BUT (and this is a big but), there will also be people who are able to make lifestyle changes and keep the weight off who wouldn't have been able to do so without this catalyst.

And these are the exact people who I am pulling for. I hope everyone can get in the group. I try as hard as I can to stress this to all my patients.

The same folks who will not have success with GLP-1s are probably the same folks who do the quick fad diets to drop a few pounds and then right back to where they were.

I love the people that I see in clinic who are truly making the right choices to change their unhealthy habits.

The real breakthrough would be if it were treated as a "whole health" issue and part of the GLP-1 regimen included ongoing education, coaching and counseling around diet, exercise, etc.. as an accountability measure. But we aren't there yet in our healthcare system.

I always talk to them about also being referred to a dietician to talk even further about diet changes. Like GLP-1s, that too is not yet covered by insurance, but I think things are changing.
