We believe in body autonomy and informed consent. There is so much hype and information about GLP-1 agonists in the media that it is hard to know if they are right for you.
At this time there are not comprehensive prescribing guidelines for GPs and Endocrinologists. There are online providers advertising on TV and in Social Media. And there is little discussion in these spaces about the potential side effects, risk or interactions with eating disorders. In practice we are seeing people prescribed these medications without careful discussion about the effectiveness, potential side effects, cost or offered alternative interventions.
We want people to have access to information about potential side effects, research about the effectiveness and potential harms of these medications; delivered in an easy to understand way.
This webinar and worksheets may bring up more questions and concerns than answers. The Eat Love Live Dietetics Team Are here to help. They can hold a space for you to further reflect and explore GLP-1 agonists in relation to you; providing individualised support with compassion.
Please note we do not actively encourage weight loss; however, we do hold space for clients experiencing body distress and facilitate balanced conversations regarding GLP-1 medications from a nutrition perspective. We are also able to comprehensively assess for disordered eating and eating disorders and provide ongoing nutritional care for clients who choose to take GLP-1 Agonist with health and or weight loss goals.
We can support people who choose to take GLP-1 agonist. We can ensure nutritional adequacy and support in management of side effects. We will celebrate improvements in health outcomes but we won't celebrate weight loss.
