October 21, 2025

GLP-1 medications are often praised as “miracle” drugs for weight loss and diabetes management—but what’s the full story?In our keynote presentation from Within Summit 2025, Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt and Dr. Shaun Riebl uncover the lesser-known risks of GLP-1 use, exploring how these medications may impact mental health, eating patterns, and long-term nutrition. Together, they examine the physiological, psychological, and nutritional effects of GLP-1s—from mood and cognition to nutrient absorption and energy balance—and what these findings mean for patient care.This session provides evidence-based insights to help clinicians and healthcare professionals deliver compassionate, comprehensive, and weight-inclusive care in a rapidly evolving treatment landscape.
