One of the biggest questions people ask about GLP-1 medications is:
“What happens if I stop taking it?”
Whether you’re taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, you may have concerns about losing insurance coverage, reaching your goal weight, medication costs, long-term use, or the possibility of regaining weight in the future.
In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down what the research actually shows about stopping a GLP-1 medication, the factors that influence weight regain, and what you can start doing now to support long-term success.

- Why willpower is not the solution
