Why Nothing Has Worked — Until Now
Here's what most weight loss programs won't tell you: research shows that fewer than 5% of people who lose weight through dieting alone keep it off after five years. Not because they stopped trying, because the body actively fights back.
When you lose weight, your metabolism slows down. Your hunger hormones spike. Your brain sends louder and louder signals to eat. It's not willpower failure. It's your body doing exactly what it's designed to do: protect its fat stores.
A DEXA body composition scan can reveal the full picture: how much visceral fat you're carrying, your lean mass, and where you're starting from.
How GLP-1 medications change the equation
Semaglutide and tirzepatide work directly on the hormones that control hunger and satiety. They quiet the constant noise, the cravings that hijack your decisions, the obsessive food thoughts that make every meal a negotiation.
Patients describe it the same way over and over: for the first time in their lives, they're not thinking about food every second of the day.
That's not a shortcut. That's medicine addressing the root cause.
Named doctors. Real credentials.
No anonymous "providers." You'll know exactly who's managing your treatment.

How Our Coral Gables Weight Loss Program Works
Built around three principles: physician oversight, medication access, and ongoing accountability. No gimmicks, no meal replacement shakes, no mandatory supplement purchases.
Medical Evaluation
Your journey starts with a thorough medical evaluation with a licensed physician, not a health coach, not a questionnaire reviewed by someone you'll never meet. We review your full health history, current medications, lab work, and weight loss goals to determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you.
Not everyone is a candidate for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and we'll tell you upfront. If another approach is better suited to your situation, we'll point you in the right direction. No pressure, no upsell.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your evaluation, your physician prescribes the medication and dosage that fits your medical profile. We offer both semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®), with dosing protocols that follow clinical guidelines for safe, effective weight loss.
Ongoing Medical Monitoring
This isn't a "get your prescription and figure it out" operation. You have scheduled check-ins with your physician to track progress, adjust dosing, review labs, and address any concerns. We monitor the metrics that matter, not just the number on the scale, but blood pressure, A1C, cholesterol, liver function, and other markers that tell the full story of your health.
When your bloodwork improves, when your doctor takes you off your blood pressure medication, when your sleep apnea resolves... those are the wins that outlast any number on a scale.
What Results Can You Expect from GLP-1 Weight Loss Medication?
Clinical trials for semaglutide showed an average weight loss of approximately 15% of body weight over 68 weeks[1]. Tirzepatide trials showed even higher averages, up to 22.5% of body weight in some study arms[2].
Appetite Reduction Begins
Most patients notice a significant decrease in food noise (the constant background hum of cravings and hunger that's been running your decisions for years). Some early nausea is common and usually manageable.
Visible Weight Loss
Clothes fit differently. Energy levels improve. Friends and family start noticing. Lab work often shows early improvements in blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol.
Substantial Results
Many patients report feeling like a different person, not just physically, but emotionally. Confidence returns. Activities that felt impossible become routine. Health markers continue to improve, and some patients begin reducing or eliminating other medications under their doctor's supervision.
Target Weight & Maintenance
Patients approach or reach their target weight. The focus shifts to maintenance: sustaining the habits, adjusting medication as needed, and ensuring long-term metabolic health.
The weight loss is real. But what patients tell us matters even more is what comes with it: sleeping through the night, keeping up with their kids, fitting into an airplane seat without anxiety, shopping for clothes with excitement instead of dread.
What Coral Gables Patients Are Saying
I'd been with a concierge doctor for years, on a meal-replacement program for two of those, and could never get the last 40 lbs off. Down 46 lbs in six months on tirzepatide. The Miracle Mile office is two minutes from mine and I see the same physician every visit.
The bilingual staff was important because my parents wanted to be involved in my care. The physician explained every result to all three of us. Three months in, down 28 lbs and my bloodwork is the best it's been in a decade.
I teach at UM and a colleague recommended Strong Health for the GLP-1 program. The clinical rigor is what I'd expect from a top hospital with the convenience of a private clinic five blocks from campus. Down 37 lbs and my A1C is back in the normal range.
Was on semaglutide through an online clinic for 18 months. No labs after the first month. Switched to Strong Health, got a full metabolic panel, and they adjusted my dose appropriately. This is what physician oversight actually looks like.
Why Coral Gables Patients Choose Strong Health
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees
We publish our pricing upfront because you deserve to know what you're paying before you walk through the door. No surprise supplement charges, no mandatory add-ons, no "complex visit" billing codes that inflate your bill.
Real Physicians, Not Auto-Generated Coaching
Your care is managed by a licensed physician, not an algorithm, not a chatbot, not a health coach reading from a script. When you have a question about your medication, your side effects, or your labs, you talk to a doctor who knows your case.
Fast, Reliable Medication Access
Prescription delays are the #1 complaint across telehealth weight loss platforms. At Strong Health, we've built our process to eliminate the gaps. Your prescription is coordinated before your medication runs out, not three weeks after.
No Long-Term Contracts
We don't lock you into 6- or 12-month commitments. You stay because the program is working, not because you're trapped in a billing cycle. If you need to pause or stop, you can. No cancellation fees, no runaround.
Insurance Coordination Support
GLP-1 insurance coverage is complex: employer exclusions, prior authorization requirements, formulary restrictions. We help you understand your coverage options and, where possible, assist with prior authorization submissions to maximize your benefits.
Is a Medical Weight Loss Clinic Right for You?
You don't need to have "tried everything" to qualify, but if you have, you already know that another diet plan isn't the answer. GLP-1 medications address the biological mechanisms that made those programs fail, giving you a medical advantage that willpower alone cannot provide.
Every month without treatment is another month of elevated blood sugar, rising cholesterol, worsening sleep apnea, and compounding cardiovascular risk. These conditions don't pause while you research. They progress.
If you're unsure whether you're a candidate, that's exactly what the consultation is for. No commitment, no quiz that ends in a credit card form. Just a conversation with a physician who can tell you whether this approach makes sense for your body and your goals.

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide — Understanding Your Options
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists approved for weight management. They work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel full sooner, stay full longer, and reduce the mental fixation on food.
Semaglutide
Targets the GLP-1 receptor. Widely studied and FDA-approved for chronic weight management since 2021.
Clinical trials showed average weight loss of approximately 15% of body weight[1].
Tirzepatide
Targets both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, a dual-action approach. FDA-approved for weight management in 2023.
Higher average weight loss in clinical trials, with some participants losing over 20% of body weight[2].
Your physician will recommend the medication best suited to your health profile, insurance coverage, and treatment goals. Both are administered as a once-weekly injection, a small subcutaneous shot that most patients describe as virtually painless.
