GLP-1 and Beyond: What Everyone Needs to Know

Format:  Instant access |  Digital | Self-Paced | Certificate of Attendance | Lifetime Access
 
GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are transforming conversations about weight, health, and treatment options. But what do we really know about them so far, and where might the future lead?
 
With rapidly emerging research and growing use worldwide, GLP-1 receptor agonists raise both excitement and concern. From questions of long-term safety and effectiveness, to issues of access, equity, and the psychological impact of prescribing, people are being asked to navigate complex territory - whether they are considering these medications themselves, supporting others, or working with clients.
 
This training goes beyond the headlines to explore what GLP-1s mean in practice. You’ll gain balanced, up-to-date insights into the science, the benefits and drawbacks, and the broader context, including what may come next in the field of weight-related treatments.
 
Led by Bernie Wright, Lisa Smith, and Mel Ciavucco, this interactive session brings together expertise in counselling, nutrition, and health to unpack this fast-moving topic in a clear, nuanced, and accessible way.
 
What You’ll Learn:
 
What GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.) are, how they work, and what the current evidence shows
The potential benefits and risks - medical, psychological, and social
Questions of access, equity, stigma, and the cultural narratives surrounding weight
What we know (and don’t yet know) about the long-term outlook and “what comes after” GLP-1s
How to make or support informed, autonomous decisions about treatment options
