Risks, Benefits, and Natural Alternatives to GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs
Webinar + Q&A
Program Information

Duration: 3 hours
Last Day to Register: November 13th, 2024
The new class of weight-loss medications are hailed as game-changing wonder drugs, but just how safe and effective are they? Why do most people stop taking them within months of starting? Why does weight loss plateau, and what happens when you quit? How can you control the short-term side effects, such as gastrointestinal symptoms and muscle loss (“Ozempic face”), and what are the long-term risks of taking these drugs?
The adverse health effects of obesity itself are so dire that, like bariatric surgery, one could argue that these weight-loss drugs should be considered as a last resort, but there are diet and lifestyle changes that can naturally restore our GLP-1 satiety circuits. In this in-depth, three-hour live webinar event, Dr. Greger exposes what’s really happening in our bodies when we take drugs like Ozempic, explains why we should be concerned about supplements purported to act as “nature’s Ozempic,” and discusses the foods, beverages, spices, and lifestyle habits that can actually boost GLP-1 activity, cut cravings, and accelerate the loss of body fat.

Testimonials
All of the content was extremely useful. Dr. G is the best teacher, even via the web, I have ever listened to. Clear, engaging, personable, passionate, patient and very interesting.
It is a very cool feeling that there are over 500 people around the globe, who are interested in nutrition and want to know even more. So keep up the good work.
Dr. Greger did a fantastic job bringing his genius knowledge down to my level. I learned so much on all the ways to research effectively, thoroughly and truthfully. He was fantastic! He went over aspects enough times for me to get what he was talking about. So he didn't go too fast. He went just at the right pace. He did it with humor and fascination on a subject that can be tedious, he made it an adventure. I really appreciate all the work and planning that went into the four hours! Can't wait for him to do it again on another subject!
This course is worth so much money and a huge value to those particularly in university and research. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!
Dr. Greger is a rare treasure and his educational style is engaging. Thank you all!
