Why This Course Was Created
“GLP-1 receptor agonists are revolutionizing metabolic care. But medication alone doesn’t ensure success.
Patients need support with GI tolerance, nutrition adequacy, muscle preservation, and sustainability planning. As GLP-1 use rapidly expands—especially through telehealth—providers across all settings are managing these patients, often without comprehensive training.
This 1-hour CE program takes an integrative approach: evidence-based pharmacotherapy combined with nutrition, lifestyle, and metabolic strategies that support real-world outcomes. No functional medicine background required. Just practical tools for better patient care.”
