GLP-1 Injections vs Slimpod: So what's
the difference?
Slimpod creator Sandra Roycroft-Davis, a Harley Street weight loss specialist, explains the facts
Lately, more and more people are asking: “Should I use injections or Slimpod?”
And the honest answer? They’re very different tools — and they can actually work well together
Two Different Approaches — One Shared Goal
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro work by mimicking a natural hormone that your body already makes when you eat. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar, but it also sends powerful messages to your brain saying, “You’ve had enough.” It slows down how quickly your stomach empties and quietens the urge to keep eating. These medications are like a helpful nudge — not a magic fix, but a tool. They act through your body. But the majority of studies are showing that in order to maintain the weight loss, you need to be on them for life.
Slimpod, on the other hand, works with your brain. Slimpod is a psychology-based audio programme, rooted in behavioural science and supported by NHS-approved studies. We help reset the deeper patterns behind your eating habits and self-beliefs — the drivers that influence your cravings, motivation, and self-worth in the first place. So, instead of relying on rules, willpower, tracking or calorie counting, we help you create lasting change by working with the brain, not against it.
Slimpod supports the emotional and psychological transformation that’s essential for lasting change. That’s the difference. One works from the outside in, the other from the inside out. And for lasting change, you need both your body and brain on board.
The major difference is Slimpod doesn’t stop working when you’re not on the system. The effect is lasting.
Why That Matters
Clinical studies show that the majority of people regain weight once they stop injections. That’s because they haven’t changed the root cause – the underlying habits and emotional patterns that are driving their eating habits..
Slimpod fills that gap. Whether you’re using medication or not, Slimpod works. It helps stop the food noise, reduce reliance on willpower, unravels emotional eating, and brings food relationships back into balance.
It’s not just about eating less — it’s about thinking differently.

Cravings fade naturally.
Emotional eating loses its grip.
You build self-trust without the fight. - Removes Food from the Spotlight
Food stops ruling your thoughts. Whether or not you’re on medication, Slimpod helps:
Reduce anxiety around eating.
Make healthy choices feel easy and natural.

Habits become automatic.
Confidence grows.
Control returns — for good.
What Injections Can’t Do
Medications may dial down appetite whilst you are on them— but they don’t address the underlying cause of “Why”?
Why you overeat when stressed.
Why food brings comfort.
Why it feels hard to stop.
Slimpod gently unravels those patterns.
It doesn’t mask the problem — it retrains it.
