medical supervision. These therapies help regulate appetite, support healthier eating patterns, and improve metabolic function.
- Semaglutide: Helps reduce appetite and support sustained weight loss
- Tirzepatide: Targets multiple hunger hormones and supports blood sugar control
- Coordinated with rehabilitation services when needed
Important Safety Information
GLP‑1 medications are not right for everyone; your provider will determine whether they are appropriate based on your health history, goals, and current conditions.
Common side effects may include:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Stomach discomfort or bloating
- Decreased appetite
Rare but serious side effects:
- Pancreatitis
- Kidney problems
- Vision changes
- Thyroid tumors (seen in animal studies)
Your provider will monitor your response and adjust your care plan as needed. A thorough medical evaluation is required before prescribing any GLP‑1 medication.
Medication costs are separate from the monthly program fee and are filled through your pharmacy or compounding facility; your provider will review options, pricing, and available cost‑saving programs during your consultation.
Lab Testing & Health Monitoring
Your provider orders and interprets lab work to better understand your metabolic health, including: metabolic panels, thyroid function tests, blood sugar and diabetes screening, lipid and cardiovascular markers, and hormone levels.
Results are reviewed with you in person or via telemedicine, with clear explanations and evidence‑based recommendations, and coordination with local labs or trusted facilities when needed.
Prescription Management
When medications are prescribed, your provider reviews potential interactions, monitors side effects, and coordinates with your pharmacy.
Prescription weight loss medications are used only when clinically appropriate, and visits include discussion of pricing and available cost‑saving programs to help keep treatment accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to start the weight loss program?
No referral is required to enroll in the medical weight loss program. If you need coordination with your existing healthcare providers or specialists, our team can help facilitate communication.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a valid ID, current medication list, and any relevant medical records from previous providers. If you have recent lab work, we can review those results during your visit.
Do you accept insurance for weight loss services?
Our medical weight loss program operates on a direct‑pay basis. This allows us to provide extended appointment times and personalized care without insurance restrictions. Some patients choose to submit receipts to their insurance for possible reimbursement; our team can provide visit documentation if needed, but coverage is not guaranteed.
How much does the Medical Weight Loss Program cost?
The program is $100 per month with a 3‑month minimum enrollment. This includes your initial 60‑minute consultation, regular follow‑up appointments, metabolic monitoring, nutrition coaching, and ongoing support. Prescription medications (when prescribed) are billed separately through your pharmacy, and your provider will discuss options and costs during your consultation.
How much do weight loss medications cost?
Medication costs vary based on the specific medication prescribed, dosage, pharmacy choice, and available manufacturer savings programs. Costs typically range from $25–$300+ per month, depending on these factors. Your provider will help you explore cost‑saving options if medication therapy is recommended.
Can I see my provider via telemedicine?
Yes, telemedicine visits are available throughout Florida for follow-ups, medication management, lab review, and progress monitoring. Some visits require in-person assessment—your provider will determine the appropriate visit type.
How long are appointments?
Initial consultations are 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 30–45 minutes. This extended time allows for thorough evaluation, education, and treatment planning.
What if I have other health conditions?
Our medical provider evaluates your complete health profile, including chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disorders. Weight loss plans are tailored to your medical needs and coordinated with your existing care team when appropriate.
Do I need to be a primary care member to enroll in medical weight loss?
No. Medical weight loss is available as a standalone program. However, primary care members may receive discounts on additional medical services—ask about membership benefits during your consultation.
What happens after the 3-month program?
Many patients continue month-to-month for ongoing support, medication management, and accountability. Your provider will discuss the best approach for long-term success based on your progress and goals.
Am I a candidate for GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone. Candidates are typically evaluated based on BMI, medical history, current medications, and overall health status. Your provider will conduct a thorough assessment during your initial consultation to determine if GLP-1 therapy is safe and appropriate for you.
