[In-Person Workshop] GLP-1 Medications & Weight Loss: A Metabolic Perspective

  • Fiddleheads Health & Nutrition 25 Bruce Street Kitchener, ON, N2B 1Y4 Canada (map)

A clear, balanced conversation about GLP-1 medications

GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now, but much of the conversation is happening through headlines, social media clips, and strong opinions.

This in-person workshop with Dr. Kristijana Rakic, ND offers a clear, physiology-based look at how these medications actually work in the body, who may benefit, and how they fit into the bigger picture of long-term metabolic health.

Rather than hype, fear, or quick-fix promises, this session focuses on helping you understand the context so you can make more informed decisions about your health.

In this session you'll learn

• How GLP-1 medications work in the body beyond appetite and weight loss
• What GLP-1 means for blood sugar regulation, metabolism, muscle, and gut health
• Who may benefit from GLP-1 medications — and when caution is important
• How GLP-1 compares with lifestyle and root-cause approaches to metabolic health

This workshop is for anyone who is:

• Curious about GLP-1 but unsure what information to trust
• Hearing mixed messages from media, friends, or online sources
• Working on weight loss and looking for a more complete perspective
• Currently using a GLP-1 medication and wanting a deeper understanding
• Looking for an evidence-informed, non-biased conversation

What you'll receive

✔ A 45-minute educational workshop with Dr. Rakic
✔ Live Q&A discussion with attendees
✔ The opportunity to submit questions in advance
✔ A small group, in-person learning environment
