Maximizing GLP-1 Success: The Power of Health Coaching
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide & their impressive weight loss results. Clinical trials show significant weight loss with these medications, & it's understandable to be excited about these advancements.
However, as research, including a study co-authored by Gary Sforzo, PhD, in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, points out, GLP-1 medications aren't a standalone solution. Just like medications for hypertension, stopping GLP-1 often leads to weight regain. Adherence is also a challenge, with many patients discontinuing within a few months due to side effects, cost, or the emotional aspects of changing eating habits.
The key is that GLP-1s were designed to work alongside lifestyle changes—healthy eating & increased activity. But often, patients don't receive the support they need to make these changes last.
That's where Health Coaching, & particularly the approach we take at Jo Ann Green Health Coach LLC, comes in. We understand that lasting weight loss & wellness require more than just medication. It requires addressing the underlying behaviors & emotional connections that impact your health & wellbeing.
