Boca Raton · Physician-supervised since 2014

Medical weight loss in Boca Raton, with the workup most programs skip.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide, prescribed and monitored by a doctor you see in person — not by a website. Before anything is written, we look at your metabolic markers, your thyroid and, where it's relevant, your hormones. Weight that will not move is sometimes a hormone problem, and there is no way to know without the labs.

How the program actually runs

Assessment, labs, a results review, then treatment.

Before anyone prescribes this, we need to know it's the right thing for you — and that takes labs.

Comprehensive assessment

Medical history, current medications, body composition and risk factors — and whether medicated weight loss is appropriate for you at all. For some people it isn't.

Metabolic & thyroid bloodwork

A targeted panel: blood sugar and insulin markers, lipids, thyroid function, and hormone levels where your history points that way. Not a 90-test panel nobody explains.

Going through the results

Someone from the team walks you through the numbers — by phone or at the Boca Raton office, whichever suits you — rather than sending a PDF to your inbox. Dr. Stratt consults on your case and on what gets prescribed. You come away knowing what's off and what the program costs, in writing.

Dose changes & check-ins

Doses start low and move up gradually. You come in for check-ins, and we adjust based on your labs, any side effects, and how you're actually feeling.

The part most programs skip

Weight that won't move is sometimes a hormone problem.

Plenty of people arrive here having done everything right — cleaned up the diet, added the training, lost nothing. That's worth investigating before it gets treated as a willpower problem.

What we look for

Findings that change the plan

Several common, testable conditions make weight genuinely harder to lose. A prescription written without checking for them is a guess.

Thyroid function. An underactive thyroid slows metabolic rate and is easy to miss without testing.
Insulin resistance. Blood sugar and insulin markers often explain stubborn central weight gain.
Low testosterone in men. Affects muscle mass and body composition, not just energy.
Perimenopause and menopause. The hormonal shift changes where weight sits and how easily it comes off.

Why it matters

What the labs tell us

None of them is a wasted lab draw.

Correcting what's off is the whole answer, and medication was never the right first move.
Or it's what makes the medication work — imbalance and weight treated together.
Or the labs are clean, which is useful too: we start knowing nothing was missed.

Medication options

Two medications. The choice is made after your labs.

Both are once-weekly injections in the GLP-1 family, both are titrated slowly, and both are prescribed here only when lifestyle change alone hasn't been enough. They are not interchangeable, and neither is a standalone plan — nutrition, activity and follow-up are part of the program.

Option one

Semaglutide in Boca Raton

A GLP-1 receptor agonist. It acts on appetite regulation and satiety and slows how quickly the stomach empties, so meals feel like enough sooner. Dosed weekly and stepped up on a schedule to limit side effects.

Weekly injection, self-administered
Gradual dose escalation, managed clinically
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and dose-related

Option two

Tirzepatide in Boca Raton

Tirzepatide works on two appetite pathways rather than one. That difference is part of why one medication may suit you better than the other. Also weekly, also titrated.

Weekly injection, self-administered
Dual GIP and GLP-1 mechanism
Chosen on your labs, history and tolerance

Before you call

Questions we get about weight loss.

Do I need bloodwork before starting a weight loss medication?

Yes. We check metabolic markers and thyroid function before anything is prescribed, and hormone levels where your history points that way. It tells us whether medication is appropriate for you, and it occasionally finds the actual reason the weight hasn't moved.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide?

That's decided after your labs, not before. Someone from the team goes through the results with you — over the phone or at the office — and Dr. Stratt consults on what gets prescribed. The two work differently, and your history, your labs and how you tolerate treatment all factor in.

What if my thyroid or hormones turn out to be the problem?

Then we treat that. An underactive thyroid, insulin resistance, low testosterone or the hormonal shift of perimenopause can all make weight harder to lose. Sometimes correcting it is the whole answer.

How often will I be seen?

You come into the Boca Raton office for check-ins rather than messaging an app. We adjust the dose based on your labs, any side effects and how you're actually doing — which is difficult to judge from a form submitted online.

What does the program cost, and does insurance cover it?

LifeBoost is a self-pay practice, so nothing is billed to insurance. You get your price in writing when we go through your results, before you commit to anything. We'd rather quote you accurately once we know what you need than advertise a number that changes.

This page is for general information and is not medical advice. Whether any treatment is appropriate for you is determined after evaluation and, where indicated, laboratory testing.
