A 12-month digital weight management program integrating tirzepatide with behavioral coaching achieves clinically meaningful weight loss (mean 22.7%) and significant improvements in binge eating and depressive symptoms.
If you have obesity and are considering medication, a structured program that combines tirzepatide with digital coaching and support can lead to significant weight loss (over 22% on average) and improvements in mental health and binge eating. Expect some initial side effects like nausea, but these often subside, and clinical support is available to help you manage them.
The Voyager programme integrating tirzepatide achieved clinically meaningful weight loss and broad metabolic and psychological improvements over 12 months... At 12 months, mean WL reached 22.7%... BES scores fell by 18 points... and PHQ-9 by 3.06 points
Why this rating
