Wednesday, July 31, 11am PT / 2pm ET
Register to attend live or get the replay

Everyone’s talking about GLP-1s. But what about the providers writing the prescriptions? What do they think about GLP-1s for weight loss?


A new survey of 300 PCPs, endocrinologists and obesity-certified specialists explores what’s really happening within the four walls of the doctors office between the patients asking for weight loss drugs and the providers trying to support them.


Join this webinar to get this new data, including:

  • Why providers say GLP-1s are an imperfect solution for obesity
  • Patient’s unrealistic expectations of weight loss drugs 
  • Why they say GLP-1s are used too frequently for obesity and why lifestyle programs should be a first line therapy
  • What kind of support providers want as they navigate the GLP-1 wave
