Where are we now? What’s shifting? What do helping professionals need to know?
The landscape of GLP-1 medications continues to evolve at a remarkable speed. More people than ever are being prescribed these medications—for diabetes, for weight loss, and increasingly for a growing list of “secondary uses” that carry both promise and uncertainty.
Clinicians, dietitians, coaches, and community care providers are asking important questions:
• How do we talk about these medications in a way that is ethical, nuanced, and client-centered?
• What claims are supported by evidence, and which ones are being amplified by hype or marketing?
• How do we support people who are navigating complex emotions, histories, and hopes around these medications?
This annual webinar creates a space for grounded conversation, updated information, and practical tools that support dignity and autonomy in care.
