What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a clinically supervised program that uses prescription medications, lab work, and personalized nutrition and fitness guidance to help patients lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss is overseen by a licensed healthcare provider who tailors the treatment to your body, your health history, and your goals.

People typically seek medical weight loss when:

  • Diet and exercise alone have not produced meaningful results
  • A provider has recommended weight loss for a specific health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
  • They want a structured, medically supervised plan rather than trying to figure it out alone
  • They are interested in prescription options such as GLP-1 medications or phentermine

According to the CDC, more than 40% of American adults have obesity, a condition linked to serious long-term health risks. Medical weight loss programs provide a clinically supported path to address this condition with real, measurable outcomes.

Medical Weight Loss in Florida: What Florida Residents Need to Know

Florida is one of the most diverse and densely populated states in the country, and the demand for accessible, convenient healthcare has never been higher. Whether you live in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, or a smaller community across the state, getting to an in-person weight loss clinic can mean long drives, limited availability, and extended wait times.

Invite Wellness eliminates those barriers entirely. As a telehealth-first practice, we bring expert medical weight loss care directly to Florida residents through secure video appointments you can attend from home, your car, or anywhere with a connection.

Florida residents also face specific lifestyle and environmental factors that can make weight management more difficult, including a year-round warm climate that can disrupt sleep patterns, high rates of processed food consumption, and a healthcare landscape that does not always prioritize preventive or lifestyle-based care. Our program is designed to address the whole person, not just the number on the scale. 

How Invite Wellness Helps Florida Patients Lose Weight

Step 1: New Client Intake Appointment ($175)

Your journey starts with a comprehensive new client intake appointment. During this virtual visit, Anastasiya Lyudkevich, CRNP-BC, will review your medical history, current dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and weight loss goals. If lab work is needed, you will receive a lab slip to visit your nearest LabCorp location for testing.

This appointment gives us the full picture we need to recommend the right treatment plan for your body.

Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan

After your intake, we will walk you through your options and the associated costs so you can make an informed decision. Two of the most common and effective options include:

  • GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide): approximately $385 per month, delivered to your home
  • Phentermine: approximately $180 per month, for appropriate candidates

GLP-1 medications work by regulating appetite and blood sugar levels, making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived. Research from the NIH supports their effectiveness for long-term weight management when combined with lifestyle changes.

Step 3: Ongoing Support and Medication Delivery

Once your plan is in place, your prescription is sent directly to your preferred pharmacy or delivered straight to your home. Your monthly plan includes:

  • Prescription weight loss medication
  • Nutritional and fitness counseling
  • Ongoing provider access for questions and support throughout your journey

Who Is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

Not everyone who wants to lose weight needs a medically supervised program, but for many Florida residents, it is the most effective path forward. You may be a strong candidate for medical weight loss if:

  • You have tried diet and exercise consistently without achieving or maintaining meaningful results
  • Your provider has recommended weight loss to manage a condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea
  • Your body mass index (BMI) is 27 or higher, particularly if you have a related health condition
  • You want a structured program with clinical oversight rather than navigating weight loss on your own
  • You are interested in prescription medication options such as GLP-1 therapy or phentermine and want to know whether they are appropriate for your specific health profile

Invite Wellness conducts a thorough medical evaluation before recommending any treatment. Your intake appointment is the starting point, and no medication is prescribed until your provider has reviewed your full health history and determined what is both safe and effective for you.

If you are unsure whether you qualify, the best first step is simply to book your intake appointment. Your provider will give you a clear answer based on your individual situation.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Before Your Appointment After you book online, you will receive a confirmation email with your appointment details and any intake forms to complete in advance. Fill these out thoroughly so your provider has the background she needs before your session begins.

  • Your medical history, including any current diagnoses and medications
  • Your dietary habits, activity level, and lifestyle factors
  • Your weight loss history and what you have already tried
  • Your goals and what success looks like for you

If lab work is needed to identify any underlying contributors to weight gain, you will receive a lab slip to visit your nearest LabCorp location.

After Your Appointment Your provider will walk you through treatment options and associated costs. Once you have chosen a plan, your prescription is processed and delivered to your Florida address. You will also have ongoing access to nutritional and fitness counseling as part of your monthly program.
