Supporting Patients Beyond Prescribing
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have changed what is possible in weight management. However, the period during and after treatment often raises practical and behavioural challenges that extend beyond the scope of a standard consultation.
Time constraints can make it difficult to address these areas in depth, particularly when patients are navigating changes in appetite, behaviour and expectations.
H2
A Practical Resource Patients Can Use Independently
The GLP-1 Legacy is designed to support patients during and after GLP-1 treatment, providing a structured, accessible guide that they can work through independently.
It focuses on:
- Understanding the changes that occur as medication is reduced or stopped
- Managing appetite, cravings and behavioural triggers
- Building sustainable routines that support long-term weight maintenance
- Navigating real-world challenges such as social eating and alcohol
This allows key behavioural concepts to be introduced and reinforced outside of consultation time.
H2
Reducing Time Pressure in Consultations
By directing patients to a clear, structured resource, clinicians can:
- reduce the need to repeatedly explain common behavioural and post-treatment challenges
- support more consistent patient understanding
- use consultation time more efficiently for individual concerns
The book can act as a foundation, allowing conversations to move more quickly to application and problem-solving.

Where This Fits in Practice
The book is not intended to replace clinical guidance, but to sit alongside it as a practical extension of the consultation.
It can be introduced at the point of initiation, during dose adjustment, or as patients begin to consider reducing or stopping medication. It is particularly relevant when patients start to experience changes in appetite, confidence or eating patterns.
Used in this way, it provides a consistent framework that patients can return to between appointments, helping to reinforce key behavioural messages without adding to consultation time.
H2
Clinical Perspective
The book features an introduction by Professor Jane Ogden, Professor of Health Psychology at the University of Surrey, reflecting the importance of behaviour in long-term weight management.
It has also been positively reviewed by Dr Sarah Clarke, who described it as providing “the guidance that is often missing when GLP-1 treatment ends”.
