  1. Medical intake / health history – BMI, prior weight loss efforts, health conditions.

  2. Licensed provider consultation – to assess whether you are a candidate for semaglutide or tirzepatide.

  3. Informed consent – side effects, expectations, what follow-ups will be required.

  4. Prescription + dosage plan – adjusted over time.

  5. Lifestyle & behavioral support – nutrition, coaching, tracking.

HolaVida: Prices & What You Get

HolaVida offers fully online GLP-1 plans for Florida residents with transparent pricing and support included.

  • Semaglutide Plans: $129/month (quarterly commitment) or $133/month (month to month) — Rx + coaching included.

  • Tirzepatide Plans: $180/month (month-to-month) or $190/month (quarterly plan) — including Rx and coaching.

  • 100% online, licensed providers, coaching behavior + lifestyle included.

Why Florida Makes It Work + Why HolaVida Stands Out

  • Telehealth laws in Florida allow for prescriptions via video (as long as the provider is licensed and laws followed).

  • Many people in Florida don’t want to drive to clinics — online care offers convenience & privacy.

  • HolaVida is built to be state-compliant (informed consent, quarterly follow-ups, BMI rules), affordable, and accessible.

The Science Behind GLP-1s: How These Medications Actually Work

Intro: GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have become game-changers in modern healthcare—but how do they really work? The answer lies in your body’s natural biology. GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone your gut releases after eating that tells your brain, “I’m full.” It also helps regulate blood sugar and digestion.
