21. What is semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes that has shown significant effectiveness for weight management. It works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar, helping patients feel fuller longer and reducing overall caloric intake. At Weight Loss Davie, semaglutide is offered as part of a provider-led care plan supervised by a licensed Physician Associate.

22. What is tirzepatide and how does it work for weight loss?

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist medication that targets two hormonal pathways involved in appetite regulation and metabolism. Clinical studies have shown tirzepatide to be among the most effective medications currently available for medical weight management. At Weight Loss Davie, tirzepatide is offered under the clinical supervision of Marie-Claude Dubuc, PA-C, as part of an individualized treatment plan.

23. What is a GLP-1 medication?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of drugs that mimic a natural hormone in the body responsible for regulating appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. When used under medical supervision, GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide can support significant and sustained weight loss as part of a comprehensive care plan. Weight Loss Davie provides provider-led GLP-1 counseling and education based on individual eligibility and clinical appropriateness.

24. What is a PA-C and can they prescribe weight loss medications?

A PA-C (Physician Associate, Certified) is a licensed medical professional who has completed graduate-level clinical training and passed national board certification. In Florida, a PA-C practices medicine with physician oversight and is authorized to evaluate patients, develop treatment plans, and prescribe medications including those used in medical weight management. Marie-Claude Dubuc, PA-C brings over 15 years of clinical experience to every patient at Weight Loss Davie, including a decade as Lead PA-C in South Florida emergency rooms.

25. Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?

Weight Loss Davie operates on a direct-pay basis and does not require insurance. This allows for more flexible, individualized care without the limitations of insurance-based protocols. Patients pay directly for their provider consultations and care plan. Some patients choose to use HSA or FSA funds — we recommend checking with your plan administrator regarding eligibility.

26. What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Semaglutide works by targeting one hormone pathway (GLP-1), while tirzepatide targets two (GLP-1 and GIP), which may produce different outcomes depending on a patient's individual health profile. Both are prescription medications used in provider-led medical weight management programs. At Weight Loss Davie, your provider will evaluate your health history and clinical eligibility to determine which option, if any, is appropriate for your individualized care plan.

27. Do I need to come into the office or can I do everything remotely?

Weight Loss Davie offers in-person visits at our Davie, Florida clinic as well as phone and text follow-up care available statewide across Florida when clinically appropriate. Initial consultations and evaluations are conducted in person in Davie. Follow-up care may be available remotely depending on your care plan and clinical needs.
