The GLP-1 Exit Strategy is a practical and compassionate guide to life after weight-loss injections. Millions of people have found hope and healing through GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. But what comes next? The GLP-1 Exit Strategy is the first comprehensive guide designed specifically for individuals transitioning off weight loss injections, offering the knowledge, tools, and emotional support needed to sustain their transformation for life.
Drawing from psychology, behavioural science, and real-world experience, this empowering book helps readers navigate the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that occur after stopping medication. It replaces fear with confidence and provides a safety net for anyone afraid of weight regain, loss of control, or old habits returning.

The GLP-1 Exit Strategy is the essential guide for navigating the emotional, physical, and psychological challenges that follow GLP-1 treatment. As countless users are now learning, weight loss is only half the battle—maintenance is where the real work begins.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience, authors Martin and Marion Shirran—renowned for their pioneering work in obesity psychology and creators of Tactile Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TCBT)—deliver a powerful, practical roadmap for post-medication success. Backed by science and rich with relatable case studies, The GLP-1 Exit Strategy is a toolkit for those transitioning from a course of GLP-1 medications.
The GLP-1 Exit Strategy has been written as an essential guide, a roadmap to help patients transition and navigate what comes after the medications stop. While the injections helped them lose the weight, we know it’s their mindset, habits, and strategy going forward that will ensure the weight loss achieved is permanent. The book is overflowing with proven, practical, real-world advice to help them maintain their transformation and thrive. The readers are not starting over; they are moving forward. Throughout the book, readers are additionally introduced to a group of individuals that are in the post GLP phase, and have successfully navigated the transition.
Award-Winning Programme
The GLP-1 Exit Strategy from Oxford Therapeutics has already piqued the interest of healthcare professionals aware of the importance of ‘wraparound’ care for individuals transitioning from GLP-1 therapy. Many have been seeking a proven behaviour change, diet/exercise programme for their patients, to partner with their prescribing of GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is hoped that this book will fill the void.
Food and Drug Administration
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated that GLP-1 receptor agonist weight-loss medications be prescribed in conjunction with a behavioural change programme. The FDA’s approach aims to ensure that patients not only lose weight but also adopt healthier lifestyle habits, which is crucial for maintaining their weight loss in the long term. This regulatory stance underscores the necessity of a comprehensive treatment plan, as detailed on the pages of this website.
NICE
Similarly, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom advocates a multifaceted approach to weight management. NICE recommends that weight-loss medications be integrated into a comprehensive weight management programme. The guidance from NICE emphasises the importance of addressing obesity through a holistic and sustainable approach, aiming to deliver long-term health benefits and improved quality of life for patients.

Oxford Therapeutics
Martin and Marion Shirran, the founders of Oxford Therapeutics, were responsible for developing the upgrade to the traditional Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) approaches and techniques. It’s known as Tactile Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or TCBT. “In a single moment, you have elevated CBT from being a completely passive therapy into a useful tactile alternative!” (Dr Theano Kalavana). Academics, including Professor Windy Dryden, of Goldsmiths University London, and Professor Philip Zimbardo, of Stanford University, in San Francisco, have endorsed the therapy. Professor Zimbardo wrote the foreword to their recent book regarding TCBT, published by Hay House.
