There’s a lot of hype around GLP-1 medications right now—and if you’re feeling confused, cautious, or just curious, you’re in good company. Health practitioners are struggling to keep up with the research and the messaging that consumers are facing and these conversations are ending up in therapy spaces.

This 60 min webinar will explore the relational consideration and provide a framework for these conversations. It will include a brief overview of endogenous GLP-1 and GLP-1 Agonist. Approved use in Australia of GLP-1 Agonists, research to date including in ED, and run through the DECISION Framework - an outline of steps to cover with a consumer to ensure informed consent and body autonomy. This conversation will highlight areas to be considerate of and where to go for further information.
