This is a question I hear often from patients: “Do I have to stay on Ozempic (or other GLP1 medication) forever?” And it is an important one.
Ozempic (semaglutide) and other GLP1 type medications are FDA-approved to help manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss by regulating blood sugar, improving insulin sensitivity, and curbing appetite. These medications are powerful tools—and for many patients it has produced life-changing results. But does that mean it is a lifelong commitment?
Not necessarily.
Our philosophy is centered on using food as medicine and empowering patients to make sustainable changes that can reduce their dependence on medication over time.
We believe in addressing the root causes of diabetes and obesity, not just the symptoms. Through our physician-led diabetes reversal program, we combine:
Evidence-based low-carb nutrition
Gentle, personalized physical activity
Behavior and lifestyle coaching
Medication optimization
Our goal is to help you stabilize your blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and regain metabolic health. In fact, many of our patients are able to reduce or even eliminate medications like Ozempic as their health improves.
That said, every journey is different. Some patients may need to continue on Ozempic longer-term, especially if they have struggled with weight or glucose control for many years. But we always strive to give you options—and a plan that puts you back in control.
You are not stuck. You deserve a care plan that evolves with your progress.
If you are asking this question, it may be time to explore a program that helps you transition from medication dependence to lifestyle mastery.
