The Science
Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight and Keep It Off?
Weight is regulated by hormones, not willpower. Your body maintains a hormonal “set point” - and when you try to lose weight through diet alone, your body fights back with increased hunger, stronger cravings, and a slower metabolism.
That's why the Pound of Cure program uses GLP-1 medications to lower your set point while our nutritional program teaches you sustainable eating habits. The medications make the dietary changes easier, and the dietary changes make the medications work better.
“I work with all individuals, regardless of where they're at in the decision-making process. All candidates benefit greatly from my program, and it's a great litmus test for determining if surgery is right for them.”- Dr. Matthew Weiner

The Breakthrough
Are GLP-1 Medications the Biggest Advance Since Surgery?
Yes. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) represent the most significant advance in weight loss medicine since bariatric surgery. They work by mimicking the hormones your body naturally produces after meals - reducing appetite, quieting food cravings, and even changing food preferences toward healthier options.
Dr. Weiner's research shows these medications drive the same hormonal shifts as bariatric surgery. Patients typically lose 15-25% of their body weight, and when combined with our nutritional program, results are even more dramatic.
