Beyond Willpower

Willpower has never been the whole story. If you've struggled with your weight, tried every diet and are now wondering about (or already using) GLP‑1s, this book explains what's really going on in your body and what to do next.

In BEYOND WILLPOWER, obesity doctors Dr Mariëtte Boon and Professor Liesbeth van Rossum show how fat acts as a complex organ that talks to your brain, shapes your hormones and metabolism, and is affected by sleep, stress, muscle and your gut microbiome.

You'll find a clear, comprehensive guide to today's obesity treatments, including GLP‑1s and dual agonists, showing what they can and can't do, who they're for, how to manage side effects and how to avoid the common traps that lead to disappointment and rebound weight gain.

Blending cutting‑edge science with practical, step‑by‑step advice, BEYOND WILLPOWER helps you find the right combination of treatment and behaviour change for you. Compassionate, myth‑busting and utterly up to date, it is your essential guide to understanding and tackling excess weight in the age of GLP‑1s.
