Appetite for Answers: Understanding GLP-1s Beyond the Headlines
$25.00
September 18, 2025, 1 pm – 2 pm CT
Webinar for professionals presented by Ragen Chastain, MEd, BCPA
GLP-1 medications are currently a major topic of discussion, and unfortunately, misinformation is spreading—not only among the general public but also within the healthcare field. In this first installment of a three-part series, we’ll explore this new generation of drugs, their approved uses, and the research behind their FDA approval for weight loss, including study methods, findings, and potential conflicts of interest. We’ll also examine how these medications affect eating behavior, such as appetite suppression, side effects, and shifts in one’s relationship with food. Finally, we’ll address the potential harms of these drugs in reinforcing weight stigma and promoting a view of body size as a medical problem.
