What Other Professionals Have Said..
”I watched this great webinar with my whole team, including dietitians and psychologists. It provided a really comprehensive overview of the research around these medications. Most importantly it provided our team with some important discussion and reflection points around how to hold clients’ relationship with food at the forefront of our minds when they are seeking (or already using) these medications.”
Jess Rann

I found the GLP-1 Medications & Eating Disorders webinar by Aoife and Rhian really helpful. It was thorough, grounded in evidence and offered practical strategies for reducing risk and supporting clients effectively. It made me feel more confident navigating this with clients so I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build their confidence in this complex, topical and evolving area.
