That “Last 20 Pounds” Feeling? We Know It All Too Well.
You’ve tried it all. The calorie counting, the cardio, the “clean eating” plans that made you question your will to live. You’ve said no to birthday cake, yes to green juice, and still… that scale seems stuck. Or worse—it creeps back up the minute you blink.
If that’s you, you’re not lazy. You’re not failing. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just up against a body and metabolism that’s been through some things—maybe stress, maybe hormones, maybe years of dieting that messed with your natural rhythm.
Here at My Wellness Studio in Leesburg, FL, we’ve been seeing more and more clients in this exact spot. And what we’re offering them isn’t just another restrictive plan—it’s science-backed support with medications that are shifting the weight loss conversation completely: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
Let’s break down what they are, how they work, and why they’re helping so many people finally move past the plateau.
So… What Exactly Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Let me explain it in plain English.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are medications originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes. But researchers quickly noticed something else: people taking these meds were losing significant amounts of weight—and not just water weight or muscle, but actual fat.
Here’s how they work:
- Both meds mimic hormones your body naturally produces after you eat (like GLP-1 and, in Tirzepatide’s case, GIP too).
- These hormones tell your brain you’re full and slow down digestion so you stay satisfied longer.
- They also help regulate blood sugar and reduce insulin spikes, which makes a big difference for fat storage and cravings.
Basically? They help you eat less, feel full longer, and quiet the chaotic rollercoaster of hunger, blood sugar crashes, and snacky impulsiveness.
Why They’re Different from Other “Weight Loss” Methods
Here’s the thing—these aren’t magic pills. They’re not appetite suppressants that make you feel jittery or kill your sleep. They’re not crash diets in injectable form. And they’re not for someone looking to lose five pounds for a wedding.
But if you’re someone who:
- Has 20+ pounds to lose and has struggled for years
- Feels like your metabolism is stuck in slow motion
- Has insulin resistance, PCOS, or other hormone imbalances
- Gains weight even while eating healthy
- Is ready to get real, measurable results with medical supervision
…then Semaglutide or Tirzepatide might be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
And the results? We’re talking real, sustainable weight loss. Many clients are losing 10–20% of their total body weight—and keeping it off when paired with healthy habits.
What’s the Difference Between the Two?
Both medications are incredible tools, but they’re not interchangeable. Think of them like siblings: similar, but with different strengths.
Semaglutide (often known under brand names like Ozempic or Wegovy):
- Focuses solely on the GLP-1 receptor
- Helps curb appetite, reduce cravings, and stabilize blood sugar
- Has been widely studied for weight loss with strong results
Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro):
- Targets two receptors: GLP-1 and GIP
- Offers more robust blood sugar control and even greater weight loss in many cases
- May be more effective for people with more significant insulin resistance
At My Wellness Studio, we’ll help you figure out which one’s the right fit based on your body, your history, and your goals. No guessing. No pressure. Just a plan that works with you, not against you.
What Does a Treatment Plan Look Like?
Good question. And no—it’s not “walk in, get a shot, walk out.” This is personalized, medically guided care.
Here’s how it works:
- Initial consultation: We sit down and talk about your history, challenges, and goals. This isn’t a five-minute drive-thru visit.
- Lab work (if needed): To understand your metabolic markers, thyroid function, glucose levels, and more.
- Customized prescription: We determine whether Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is right for you and start with a carefully tapered dose.
- Weekly injections: These are typically self-administered at home with our guidance and support.
- Ongoing check-ins: We monitor your progress, adjust dosage if needed, and support you with nutrition, hydration, and mindset strategies.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all weight loss program. It’s a collaboration between you and our team to make sure you succeed safely and sustainably.
What About Side Effects?
Like with any medication, there can be some side effects—most commonly:
- Mild nausea
- Bloating or constipation
- Appetite changes
- Fatigue (usually temporary during adjustment)
But here’s the thing: most of these are manageable, especially when you’re guided by a provider who knows what to expect and how to adjust your plan accordingly.
We don’t just hand you a box and wish you luck. We’re here with real, human support to help you through the process.
Why This Isn’t Just About Weight
Let’s pause for a second. Yes, losing weight can be a huge physical relief. Less pressure on your joints. Better sleep. More energy. Better blood pressure.
But what hits hardest? The confidence. The mental clarity. The relief of feeling like your body is finally working with you instead of against you.
This is about more than pant size. It’s about reclaiming your life.
