GLP-1 weight-loss medications are changing — and not in the way most people realize.

Drugmakers are now redesigning these medications for long-term use because many patients experience:

• Weight regain after stopping the medication
• Loss of muscle mass during treatment
• Limited results when medication is used alone

This marks a shift from short-term weight loss to managing weight as a chronic metabolic condition.

At Prime Surgicare, Dr. Seun Sowemimo prescribes GLP-1 medications as part of a medically supervised weight-management plan — with a clear focus on long-term outcomes, not quick fixes.

If you’re using or considering a GLP-1, this is worth understanding.

Sobering and yet inspiring statistics:

The same diet that’s anti-cancer is also anti-heart disease and anti-lung disease. Following cancer prevention guidelines for lifestyle and diet may increase longevity.
Adherence to cancer prevention recommendations isn’t just associated with higher survival in cancer patients and lower risk of dying from cancer, but lower risk of dying overall. That’s the beauty of eating a more plant-based diet.

Thirty to 50 percent of common cancers are preventable with diet and lifestyle. We have the power to change our health destiny.

A healthy lifestyle that includes a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes may help reduce the number of breast cancer incidences, for example.

The American Institute for Cancer Research recommendations include maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and eating a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, while limiting fast food, processed junk, meats, soda, and alcohol.

Specific to breast cancer, those who met most of those recommendations only had half the risk, compared to individuals who only met a couple. If you could only do one of those recommendations, limiting animal foods seems most protective. Adherence to the recommendations is also associated with higher survival in people who already have cancer.

Higher dietary fiber consumption was associated with a 37 percent lower risk of dying from all causes put together and a 28 percent lower risk of dying specifically from breast cancer among breast cancer survivors––and it didn’t take much. There was about a 10 percent drop in death risk for every increment of 5 daily grams of dietary fiber. That’s like a cup of oatmeal or broccoli, or just a third of a cup of beans.

When it comes to weight loss and weight management, calorie counting isn’t the whole story—and for many patients, it’s not even the right one.

This The New York Times article explains why weight loss is more complex than simply calories in vs. calories out.

From insulin response to metabolic adaptation, the science matters.

At Prime Surgicare, Medical Director and weight loss expert Dr. Seun Sowemimo and his Dr. Seun's Weight Loss Plan, focus on evidence-based, metabolic-first weight loss strategies that go beyond outdated nutrition advice and help you to keep the weight off--not just lose it.

Read this health education article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/dining/calorie-counting-weight-loss-nutrition.html?unlocked_article_code=1.F1A.v7S2.J5LkwALyzOCF&smid=em-share

Long held up as the big benchmark of nutrition, the calorie is losing its clout in the age of GLP-1s and a sharper focus on nutrients.

❌ Share this with the people who matter to you.
❌ Ignore the marketing.
❌ Turn off the cute ads on television or your device.
❌ Say no to cancer-causing foods.
❌ Now.

Colore**al cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and women combined, after lung cancer. So, if you don’t smoke, colon and re**al cancer may be your greatest cancer nemesis.

We can drop our risk of getting it by about a fifth with a single dietary tweak: Cut a serving of processed meat out of our daily diet. Not just colon and re**al cancers either. If you look at the science since the IARC decision was published, processed meat may also increase the risk of prostate cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Stress isn’t just emotional — it’s metabolic.

Chronic stress drives inflammation, disrupts hormones, and makes sustainable weight loss harder than it needs to be. In this short video, Dr. Seun Sowemimo explains why stress reduction is a non-negotiable part of long-term health.

Watch. Reset. Build habits that actually work.
