GLP-1 maintenance after medication

Most GLP-1 trials show meaningful weight regain when patients stop the medication. The maintenance question is the most important one in this category, and most programs answer it badly or not at all. Honesty about regain risk is itself a signal.

Who this guide is for

Patients approaching their target weight, evaluating long-term cost, or who have already stopped a GLP-1 and want behavioral support to maintain.

How we ranked

We rank by whether the program retains value if you stop the medication. Structured taper protocol, peer community that survives Rx exit, dietitian access without active Rx all count.

    Henry Meds — flat-rate compounded GLP-1, no hidden fees

    Why we picked it

    Flat-rate all-in pricing removes the medication-vs-membership cost surprise. No intro-to-renewal cliff. Strong adherence email cadence.

    Who should skip

    Skip if you have strong insurance coverage — Henry's flat cash rate can't beat a covered copay.

    Noom Med — GLP-1 + behavioral psychology coaching

    Why we picked it

    The behavioral curriculum has 17 years of compliance data behind it, and the muscle-defense program addresses lean-mass loss that pure-Rx programs ignore.

    Who should skip

    Skip if you only want the prescription — you'll pay for a coaching layer you won't open.
