GLP-1 Agonists in Clinical Practice: A New Era in Medical Weight Loss
This on demand clinical presentation provides a practical, evidence-based approach to using GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 therapies in medical weight loss. Designed for healthcare providers, the session reviews incretin physiology, compares semaglutide and tirzepatide, and outlines who benefits most while prioritizing safety and appropriate patient selection.
The talk covers real world dosing and titration strategies for compounded therapies, common side effects and mitigation tactics, and how to manage plateaus, maintenance, and tapering. Emphasis is placed on achieving durable results through conservative dosing, body composition tracking, adequate protein intake, resistance training, and supportive lifestyle interventions.
Ideal for clinicians looking to optimize outcomes, improve adherence, and integrate GLP-1 therapies thoughtfully into clinical practice using medications as tools, not shortcuts.
