Reliable Experts. Great Credentials.
Our wellness program is led by Madison McGuire, PA-C, an NCCPA-certified Physician Assistant licensed in Florida. Madison brings experience in urgent care, internal medicine and functional wellness. She looks at the whole picture, from thyroid and hormones to sleep and stress, before recommending treatment.
The program is supported by Sanctuary Medical’s established medical practice and experienced team, right here at our Boca Raton location.
Our Medical Weight Loss Treatments
No two metabolisms are the same, so no two plans are the same. Your program can combine prescription medication, nutrition and habit coaching, and ongoing monitoring. Every option is chosen after a careful review of your health and adjusted as you progress.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 medication that reduces appetite and helps you feel full sooner. In the STEP 1 clinical trial, adults lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks when it was paired with lifestyle changes. Your dose follows the medication’s prescribing schedule and is adjusted based on how you feel and respond.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide works on two hormone pathways, GLP-1 and GIP. It may be a fit for patients who need a stronger effect or have plateaued on semaglutide. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, adults on the highest dose lost an average of 20.9% of their body weight over 72 weeks. It is typically given once a week.
Oral GLP-1 Options
Not a fan of injections? Oral options, including oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide, can be discussed at your consultation. Madison will review whether an oral option fits your health history, goals and lifestyle.
Peptide Therapy
Some patients ask about peptide therapy alongside a weight loss plan. Any peptide is considered only after an individualized consultation, with lab work when indicated and a clear conversation about the evidence and regulatory status.
Labs, InBody and Ongoing Monitoring
Your plan starts with a full health review, lab work when indicated and an InBody body-composition analysis. InBody shows whether you are losing fat or muscle, so your plan can protect lean mass. Check-ins and repeat testing keep your plan on track as your body changes.
How GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications Work
GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone your gut releases after eating. They tell your brain you are full, slow how quickly your stomach empties and help regulate blood sugar. The result is fewer cravings and smaller portions without relying on willpower alone.
Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide. Semaglutide works on one hormone pathway (GLP-1). Tirzepatide works on two (GLP-1 and GIP) and produced greater average weight loss in clinical trials (STEP 1, SURMOUNT-1). Madison recommends the right option based on your health history, goals and tolerability.Individual results vary.
Is Medical Weight Loss Right for Me?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or prediabetes
- Have lost and regained the same weight more than once
- Eat well and exercise but are not seeing change
- Want medical supervision, not a commercial diet program
GLP-1 medications are not right for everyone. They are generally avoided if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), a history of pancreatitis, or are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. Madison reviews your full health history first.

Safety and Side Effects
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications are nausea, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn and fatigue. They are most common when the dose changes and often ease over time. Gradual dose adjustments, smaller meals and good hydration help.
Less common but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, low blood sugar when used with certain diabetes medications, and kidney problems from dehydration. Semaglutide and tirzepatide carry an FDA boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors seen in animal studies.
