About this course
GLP-1 medications and peptide treatments are now part of many clients' wellness routines, whether coaches are ready for it or not. This webinar breaks down how these compounds affect appetite, fueling, energy availability, and recovery, and what the clinical evidence actually shows, from lean mass preservation to cardiovascular and liver benefits to the risks of weight regain after discontinuation. You'll learn which lifestyle factors, protein intake, resistance training, daily movement, and nutrition strategy, determine whether these treatments work with a client's training or against it. We'll also draw a clear line between coaching scope and medical scope, with referral language you can use when medication questions come up. Walk away ready to support this growing client population with confidence and within your professional boundaries.
Learning objectives:
Explain the physiological mechanisms behind GLP-1 medications and related wellness stack compounds, and translate each mechanism into a specific nutrition or training adjustment.
Differentiate established clinical benefits from emerging research, and identify the primary risks relevant to coached clients.
Distinguish actions within a fitness professional's scope of practice from those requiring medical referral, and apply appropriate referral language for client medication questions.
