PHYSICIAN-GUIDED MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS IN ORLANDO

Tirzepatide is the active medication found in both Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. The medication itself is the same, but the FDA-approved indications differ. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes, while Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management. During your consultation, we'll determine whether Tirzepatide is an appropriate option based on your medical history, goals, and current health status.

Results vary from person to person, but many patients experience significant weight loss when Tirzepatide is combined with proper nutrition, adequate protein intake, regular physical activity, and ongoing medical guidance. Clinical studies have shown average weight loss ranging from approximately 15% to over 20% of body weight in some patients. Your results will depend on factors such as your starting weight, metabolic health, consistency, and lifestyle habits.

Weight regain is possible after stopping any weight loss medication if the underlying causes of weight gain have not been addressed. That is why we focus on more than just the medication. Our goal is to help you improve your nutrition, preserve muscle mass, optimize hormones when appropriate, and develop sustainable habits that support long-term success. Some patients eventually transition off medication, while others benefit from maintenance therapy.

Yes. In many cases, Tirzepatide and hormone optimization work very well together. Hormonal changes involving estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid function, and cortisol can contribute to weight gain, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, poor sleep, and difficulty losing weight. Addressing both metabolic health and hormone balance often produces better results than focusing on either one alone.

Any significant weight loss can result in some loss of lean muscle mass if appropriate precautions are not taken. This is not unique to Tirzepatide. At Foundations, we emphasize muscle preservation through adequate protein intake, resistance training, body composition monitoring, and individualized treatment plans. Our goal is not simply to make the number on the scale smaller. We want to help you lose fat while maintaining the muscle that supports metabolism, strength, mobility, and healthy aging.
