Engagement with a digital weight management platform (coaching, app usage, weight tracking) significantly enhances weight loss outcomes in individuals using GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists compared to pharmacotherapy alone.

If you are using GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medications for weight loss, actively using the supporting digital tools (app, coaching, tracking) will help you lose significantly more weight than just taking the medication alone. Aim to attend coaching sessions, track your weight weekly, and use the app regularly to maximize your results.
