Obesity & Weight Management in the GLP-1 Era

Semaglutide and tirzepatide changed obesity care. For many patients, the question is no longer access to medication. It is whether the care surrounding it protects muscle mass, nutritional status, and long-term metabolic health. This course equips integrative clinicians to answer that question in practice.

How weight management has changed

Obesity care can no longer be reduced to "eat less and move more." Patients arrive curious about medication, already using it, experiencing side effects, losing muscle, or seeking alternatives. Integrative clinicians need a clear position; not ideological opposition or uncritical endorsement, but a responsible co-management framework

Modules

Module

01

Obesity as a disease

Reframing weight-management conversations in a way that is biologically informed and less shame-based.

Module

02

The GLP-1 receptor agonist revolution

Clinical literacy around semaglutide and tirzepatide: mechanism, evidence, and how to discuss, refer, and co-manage responsibly within your scope.

Module

03

The integrative co-management protocol

What integrative support looks like for patients already using GLP-1 medications, and how to build a co-management plan that protects nutritional status and functional health during active weight loss.

Module

04

The discontinuation problem

Supporting patients through the transition from medication-supported weight loss into long-term maintenance.

Module

05

Hormonal regulation of weight

Identifying underlying contributors — thyroid, cortisol, sleep, insulin — that affect weight, energy, appetite, adherence, and long-term outcomes.

Module

06

Intermittent fasting in 2026

When fasting is useful, when it should be modified, and when it should be avoided in weight-management patients.

Module

07

Patient case workflows

Structured pathways for the six clinical presentations: assessment, support plan, monitoring, and referral.

Module

08

The integrative product landscape

Helping patients understand what may be supportive, what is overstated, and what should not be positioned as a replacement for appropriate medical care.

What you'll be able to do

Explain obesity through a modern biological and clinical framework, not a behavioural one alone.

Discuss semaglutide and tirzepatide with enough professional literacy to educate, refer, and co-manage — within scope.

Recognise when referral to a prescribing clinician is appropriate, and communicate effectively across care teams.

Support patients already using GLP-1 medications: nutrition, hydration, gastrointestinal tolerance, protein intake, and muscle preservation.

Identify sarcopenia risk during rapid weight loss and build a practical prevention plan.

Address hormonal, sleep, stress, and metabolic factors that GLP-1 medications do not resolve.

Evaluate intermittent fasting more carefully in weight-management patients.

Respond to patients seeking natural GLP-1 alternatives without hype or dismissal.

Use structured patient-scenario workflows for the six clinical presentations this course covers.

What's included

  • Prescribing-clinician communication templates

  • GLP-1 co-management checklists

  • Referral guides

  • Protein and sarcopenia-risk tools

  • Micronutrient checklists

  • Six patient scenario workflows covering curiosity through discontinuation.

The full track, or a single course

The full track, or a single course

Individual courses answer focused questions. The full track teaches you how those questions connect. A patient on a GLP-1 medication may also carry sarcopenia risk, gut symptoms, micronutrient gaps, and a disordered-eating pattern at the same time. Treating each in isolation misses the case. The value of the full track is seeing the whole picture.

The integrative role

GLP-1 medications reduce appetite and support significant weight loss. They do not create a complete care plan. Patients still need support with protein adequacy, muscle preservation, micronutrient intake, digestive symptoms, sleep and stress physiology, insulin resistance, hormonal contributors, and long-term maintenance. Disordered eating risk is a consideration pharmacology does not address.

From weight-loss advice to clinical co-management

The course is built around six real-world patient presentations.
