For The Villages patients

From $229/month

  • Your dose sets your monthly price.
  • The $100 visit is free if you start medication.
  • Nothing is charged when you book.

Your provider: Sarah Weir, APRN.

At the starting dose, personalized compounded tirzepatide is $229 a month. Higher doses generally cost more, and the dose-by-dose list is on the personalized compounded tirzepatide page. The $100 visit fee is waived when you start medication, which leaves the medication as the only thing you pay for.

What do diabetes and cholesterol numbers look like in The Villages?

About 17 in 100 adults here have been told they have diabetes, and more than half of those screened have heard the same about cholesterol. CDC PLACES puts diagnosed diabetes at 17.3% of adults in The Villages in 2023, and high cholesterol at 56.7% of adults who had ever been screened. Both conditions become more common with age, and the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 estimate puts the median age here at 74.1. These numbers describe an older community; they are not a verdict on anyone's health.

Should I mention my diabetes or cholesterol medicines at the first visit?

Yes, every one of them. MedlinePlus advises telling your doctor and pharmacist about all prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and supplements before using tirzepatide, since doses of other medicines may need to change, and it warns that tirzepatide can cause changes in blood sugar. At Padgett, personalized compounded tirzepatide is part of a weight-loss program, not a diabetes treatment, so keep the clinician who manages your diabetes informed. MedlinePlus also says tirzepatide may make hormonal birth control less effective and that a doctor may suggest another method for 4 weeks after starting and after each dose change.

How does personalized compounded tirzepatide differ from personalized compounded semaglutide?

The main difference is how many hormone signals the ingredient acts on. The FDA's 2023 approval notice for a tirzepatide product says it activates receptors for two hormones released from the gut, GLP-1 and GIP, to reduce appetite and food intake. The FDA's 2024 notice describes semaglutide as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which acts on one of those two. Those statements are about FDA-approved products, not results for any compounded medication. See personalized compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide compared for the rest, or personalized compounded semaglutide for residents of The Villages for the other option close to home.

Where can I exercise without a long walk?

Try the water. The sports pools at the regional recreation complexes, including Colony Cottage, Ezell, SeaBreeze, Mulberry Grove and Everglades, are for residents 30 and older and open daily from 7 a.m. until dusk, which the District defines as 30 minutes after sunset. Lap lanes share the water with an open area for water walking and general exercise, and volunteers lead drop-in water exercise in both shallow and deep water, with each session capped at 50 minutes. The District heats the pools in cooler months, aiming for 81 to 84 degrees.

What if I would rather lift weights or play golf?

Both are close by. Fit Club gyms at eight regional recreation centers (Colony Cottage, Ezell, Fenney, Laurel Manor, Mulberry Grove, Olympia, Rohan and SeaBreeze) have cardio machines, circuit training, free weights and core training. They open 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, for members 19 and older; membership carries a fee and is limited to residents and their guests. The districts also run more than 40 executive golf courses where residents pay no greens fees, though using your own golf car on them takes a paid trail fee.

How do I plan meals for one or two people?

Plan small and plan ahead. The Census Bureau estimates 48,242 households in The Villages with an average of 1.73 people each, so the typical kitchen here cooks for one or two. If your appetite shrinks, family-size packs go to waste fast. A short weekly grocery list, smaller packages of protein and vegetables, and a few portions frozen for later make regular, balanced meals easier to keep up. Ask your provider about eating while on a weekly injection; no amount of weight loss is promised, and results differ from person to person.

What does week-to-week care look like?

You give yourself one injection a week, following clear instructions written for your exact medication. MedlinePlus lists nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, upset stomach and decreased appetite among the common side effects of tirzepatide. Report anything you notice, and leave every dose change to your provider. Check-ins can be by telehealth from your home in The Villages while you are in Florida, and each shipment comes to your Florida address.

Can I start without leaving The Villages?

Yes. The first weight-loss visit can be a telehealth visit from your own living room, provided you are in Florida when it happens, and the same goes for later check-ins. If you would rather meet in person, pick a late-morning weekday slot, which usually keeps you clear of the heaviest traffic on US 301 heading north.

Which nearby towns have their own pages?

Fruitland Park and Leesburg, both in Lake County, each have one. From Fruitland Park, the drive is about 27 miles and roughly 44 minutes without traffic; see personalized compounded tirzepatide in Fruitland Park. Leesburg is farther, about 31 miles and roughly 51 minutes, and has personalized compounded tirzepatide in Leesburg. Ready to begin? Book a personalized compounded tirzepatide visit online.

Personalized compounded tirzepatide questions from The Villages

Is personalized compounded tirzepatide a diabetes treatment at Padgett?

No. At Padgett it is part of a medically supervised weight-loss program. If you have diabetes or take medicine for it, say so at the first visit and keep the clinician who manages your diabetes informed, since other medicines may need adjusting. Your provider decides whether personalized compounded tirzepatide is right for you.

Can my spouse and I both start personalized compounded tirzepatide?

Yes, as long as the provider finds it suitable for each of you. Each person has a separate visit, a separately personalized dose and, because pricing is by dose, possibly a different monthly price. Each of you books online, and no charge is made at booking.

Does the monthly price change if my dose goes up?

It can. Personalized compounded tirzepatide is priced by dose, starting at $229 a month, so if your provider raises the dose, your monthly price usually rises too. The full price list is on the personalized compounded tirzepatide service page, and the $100 visit stays free once you start medication.
