GLP-1 Medications: What’s your exit strategy?
Making your progress last …
In 2026, chances are very good that you are currently taking one of these medications for weight loss, or have been considering it, and almost certainly know people who are taking one. With the guidance from a health care professional, these drugs can be a useful tool for people during their weight loss journey. And, many health and wellness practitioners are noticing that the average user is NOT getting the guidance and education they need to make sure their progress is metabolically healthy and sustainable.
Let's take a quick look at this. We’ve all been hearing SO much about these drugs last few years … the class of medications that people have taken for type 2 diabetes management and now more recently for weight loss. They are known as GLP-1 agonists, and you most likely know them by their brand names such as Ozempic or Mounjaro or Trulicity … for example.
Now, you may be considering using this type of medication for weight loss … or maybe you are already are taking one for that. With the guidance from a health care professional, these drugs can be a useful tool for people towards reaching a healthier weight.
Let me say that again. These drugs CAN be a useful tool. They are not however a magical solution for forever managing your weight. As a matter of fact, your health care provider may have already mentioned this. They may have also suggested having an “exit strategy” for eventually getting off that medication.
After all the time and expense you’ve invested on your GLP-1 medication, of course you don’t want to undo all of the progress you’ve made.
That’s where people really need the help both WHEN they’re taking the medication AND ALSO AFTERWARD for their long-term results.
Wouldn’t it be great to know that whether you’re using these medications or not … you can be learning what you need to know to in order to maintain a healthy weight without them? And learning those things is the key to a much easier exit strategy.
For most people, this means learning how to maintain a healthy weight long term … for life.
