As more patients consider life after GLP-1 medications, the conversation is shifting from rapid, short-term weight loss to long-term maintenance, metabolic health, and sustainable behavior change. This webinar will explore how a protein-focused approach can support lean muscle, satiety, strength, and healthier body composition during GLP-1 therapy and through the transition off medication.
Participants will examine how under-fueling, inadequate protein intake, and loss of lean mass may contribute to fatigue, increased hunger and food noise, metabolic adaptation, and concerns about weight regain over time. The session will also offer practical counseling strategies to help patients meet protein needs despite reduced appetite and smaller portions, while building sustainable nutrition habits that support long-term success beyond the medication itself.
After viewing the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain the role of lean muscle mass in supporting metabolism, strength, and long-term weight maintenance during and after GLP-1 therapy.
- Describe how adequate protein intake supports satiety, muscle preservation, and metabolic health throughout the GLP-1 journey and transition off medication.
- Apply practical strategies to help patients meet protein needs and build sustainable nutrition habits that support long-term GLP-1 success.
