Successfully Transition Off GLP-1 Medications While Maintaining Results

The duration varies based on your specific medication, dosage, and individual factors. For most clients, the complete weaning process takes between 3-6 months. This gradual approach maximizes success and minimizes side effects. Our team will develop a personalized timeline during your initial consultation. Everyone is different as are the medications, dossages, dispoitions,and lifestyles.

With proper support and behavioral conditioning, weight regain is controllable in most cases. Typically some gain is experinced as you can imagine but it should settle down to an amount that is acceptable. That is the purpose of the program. This is due to the fact that the meds change how you digest food.
Even if your diet is the same, you will not absorb as many calories when on the meds so there will be some gain unless you eat even less!
This is why the habit forming is so important as well as the rate and degree at which you are weaning the medication. How you handle gradual weaning gives you the ability to counter habits as they show up and in a more controlable way. It's our job to guide you through this process.

Yes. We work collaboratively with your prescribing physician during the weaning process. We'll provide documentation about our program for your doctor, and we request medical clearance before beginning the medication reduction phase. This ensures your safety and allows for coordinated care throughout the transition.

Changes in appetite are normal during the transition and are specifically addressed in our program. Before reducing medication, we teach you behavioral and psychological techniques to manage hunger signals naturally. Though habit building that occurs when you are still on medication, we will help you transition to sustainable habits.

Some components such as your doctor visits are usually covered. Our direct services are not.

We want to be responsive to your needs while also balancing our time doing support and keeping this affordable. Email and text are billed at the rate of support sessions in blocks of 30 minutes.

Hypnotherapy can be used to reinforce habits and behaviors both while and after you are medicated. Hypnotherapy effectiveness varies wildly from person to person. Some people will find it is all they need and it will tend to be highly cost effective in that case. Others will see little benefit and lean on other strategies. Recordings are usually 10-15 minutes long. If custom, the cost is billed at the rate of thirty minutes per tape in most cases. Otherwise they are provided as part of the maintenace program.
