Discover the low-cost, no-injection Ozempic alternative that makes exercise even more effective and is helping women like Janet lose 10 lbs in a month!

After decades of binge eating, Janet Allen tried Contrave, a weight-loss medicine that acts on reward pathways in the brain to quiet appetite and boost mood. She paired that pill with walking and unlocked a level of success she never knew was possible. Despite being in menopause, she shed 115 pounds-without the sagging skin that's so common among women who lose weight. Now at 61, she's in the best shape of her life. The best part? Unlike newer drugs like Ozempic, which cost up to $1,000 a month, Contrave is affordable. Here, how this combo works on your waistline, willpower and wallet.

Many of us are looking for the one magic bullet that will unlock weight loss. But what if the answer is actually two easy tweaks that complement each other perfectly to amplify results? That looks to be the case with a little-known diet pill called Contrave and the world's most popular exercise: walking.

Why this combo cures

Ivy League-educated obesity expert Katherine Saunders, M.D., cofounder of FlyteHealth, says, "Obesity is a heterogeneous disease." It is caused by many different factors and thus needs different treatments. Dr. Saunders, who has given a popular TED Talk about obesity care, says what works best is a "comprehensive, personal and multifactorial treatment plan." Often, that means combining medication with other health habits-a duo she describes as "life-changing and lifesaving." Indeed, stories like Janet's aren't rare. Dr. Saunders says, "I see women over 50 have success every day. It's one of the reasons why I love what I do." She witnesses patients experience " what science calls "super responder-level weight loss,' meaning they shed far more weight than doctors expect. Dr. Saunders explains, "Contrave and other anti-obesity medications allow women who are unable to lose weight with diet and exercise alone to treat their obesity successfully."
