About the webinar
Presenter: Zonya Foco, RDN
Popular GLP-1 medications can provide short-term appetite suppression leading to weight loss, but do not correct the underlying drivers of appetite dysregulation—nor the associated nutrient deficiencies. Risks of long-term GLP-1 use include muscle loss, osteoporosis, and gastrointestinal disruption.
In this webinar Zonya Foco, RDN, discusses the underlying nutritional imbalances, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction that are contributing to the epidemic of obesity. She highlights evidence-based ways to stimulate natural GLP-1 production, helping patients reduce cravings and realize sustainable, medication-free weight loss.
