Webinar Summary

GLP-1 receptor agonists are transforming the landscape of obesity care, metabolic health, and chronic disease management. Yet, successful outcomes require more than medication alone. This 2-part webinar series brings together leading experts in functional medicine, nutrition, and patient care to bridge science with clinical application.

Across four engaging sessions, practitioners will gain:

  1.  A clear understanding of GLP-1 mechanisms and multi-system effects.
  2. Insights into patient perspectives, knowledge gaps, and current prescribing trends.
  3.  Practical strategies for supporting gut health, nutrient absorption, and symptom management during therapy.
  4. A structured framework through the Metagenics GLP-1 Companion Program, offering phased, evidence-informed support before, during, and after GLP-1 use.

With clinical pearls, case-based learning, and actionable takeaways, this series equips practitioners with the tools to optimize patient outcomes, safeguard long-term metabolic resilience, and integrate lifestyle and supplementation strategies alongside GLP-1 therapies.
