GLP-1 medications have transformed the landscape of weight management, but sustainable outcomes require far more than a prescription alone. In this episode, psychologist Glenn Mackintosh joins Laurence Katsaras to explore the critical role of mindset, behaviour change and collaborative care in supporting people using weight loss medications. Together they unpack why long-term success depends on viewing GLP-1s as one tool within a broader, patient-centred strategy—integrating nutrition, movement, psychology and medical care rather than relying on a single intervention.

Glenn also introduces his "Weight Loss Medication Success Blueprint", discusses the psychology behind weight regain, false hope syndrome and the importance of setting realistic expectations from the outset. This conversation offers practical insights into identifying when patients need additional support, incorporating mental health screening into clinical care, and strengthening interdisciplinary communication to improve long-term outcomes.
