GLP-1 -KKW policy on weight loss medication and working collaboratively with clients.

At KKW, we exclusively provide one-on-one behavioral nutrition coaching and single services, focusing on remediating clients' negative behaviors towards their nutrition. We use a behavioral and cognitive approach to help clients in their journey to achieve long-term sustainable lifestyle changes with the residual effect being weight loss and weight maintenance. We work with individuals of all sizes and we provide programs and protocols based on very individualized needs and preferences. We provide a macro-based and balanced approach. We believe in frequently eating to properly nourish the body within the construct of a macro- and micro-nutrient profile. 

Regardless of supplementation chosen by our clients, our focus is on 90-100% of the equation, which is changing our relationship with food and how we eat to achieve, and most importantly, sustain the results. 

We stand firm on the fact that no one should be taking these drugs in isolation, but instead they should be used with a comprehensive approach of remediating their relationship towards food and implementing proper strength resistance training. 

 If a client using GLP-1 decides to enroll in any of our programs, single services, or one-on-one behavioral coaching, to include our Eating Freely program, we will provide all of the proper cognitive and behavioral supports to help the client individually fuel their body and shape their relationship towards food.  The shots may be prescribed by a physician to reduce the food noise, reduce appetite, and slow down digestion, but they do not address the root cause and the change that needs to occur - how the client fuels their body. 

Our model is extremely effective in working simultaneously with clients who may choose to use these weight loss drugs, but we will not provide any direction to our clients on the side effects or the titration of the drugs. We will refer you back to your physician for that guidance. 

 If a client is choosing to to begin a GLP-1 protocol, we ask that they share this information with their coach. If your protocol is going to be discontinued, we would also ask that you share this with your coach. Lastly, if you’re planning on participating in our Evolve program, you are absolutely more than welcome, but you will not be able to be judged for cash prizes at the end. This is a minimal portion of the value to the six-month program as a whole. As long as you disclose that you are on GLP-1 at registration or during the Evolve, you are welcome to join.
