Coming off Ozempic or other GLP-1 medications
doesn't have to mean starting over.
The fear of hunger returning is real. So is the worry about undoing what you worked for. Hypnotherapy helps you hold your progress and
build the internal foundation that outlasts the medication.
What most people feel...
The transition off GLP-1 is as much mental as physical
If you're stopping a GLP-1 medication: by choice, due to cost, side effects, or because your doctor says it's time, you're probably asking yourself: "Will I go back to where I was?"
That fear is valid. Studies do show weight regain after stopping these medications when nothing else has changed. But the key phrase is when nothing else has changed.
If you've developed new habits, a different relationship with food, and the mental patterns that support those choices, then the picture changes. Hypnotherapy is specifically designed to build those internal shifts.
This work is best started before or during the taper. Not after the hunger comes back full force.
The work...
How hypnotherapy supports the transition
Anchoring new eating patterns
We work together to make the habits you built on medication feel automatic and natural, so they're yours, not the drug's.
Reducing transition anxiety
Anxiety about regaining weight can itself drive emotional eating. Hypnotherapy directly addresses that loop.
Breaking old associations
Stress, boredom, and celebration are still going to show up. We build new, more neutral responses to those triggers.
Managing the return of appetite
When physical hunger signals are suppressed, emotional triggers become more obvious. We work on those directly.
Rebuilding the "why" behind choices
When medication suppression fades, motivation and values need to carry you. We reinforce those in the subconscious.
Confidence in the process
Believing you can hold your progress is itself a factor in holding it. We build that belief from the inside out.
Your Hypnotist
Hi, I'm Erika Slater
Certified Hypnotist · In practice since 2004 · Cape Cod, MA
I've worked with clients on weight loss, habit change, anxiety, and addictions for over 20 years. I bring warmth, directness, and a deeply practical approach — no theatrics.
My work with GLP-1 clients focuses on what the medication can't do: quiet food noise at the source, rebuild your relationship with your body, and make new patterns feel natural rather than forced.
Sessions are available in person at her Mashpee office on Cape Cod, or online via Zoom.
