GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are becoming increasingly popular for treating and managing obesity. Most people taking these medications do not have a nutrition plan. They also may be hearing misinformation about weight-loss medications on social media.

As registered dietitians, it's important to understand how these medications impact patient nutrition, particularly when it comes to key nutrients like protein and fiber, while meeting modern learning preferences. This interactive session aims to fill that void with evidence-based yet practical recommendations for meals and snacks specific to the needs of this population.

The session will provide an overview of the current anti-obesity medications (AOMs) including indications, contraindications, uses and side effects, and will review practical counseling strategies, along with tips for spotting evidence-based food and nutrition information on social media.

With an emphasis on meeting key nutritional needs with practical cooking skills, attendees will learn how to leverage recipes and food trends to engage and educate patients and move them toward a balanced, sustainable diet for long-term success.
