It’s all over the news. But there’s more to the story.

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are making headlines for their ability to curb hunger and support weight loss.

But weight loss isn’t the whole picture.

What will you learn?

We’ll cover the practical side of using GLP-1 medications alongside a healthy lifestyle, including:

  • Setting realistic goals
  • Managing potential side effects
  • Building healthy lifestyle habits
  • Protecting your muscle
  • Maintaining weight loss long term

Whether you’re considering GLP-1 medication, already taking one, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand what all the fuss is about, this session is for you.

Meet your presenters

Ben Burton and Imaan Sedghi are Accredited Exercise Physiologists from The Exercise Collaborative, bringing an exercise and lifestyle perspective to the conversation around GLP-1 medications and weight loss.

They’ll help you understand where these medications fit into the bigger picture, and how exercise, nutrition and sustainable habits can work alongside your weight loss goals.
