Because losing weight is not about willpower alone.
Sustain doctors prescribe GLP-1 medications because research shows that, when combined with coaching, they are the safest and most effective option for long-term weight loss.
New studies have discovered that your body wants to keep you at your highest weight. This is called the Set-Point, and it’s the reason why sustained weight loss is so difficult to achieve.
Your body resists weight loss and views it as a problem. Following weight loss, your body makes physiological changes to restore body weight back up to your highest weight, or “Set-Point.”
In response to weight loss, your body lowers your metabolic rate to make it easier to regain the weight. It also lowers levels of a peptide called GLP-1,that specifically regulates when you feel full. Lower levels of GLP-1 increase hunger hormones, leading to increased cravings and appetite.
Every time you lose more than 5% of your body weight, your levels of naturally produced GLP-1 drop, triggering increased hunger and decreased satiety. Even worse, this drop is permanent. Even if you regain the weight, GLP-1 levels do not restore to their original level.

GLP-1 is a hormone that makes you feel full. It’s made by your gut and has receptors in your brain.
GLP-1 medications are the most effective solution ever offered to achieve long term, sustainable weight loss, when combined with lifestyle modification.
GLP-1s are not stimulants, are non-habit forming and are clinically-proven to be the most effective medications for long-term weight loss. These medications work on the same receptors as the naturally-occurring GLP-1 hormones already in your body.
Previous generations of prescription weight loss medications were often stimulants or appetite suppressants trying to mask hunger. These quick fixes did not address the underlying issue of increased hunger hormones.
GLP-1 medications work to reset the metabolic pathway to an optimal function, reducing hunger, leading to long lasting weight loss.
