Episode 56: The Real Cause Behind GLP-1 Rebound Weight Gain (Part 3 of 3)

Send us your questions & comments Discover what the 14% who keep the weight off do long before they stop! In the final episode of her three-part August 2026 series, Joanne Willis tackles the question she believes sits underneath almost every GLP-1 decision, whether people say it out loud or not: what happens when I stop? Joanne walks through two 2026 studies that, on the surface, seem to tell opposite stories; one showing rapid weight regain after stopping and one showing many people avoid it entirely, and why these studies claim different results. Joanne then reveals the single detail buried in the data that makes sense of both of these studies and she shares two real, publicly documented stories of women with very different outcomes after stopping their medication. Joanne also breaks down what the World Health Organization actually says about how to truly benefit from a GLP-1 medication and why this strategy should be a non-negotiable for everyone. Lastly, Joanne answers some of her most frequently asked questions around GLP-1s, specifically from women navigating perimenopause and post-menopause. To learn the exact step-by-step strategy Joanne uses with her clients who are on a GLP-1 medication or who are looking to avoid starting one, register for Joanne's upcoming live online workshop, "Ozempic & GLP-1s: How to Get the Benefits Without the Side Effects" on Wednesday August 19th at 7pm EST.
