Phentermine / Topiramate

The reason these medications are so powerful for the hungry brain phenotype is that they work at the brain level and they help to block hunger signals to the brain.

So somebody who is able to take Phentermine or Qsymia and they have hungry brain, they are going to notice that they are no longer having that excessive hunger.

They're no longer having to fight constant hunger throughout the day.

They're able to stick to their nutrition plan, eat those three healthy meals throughout the day, and move on with their life.

They're not having to constantly resist or give in to their excessive hunger because the Phentermine or Qsymia is controlling their hunger.

It's important to know that Phentermine is a stimulant and therefore it's a controlled medication.

And so to be prescribed this, you need to be seen by an in-person physician who can evaluate you and check your vital signs to make sure it is safe to take this medication.

It yields a robust nine percent to ten percent weight loss.
