Wegovy & Diet Medication Rebound Management

The key during medication tapering is "protecting muscle in the space left behind." Cardio alone struggles to prevent muscle loss, so it's recommended to combine strength training two to three times a week with enough protein at every meal (aiming for roughly 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight). When muscle is maintained, your basal metabolism supports you, so even when appetite returns, the same meals lead to less weight gain. Cardio is a good addition for cardiovascular health and overall condition.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

In Korean medicine, a strong digestive system is what allows what you eat to become muscle and energy. At Dongjedang, while the medication is tapered gradually, we work to raise the digestive and absorptive power that has declined, so that the protein you eat and the exercise you do actually translate into muscle recovery. When the body's foundation is set, exercise results follow much more readily.
