GLP-1 Use in Weight Loss Coaching

Hi Fitness,

With approximately 1 in 8 adults using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, this is now part of the conditions you’re coaching within.

These medications influence appetite signaling and satiety, affecting caloric intake, and require making adjustments to nutrition and strength training.

NASM’s Understanding Weight Loss Medications course breaks down how these mechanisms work and where they intersect with the work you do inside the gym.

It gives you evidence-based tools to work with clients using these medications in a way that reflects how weight loss is now being approached.

It is available for $99 as a one-time payment.
