Physician-Supervised Dual GLP-1 and GIP Therapy
Concierge, physician-supervised tirzepatide for significant, sustainable weight loss from $230/month — well under typical online-program pricing, with a real physician at your home or office across Tampa Bay.
How Tirzepatide Works
Tirzepatide takes a dual-receptor approach. In addition to activating the GLP-1 receptor, it also activates the GIP receptor (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This second hormone pathway enhances insulin sensitivity, supports more efficient fat metabolism, and may amplify appetite-suppressive effects beyond what GLP-1 activation achieves on its own.
The clinical data has been notable. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, participants receiving the highest dose achieved an average weight reduction of approximately 20 percent of body weight over 72 weeks. At MeliOra, tirzepatide is always physician-supervised, with lab work and dosing calibrated to your individual response.

Is It Right for You?
A strong fit for patients with a higher BMI who want the maximum clinically demonstrated weight reduction.
Tirzepatide can help address insulin resistance and blood sugar alongside weight loss through its dual-pathway action.
Head-to-head data shows tirzepatide producing greater average weight reduction than GLP-1-only therapy.
If you have not achieved your goals with a GLP-1-only medication, the dual approach may help you progress.
Concierge Care
MeliOra is a mobile concierge practice. Your first appointment includes a full health evaluation, and Dr. Espinet reviews your history, orders lab work, and sets a starting dose and timeline tailored to your body.

MeliOra vs. Online GLP-1 Programs
Tirzepatide is the strongest tool in medical weight loss — and the one where supervision matters most. MeliOra prices it below most online programs while a board-certified physician manages every step in person.
