The GLP-1 Revolution: Metabolic Health, High-Protein Nutrition & Equity

GLP-1 medications are changing approaches to obesity, diabetes, weight management, and metabolic health. But medication is only one part of the patient journey.

This session examines the broader support system surrounding GLP-1 treatment, including nutrition, adequate protein intake, lifestyle considerations, patient education, and ongoing support. It also explores health-equity challenges that may make access to appropriate nutrition and professional guidance more difficult for underserved communities.

Participants will consider how clinicians, nutrition professionals, community organizations, researchers, and technology teams can contribute to patient-centered support.

What participants will explore: fundamentals of the GLP-1 patient journey; nutrition and protein considerations; challenges patients may experience during treatment; health and nutrition equity; community-based support models; and opportunities for responsible technology and AI-enabled patient support.
