In this group you will find empathy, support, camaraderie, understanding, and strategies for coping with all the physiological and psychological changes from peers who are experiencing similar issues, as well as authoritative information and guidance from health-care professionals who have the experience and compassion to help you cope with the physical and psychological changes associated with large and rapid weight loss."
WHY START WITH A BEGINNER GROUP?
Virtually all the side effects of GLPs can be traced back to eating habits and other behavior. Learn how to minimize the side effects, maximize the benefits, and learn how to make your GLP journey as smooth as possible. Start right at the beginning with us, and take it away! All the ABC’s of GLPs!
WHY DO OUR SUPPORT GROUP MEMBERS DO SO WELL?
Besides all the education about GLPs right from the beginning, we provide the highest level of standard of care available anywhere. You attend weekly, 75-minute sessions, with 15-20 other participants who are also getting started or considering a GLP. You’ll receive support, advice, wisdom, and share stories with a COMMUNITY of like-minded peers. And the group is facilitated by two very GLP- and weight-loss experienced health-care professionals. Rich alone has 46 years in the field!
GLPs are the safest and most effective weight loss medication ever developed. Our program prior to GLPs was lifestyle change because we never saw the results you would expect from a medication. But it’s all different now. GLPs are unquestionably life altering, BUT… EDUCATION, COUNSELING, and SUPPORT about how to take these medications safely and effectively is critical.
Forget all the negative press about GLPs you read on social media and everywhere else. It’s all because people weren’t taught and counseled on how to take the medication properly.
This group is the real thing. You’re going to learn the truth about how to manage GLPs! No misinformation! Your GLP journey will be smooth as it can be because you will learn how to take these medications safely and effectively.
We’ve been working with GLPs for close to three years. We offer 75-minutes a week of education, counseling, and support, with peers just like you getting started or considering a GLP, and with two very weight-loss and GLP-experienced professionals. THERE’S NO OTHER SUPPORT GROUP LIKE THIS IN THE COUNTRY!
