Medically-Supervised GLP-1 Weight Loss Program in Florida
At Marino Wellness & Medspa we offer a medically supervised weight management program using compounded GLP-1 therapies. Through our telemedicine services, patients across the state of Florida can access expert support from licensed providers—all without needing to visit our clinic in person.
What is GLP-1 and How Does It Work?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are peptides that mimic natural hormones to help regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. Compounded GLP-1 therapies are administered via weekly injections under medical supervision, offering a personalized solution for weight management.Some well-known FDA-approved brands based on GLP-1 include Wegovy® and Ozempic®.
However, at Marino Wellness, we use custom-compounded formulations tailored to individual needs, as permitted by current guidelines and clinical protocols.
We also offer medically supervised GLP-1 tirzepatide programs in Spanish for patients seeking medical weight loss.

Appetite Support: Helps reduce food cravings and increase satiety.
Glucose Stability: May support balanced insulin levels and energy.
Fat Metabolism: Promotes fat utilization when combined with healthy habits.
Research-Backed: Studies suggest some patients experience meaningful weight changes over time with GLP-1 therapy. (Source: National Library of Medicine)
