Why You Should Attend
Obesity is a complex disease, influenced by genetic, behavioral, metabolic, and environmental factors. Traditional treatments often fall short due to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Precision medicine approaches and frameworks offer tantalizing potential to transform obesity care by tailoring treatments to each patient’s unique health profile, paving the way for enhanced effectiveness and fewer side effects.
This webinar will explore the advances in treatment from GLP-1 agonists to the future of personalized obesity treatment plans, while addressing critical topics such as:
- Why Obesity Is Hard to Treat: Causes of obesity and challenges in managing it.
- GLP-1 Medications in Care Plans: How GLP-1 drugs are used in personalized treatment.
- Who Should Use GLP-1 Medications: Identifying the right candidates and tailoring treatment.
- Overcoming Challenges: Addressing access, insurance, long-term use, and related health impacts.
- What’s Next After GLP-1s: Future innovations in obesity treatment.
