Megan Pate opened Reset Solutions in 2023 to make GLP-1 medications more accessible while reframing them as a weight-loss tool to support sustainable health habits. Drawing from her own experience struggling with weight loss, Pate said Reset Solutions combines medication administered by a physician with coaching focused on long-term health habits to help clients reach their goals while building a healthier relationship with their bodies. How it works Pate said GLP-1 weight loss medications can address the biological factors that help people maintain their weight loss, including hormonal factors caused by diet changes. While exercise and a healthy diet can help provide long-term health, Pate said most weight loss through dieting and discipline is gained back within two years. “GLP-1 [medications] can be your tool to achieve weight loss, but diet and exercise are still incredibly important; exercise is the No. 1 thing that you can do to improve your long-term health outcomes. So it’s not that they don’t work. They just work for dierent goals,” Pate said. By combining practical coaching on healthy movement and eating with GLP-1 medications, Pate said Reset Solutions can help people maintain weight loss and health by using weight-loss medications as a tool rather than as a solution.
First-time clients at Reset Solutions are evaluated by a doctor to determine if they are an appropriate candidate for GLP-1 medications and provided with the appropriate dosage, Pate said. Diving in deeper During check-ins and practical coaching sessions, clients are provided with support and guidance while medications are being administered, Pate said. Since several side eects can be caused by GLP-1 medications such as nausea, constipation and diarrhea, Pate said her medical team monitors clients and often starts treatment with small dosages of medications to reduce side eects. While side eects are typically mild and temporary, Reset Solutions provides clients with nutrition programs that promote ber-rich diets and minimally processed foods to help alleviate the side eects while maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Pate said. Pate said while people typically respond to the medication dierently, the majority see results within the rst couple of weeks. Reset Solutions also oers resting metabolic rate testing through which individuals are able to get a complete picture of how their bodies burn energy as well as body composition body scans to track fat loss and visualize progress, Pate said.
