We lose weight for a number of worthy reasons:
- To fight type 2 diabetes
- To improve vein and heart health
- To reclaim self-confidence
And the weight loss might even be to fit into that special outfit for your big occasion!
Achieving a healthy weight benefits you no matter what your reason is behind it. Many people fail at it because their chosen diet and exercise routines don’t match their lifestyle, don’t provide support, and don’t help them truly get where they need to be.
For weight loss in Sarasota, Floridians of all ages turn to Florida Lakes Spa for help and hope. Our semaglutide weight loss therapy, part of our 3-month weight loss program, provides a proven, FDA-approved boost to a holistic weight loss plan that’s customized for your goals.
Call us or request a consultation online, so you can stop being discouraged by programs that don’t work. Instead, find encouraging and effective weight loss with a team of experts committed to your success.
When You’re at a Loss for Effective Weight Loss
Maybe you tried out a diet your friend recommended or an exercise program a family member swears by. Maybe you saw an ad online that made weight loss look easy-peasy. You give it a shot, and perhaps it works for a little while…until it doesn’t.
Achieving weight loss in Sarasota requires 2 main ingredients:
- The right weight loss method to match your unique physiology.
- The right mindset to stick with it for life.

Why Some Diet and Exercise Doesn’t Do It
Too often, weight loss fails because that strategy for weight loss fails the patient.
Biological Factors That Derail Weight Loss
How the type of diet and exercise interact with biological factors can affect/defeat your weight loss efforts.
- Hormonal Imbalance. Drastically cutting calories can make your body produce more ghrelin. This hormone stimulates hunger, causing you to want to eat longer and eat more. Very low-calorie diets (VLCDs) also make the body produce less leptin, a hormone that makes you feel sated. As a result, you have to battle with your hormones to lose weight.
- Adaptive Thermogenesis. Your metabolism adjusts to the calories you bring in, including and what to do with them once you digest the food. When you eat less, your body naturally adjusts to burn fewer calories. This can make losing weight harder even though you’ve cut calories.
- Muscle Mass Loss. A VLCD not only affects your hormones, it can cause muscle mass loss. When you take in fewer calories, your metabolism looks for supplementary fuel. Unfortunately, your muscles break down more easily than your fat cells. That muscle loss affects your basal metabolic rate too, because muscle mass burns more calories than other tissues, even when you rest.
- Genetic Factors. Because of your unique genetic makeup, your body may find its weight equilibrium at a higher level than what you desire. Now, you have to fight your body’s natural processes to lose weight and keep it off.
Are you really ready to lose weight?
Some diet and exercise programs promise the moon. They can sound great—but they don’t ask if you really want to lose weight.
Weight loss in Sarasota is a choice. No diet or exercise can get you to your goals and keep you there for the long term unless that’s what you really want. You have to commit, making that goal central. You must say no to old habits, old go-to’s, and even well-intentioned offers of food and drink that knock you off the path toward your goal.
In other words, you make a healthier version of yourself more important than the donuts, the cookies, the extra helpings, and the social situations that lead to those temptations.
Believe in yourself, choose better days over old habits, and rely on a team that supports you all the way. And with our semaglutide injections to help, you can lose the weight and keep it off for life.

The Weight Loss Program at Florida Lakes Spa
When you’re ready to lose that extra weight and make those goals happen, we’re ready to commit to your journey with expertise, guidance, and treatments to help make that dream come true.
Semaglutide as the Foundation for Weight Loss
In Sarasota, we start your weight loss journey with semaglutide therapy. This weekly shot delivers FDA-approved compounded semaglutide directly into your system, where it acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
Your body naturally manufactures the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone in your gut after eating. As you digest food, GLP-1 alerts your body when your stomach fills up.
Semaglutide flawlessly mimics this hormone, helping you feel less hungry and more satisfied, even with smaller portions of food. This reduces cravings, making it easier to stop rummaging through the refrigerator (even when you’re not explicitly hungry). It can also aid in preventing overeating (even when the food is really really good!).

Our Program Delivers Support
Many diets rely on willpower and restriction, making long-term maintenance difficult. When you come in for your weekly semaglutide shots, our weight loss in Sarasotat helps you achieve goals and keep them in several ways.
- Guidance: We provide advice for nutrition, exercise, and how to approach situations that usually trigger overeating.
- Support: We always cheer you on, and we want to help you live better every day. We never offer judgement—only active listening and genuine care.
- Accountability: Our unique scale measures weight loss progress along with hydration and your BMI. With these measurements, we can ensure your semaglutide dosage works and keep on track for success.
- Supplemental Treatments: As your weight loss progresses, we also offer treatments like Emsculpt NEO, dermal fillers, and pelvic floor therapy to build muscles, strengthen your core, melt stubborn fat deposits, and even help support your skin’s look as the weight disappears.
Once you hit your target, we also help you maintain it, or re-attain it if you backslide at all.
We Help You Say No to the Weight Yo-Yo
Yay! You’ve hit that target weight number, your clothes fit better, and your friends and family even remark on how good you look.
However…
The weight can start to creep back on. It can come back slowly or quickly depending on how any old, bad habits start to resurface. Then, you can feel overwhelmed by shame—not wanting to admit to others that your hard efforts and self-discipline have already started eroding.
What’s worse: this may not be the first time experiencing this.
If you find yourself on a weight loss yo-yo, losing weight and gaining it back in a perpetually frustrating cycle, you’re not alone. Statistically, 18% of men and 27% of women get stuck “weight cycling,” where they lose weight—but then gain it all (or more) back.
But the team Florida Lakes Spa can help break that pattern! As your accountability partners, our expert guides on your weight loss journey help you rediscover your motivation and chart your best course of action to keep off the weight.
We’re your most passionate cheerleaders. We won’t ever judge you—we’ll listen, we’ll understand, and we’ll help you find ways to keep the weight off.
