FDA-approved GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound, real lab work, and a provider who actually follows your progress. Not a faceless app. Care that looks at your whole health, not just a number on the scale.
Real medical weight loss isn't just a prescription in the mail. It's evaluation, monitoring, and adjustments from a provider who knows you.
We review your history and run baseline labs to see if a GLP-1 is appropriate for you.
If it's a fit, your provider prescribes an FDA-approved medication and builds a plan around your goals.
We follow your progress with check-ins, manage side effects, and adjust as you go.
Medications are prescribed only when clinically appropriate after evaluation, and GLP-1s aren't right for everyone. Individual results vary.
Ozempic and Mounjaro are the same medicines approved for type 2 diabetes. Meriem chooses based on your health history, goals, and what your coverage allows. Read our full Wegovy vs. Zepbound comparison.
Your evaluation with Meriem Richardson, FNP-BC makes the final call. Follow-ups can happen by telehealth anywhere in Florida.

Become a patient โWe prescribe FDA-approved, brand-name GLP-1 medications, most often Wegovy and Zepbound, when they're clinically appropriate for you. Meriem reviews your health history, current medications, and goals first. These medications aren't right for everyone, and we only prescribe after a proper evaluation.
Generally adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes, or sleep apnea. GLP-1s aren't recommended during pregnancy or with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer. Your evaluation makes the final call.
No. Your membership covers your evaluation, prescribing, telehealth follow-ups, and ongoing monitoring. Labs and the medication are separate costs. We've negotiated low cash prices for lab work (and you can use your insurance for labs), and the medication is filled through your pharmacy. We're always upfront about those costs.
No. After your initial evaluation, most follow-ups happen by telehealth anywhere in Florida, and you can text your provider directly about side effects or questions between visits.
With most online services you never build a relationship with a provider, dosing is one-size-fits-all, and it's hard to reach a real person. At Meadow, your own provider evaluates you, runs baseline and follow-up labs, adjusts your plan, manages side effects, and looks at your whole health, not just a number on a scale.
No. Membership isn't insurance, but it covers the supervised care side. Whether your insurance covers the medication itself varies by plan, and we'll help you understand your options.
