GLP-1s Aren’t Enough Anymore — Why STAAR GPS™ is the Future

GLP-1s Aren’t Enough Anymore — Why STAAR GPS™ is the Future

GLP-1s changed everything. But they’re not the whole story.

The future of weight loss doesn’t rely on one molecule — it demands a smarter, multi-pathway protocol.

That’s why STAAR GPS™ was born.

The Limitations of GLP-1 Therapy Alone

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and dulaglutide have revolutionized the weight loss industry, but patients and providers are now facing plateaus, side effects, and skyrocketing costs.

Here’s what we’ve learned from the front lines of real-world use:

  • Initial weight loss slows or stalls after 8–12 weeks

  • Lean muscle mass can decline, impacting long-term metabolism

  • Insulin resistance can persist, especially in stubborn cases

  • Access is shrinking due to FDA restrictions and branded drug prices ($1,000+/month)

GLP-1 alone is no longer enough.

The STAAR GPS Protocol™: A Smarter Way Forward

STAAR GPS™ stands for:

GLP-1 (e.g., liraglutide or dulaglutide)
Pramlintide
SLM+ by STAAR LABS

This protocol tackles weight loss through three synergistic metabolic pathways:

  1. Appetite Suppression — via GLP-1 & amylin analogs

  2. Gastric Emptying Delay — improves satiety and glucose control

  3. Metabolic Optimization — through SLM+ supporting GIP-like activity, insulin sensitivity, and lean mass protection

Each component serves a distinct function. Together, they deliver sustained results.

What Happens When You Combine GLP-1 + Pramlintide + SLM+?

Research-Backed Synergy:

  • GLP-1 + Pramlintide: Co-administration boosts weight loss by enhancing satiety and suppressing appetite more  than GLP-1 alone (clinical trials confirm amylin’s additive benefits).

  • SLM+:  targeting insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism, and glucose control — while also providing GIP-like support without the GIP receptor may enhance weight loss by up to 50% more than GLP-1 alone..

Why Muscle Preservation Matters

GLP-1s often reduce total weight, but not always fat mass. Losing muscle weakens your metabolism and increases long-term weight regain risk.

SLM+ was engineered to address this exact problem, helping preserve lean tissue and energy expenditure during calorie reduction.

What Makes GPS™ the Future of Clinical Protocols?



This is next-generation protocol design — created by clinicians, supported by innovation, and informed by real-world results.

How to Get Started

STAAR GPS is currently available in two prescription-based options:

  • GPS-L™: Liraglutide + Pramlintide + SLM+

  • GPS-D™: Dulaglutide + Pramlintide + SLM+

Provider Insight

“I used to rely on semaglutide alone, but my patients hit a wall. With GPS, we’ve seen better results, fewer plateaus, and a stronger metabolic foundation.”
— Dr. Caroline M., MD | Endocrinologist

Summary

GLP-1s opened the door.

STAAR GPS™ maps the path forward.

It’s time for a multi-targeted, muscle-sparing, research-informed approach to weight loss — and it starts with GPS.
