Weight regain after stopping GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro is a common concern. In this episode of The Vitality Formula, physician Dr. Marie Livesey explains why weight regain happens and how to support metabolism after stopping these medications.

Dr. Livesey explores the hormonal, neurological, and metabolic shifts that occur when GLP-1 medications are discontinued. Rather than framing weight regain as a failure of willpower, this episode explains the physiological mechanisms involved and what patients can do to support long-term metabolic health.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How GLP-1 medications affect hormones, appetite, and metabolism and what changes when you stop them
  • The science behind weight regain, including hormonal rebounds and metabolic adaptation
  • Why emotional stress and neurological shifts play a key role in post-med weight changes
  • What to do before and after coming off weight-loss medications to support stability
  • How midlife hormone changes intersect with medication withdrawal and weight regulation
