Optimising outcomes for clients on GLP-1 agonist medication
Being a part of the changing world of weight loss medications
Individuals taking medication for weight loss must have access to evidence-based lifestyle interventions delivered by registered dietitian nutritionists. There are multifaceted aspects related to taking these medications including ensuring nutritional adequacy, setting realistic goals, managing side effects, supporting healthy lifestyles, prevention of muscle loss and maintenance of weight loss(1).
The presentation covers:
- Identifying the multifaceted role of the Registered Dietitian working with patients on GLP/GIP medications.
