For physicians, NPs, PAs and GLP-1 clinics
Your prescription drops the weight. We help your patients keep the muscle.
Morphix is a strength and nutrition coaching partner for patients on GLP-1 medications. We never push anyone off their medication. We help them get the most out of it, protect lean mass and build habits that hold.
Fitness and nutrition coaching only. Morphix does not prescribe, dose or advise stopping medication.
Why we're reaching out
The medication works. What happens between visits decides how well the results hold.
- 01Patients are losing muscle along with fatIn the STEP 1 DXA substudy, lean body mass fell 9.7% alongside about 15% body weight loss. Fat fell more, but lean mass went too. Wilding et al., 2021
- 02Medical societies call for lifestyle supportA 2025 joint advisory from ACLM, ASN, OMA and The Obesity Society lists adequate protein and resistance training to preserve lean mass among its eight priorities for GLP-1 therapy. The Obesity Society
- 03Most patients don't get that supportThe same advisory notes most people prescribed GLP-1s don't receive adequate nutritional counseling or behavioral support.
- 04Obesity is chronicOne year after STEP 1 participants stopped both semaglutide and the lifestyle program, they had regained about two-thirds of the weight they lost. Wilding et al., 2022
Our position
We're not here to take anyone off a GLP-1.
Decisions about dose, duration and tapering belong to you and your patient. Our job is to build what supports any plan you choose: more muscle, better protein habits and a routine that holds, whether treatment continues for years or is eventually stepped down.
"Medicine and fitness, working as one team, can change lives in a way that lasts." — Coach Bear

Questions
Provider FAQ
Will you tell my patients to stop their medication?
Never. Medication decisions belong to you and your patient. We coach strength, protein and habits that support the plan you set.
Do you need medical clearance?
Yes. We ask for clearance and a health history before a patient starts, and we adjust training around any limits you note.
What do you do if a patient has side effects?
We adjust training and food timing for normal, mild side effects. Anything concerning, such as persistent vomiting, dehydration, dizziness or severe pain, goes straight back to you.
How do progress updates work?
Only with the patient's written consent. We send a short summary of training, consistency and body-composition progress before follow-up visits.
Is there a cost to our practice?
No. Patients pay for their own coaching. Staff lunch-and-learns and patient handouts are free.
