Physician-Supervised GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss Program Serving Port St. Lucie & the Treasure Coast — Available Throughout Florida

We offer compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which are in the same class of medications as Ozempic® and Mounjaro®. Our formulations are compounded with Glycine, which helps improve tolerability, reduce common side effects, and support overall effectiveness during weight loss.

Both medications help regulate appetite and blood sugar. Tirzepatide works on two metabolic pathways instead of one, which means some patients experience faster or more significant results. During your consultation, our Physician Assistant, Liz, will review your medical history and goals to recommend the best option for you.

Check-ins are typically scheduled every four to six weeks, depending on your individual plan and progress. These appointments allow our medical provider to monitor results, address side effects, and make thoughtful adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. Ongoing check-ins are a key part of our program and ensure your care remains personalized, responsive, and focused on long-term success.

There is no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some patients benefit from several months of consistent use, while others continue longer depending on their goals and progress. Our goal is not lifelong medication use. From the beginning, we focus on helping you reach a healthy weight and maintain it by building sustainable habits, protecting muscle, and supporting metabolism — so you have a clear path forward if and when medication is reduced or discontinued.

Our program is designed to support safe, effective, and lasting weight loss, not just appetite suppression. It includes:

• Physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy using compounded Semaglutide or Tirzepatide
• Ongoing medical guidance from a licensed Physician Assistant
• Nutrition guidance to reduce side effects, protect muscle, and support sustainable eating
• Exercise guidance with realistic, low-impact movement strategies
• Behavioral modification tools to address stress, emotional eating, and long-term habit change
• Clear injection instructions for safe, confident medication use
• ShapeScale 3D body imaging for local patients to track body shape and composition beyond the scale

Yes. While our medical weight loss program is available only to Florida residents, you do not need to live locally to participate.

• Patients anywhere in Florida can complete virtual consultations
• Receive medication shipped directly to their home
• Benefit from ongoing medical supervision, nutrition guidance, exercise support, and behavioral tools

No. The VIPS Medical Weight Loss Program is month-to-month, allowing you to pause or cancel at any time.

The medication is taken as a once-weekly injection, similar to an insulin shot. You’ll receive clear, step-by-step instructions and support so you feel comfortable and confident administering it.

We do not bill insurance directly. However, you are welcome to try using your HSA or FSA card during checkout.

Some patients experience mild side effects, such as nausea, fatigue, or digestive changes, especially early in treatment. In many cases, these symptoms are related to under-eating, poor meal timing, dehydration, or low protein intake, rather than the medication itself. That’s why our program includes nutrition and exercise guidance designed to minimize side effects and support energy levels. If side effects occur, our team can adjust dosing, review nutrition strategies, or schedule additional check-ins to keep you comfortable and on track. You are medically supervised throughout the program, and support is always available.

GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, have been extensively studied and are considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider. At VIPS, your progress is closely overseen by a licensed Physician Assistant, with dosing and guidance adjusted as needed to prioritize safety, tolerability, and results.

We use compounded GLP-1 medications sourced from GMP-certified U.S. compounding pharmacies that follow strict standards for ingredient quality, formulation, and dose consistency. Your medication ships directly from the pharmacy to you, reducing handling and helping ensure each dose is consistent and reliable. This consistency supports better tolerability, steadier appetite control, and more predictable results.

No. Our program is not designed for lifelong medication use. From the beginning, we plan for success with or without medication by building habits, protecting muscle, and supporting metabolism while appetite is controlled. When medication is reduced or stopped, there is a clear path forward — not dependency.

Yes. ShapeScale 3D body imaging is completed in person and is available to patients located in or near Port St. Lucie and the Treasure Coast. ShapeScale allows us to track body shape, circumference, and composition — not just weight — helping us identify early muscle loss or subtle shifts before progress stalls. Patients outside the local area still receive full medical supervision, medication, and lifestyle support without ShapeScale.

Yes, though timing is important. In some cases, achieving a stable weight before surgery can help optimize aesthetic outcomes and surgical planning. We encourage patients to discuss their goals with Dr. Vinyard and our team so we can coordinate weight loss treatment and surgical planning appropriately and safely.
