GLP-1 medications do not inherently cause muscle loss.

Loss of lean mass occurs when caloric intake is too low, protein is inadequate, and resistance training is absent.

This is why our programs are medically supervised and strength-forward—not medication-only.

Drop a 🌅 in the comments if you want early access.

Up to 80–90% of people who lose weight will regain some or all of it over time—regardless of the method used—unless long-term maintenance skills are intentionally built.

This includes people who lose weight with GLP-1 medications.
These medications can be powerful tools, but they are not a stand-alone solution.

As access to certain compounded GLP-1 options changes, one thing is clear:
👉 Sustainable weight loss depends on physiology, behavior, and ongoing medical support—not just a prescription.

At Aspect Wellness, we don’t treat maintenance as an afterthought.
It’s the foundation of our medical weight-loss approach.

If your goal is to be in the minority who keep the weight off long-term, your plan needs to evolve beyond weight loss alone.

We now offer new plans, updated pricing, and more flexible ways to work with our team—all rooted in evidence-based obesity medicine and long-term metabolic health.

Affordable. Flexible. Effective.
