The Weight Loss Prescription
Use GLP-1s to their full capability to rewire your habits, shift mindsets, and keep the weight off for good.
Learn how to use weight loss drugs correctly to get off them and prevent weight gain, with Dr Max’s and Dr Courtney’s guide to using GLP-1s sustainably.
The Weight Loss Prescription is the essential step-by-step guide on how to change your relationship with food whilst taking advantage of GLP-1 medications, so that when you stop, you can keep the weight off for good. Rewire habits, shift mindsets, and build a sustainable foundation for health to take back control.
GLP-1s offer a glimmer of hope in the fight against obesity, revolutionising the way it’s treated. Patients have flocked to online pharmacies, but too often, they’re being administered without the all too important psychological support, which is essential for long-term success.
Patients need support and guidance on how to address underlying issues that led them to using GLP-1s in the first place, but this is sorely missing from treatment plans. People are finding that they lose weight, stop the medication, and promptly gain the weight back. The Weight Loss Prescription looks to change this.
