NICE Confirms It – People Need Ongoing Support to Keep the Weight Off
Aug 05, 2025
The latest announcement from NICE (August 2025) sends a clear message:
“People who stop obesity medication or finish a structured weight management programme must be offered continued support to help maintain weight loss.”
It’s official. Support shouldn’t stop when the treatment ends—and as therapists, this is where we come in.
Auricular Acupuncture Gives You a Way to Help 👂
You already know that weight loss isn’t just about willpower. It’s about the nervous system, stress levels, cravings, emotional resilience, and long-term consistency.
Our Auricular Acupuncture for Weight Management course equips you to offer exactly that kind of support.
✓ Target appetite, cravings and emotional eating
✓ Help regulate stress and mood
✓ Provide an ongoing therapeutic relationship
✓ Build a bridge between “treatment complete” and “real-life maintenance”
Why It Matters 🎯
Without structured follow-up, clients risk rapid weight regain—especially after stopping GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Mounjaro. NICE is urging practitioners to act now, ensuring that support continues well beyond the end of a programme.
That’s exactly what auricular acupuncture can provide: sustainable, accessible, and supportive care that meets clients where they are.
