GLP-1 Treatment Readiness Assessment for Adults

Medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound have helped many people achieve meaningful weight loss by reducing appetite and improving metabolic regulation. However, as longer-term research has accumulated, studies now show that while these medications are effective during treatment, many individuals regain weight after discontinuing them, often at a steady rate that can lead back toward pre-treatment weight within approximately one to two years. Research also suggests that some of the metabolic and cardiovascular benefits gained during treatment may diminish once medication stops.

These findings highlight that medication alone is rarely a long-term solution and that sustainable outcomes are more likely when behavioral, emotional, and lifestyle factors are addressed alongside treatment. This assessment helps identify those factors and provides guidance to support lasting success.

Considering GLP-1 medications for weight loss?

How GLP-1 Medications Work in the Body

GLP-1 medications support weight loss by working with several systems in the body that influence hunger, fullness, and blood sugar regulation. Many people notice that their appetite decreases and they feel satisfied with smaller portions while taking these medications, which can make weight loss feel more achievable after years of struggle.

At the same time, eating habits, emotional triggers, stress, and long-standing patterns around food do not automatically disappear. These patterns often resurface if medication is stopped or when challenges arise, which is why understanding both the biological effects of medication and the behavioral side of eating is so important.

The illustration below shows how GLP-1 medications affect different areas of the body. The goal of this assessment is to help you build the behavioral and emotional foundation that supports lasting success alongside medical treatment.

This evaluation is for adults who want supportive, practical guidance as they consider or begin treatment with GLP-1 medications.

Many people coming to this assessment have spent years trying to manage their weight, often feeling frustrated, discouraged, or unsure why progress has been so hard to maintain. Starting medication can bring hope, but also questions about what happens next and how to make results last.

This assessment may be especially helpful if you:

• Are starting or considering medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
• Notice that stress, emotions, or difficult days often influence your eating habits
• Have gone through repeated cycles of losing and regaining weight
• Feel unsure how medication will fit into long-term lifestyle changes
• Worry about maintaining progress if medication is reduced or stopped
• Want clarity and support to build sustainable habits alongside treatment

Some people seek this evaluation before starting medication, while others reach out after beginning treatment when challenges or questions come up. Both situations are completely normal.

The purpose of this assessment is not to judge or limit access to treatment. Instead, it helps identify factors that may influence your success and offers guidance to help you move forward with greater confidence and support.

Who This Assessment Is For

This evaluation focuses on the mental, emotional, and behavioral factors that influence eating patterns and long-term treatment success.

During the assessment, we explore the experiences, habits, and emotional patterns that often affect how people relate to food and weight over time.

Areas we may discuss include:

• Emotional triggers or stress that influence eating habits
• Patterns of emotional or loss-of-control eating
• Past experiences with weight loss efforts and how they affected motivation or self-confidence
• Mental health factors that may influence consistency, mood, or coping
• Expectations and concerns regarding GLP-1 treatment
• Readiness to make behavioral changes that support long-term success
• Available supports and emotional or practical challenges moving forward

The goal is to better understand factors that may impact progress and to provide guidance that helps you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

What This Assessment Looks At

Step 1 - Intake Questionnaires

Before the appointment, you’ll complete secure online forms and brief screening questionnaires so important background information is already available when we meet.

Process Steps

We then meet via telehealth for a 90-minute conversation where we review your history, explore emotional and behavioral factors affecting eating patterns, and discuss your experiences and expectations related to GLP-1 medication and weight changes. The goal is to help clarify factors that may influence your long-term success.

Step 2 - Assessment Session

Step 3 - Clinical Summary & Recommendations

After our meeting, you’ll receive a written clinical summary outlining key findings along with personalized recommendations. This summary can be shared with your medical provider, therapist, or other behavioral health professionals if you choose. It also gives you a clearer understanding of your current behavioral and emotional patterns so you can better determine how GLP-1 treatment may support you long term and what steps may increase your chances of maintaining progress.

To help set clear expectations, here are a few things this assessment does not include:

• This is not ongoing therapy or treatment, and scheduling this evaluation does not create a long-term therapy relationship.

• This is not a full psychological or neuropsychological evaluation, and it does not include psychological testing.

• This assessment does not replace medical care, medication management, or monitoring by your prescribing provider.

• This service does not provide nutritional or diet planning guidance, which should be addressed with medical or nutrition professionals if needed.

• This evaluation does not determine eligibility for medication but instead helps identify behavioral and emotional factors that may influence long-term success.

The goal of this assessment is to help you gain clarity about the factors that may influence your experience and outcomes with GLP-1 treatment so you can make informed decisions and move forward with greater confidence.
