Integrating Functional Medicine, Metabolic Health, and GLP-1 Strategies for a Healthy Lifestyle.

This interactive workshop explores the principles of functional medicine and its holistic approach to health, focusing on root causes rather than symptoms. Participants will learn about the growing prevalence of metabolic dysfunction—including insulin resistance, obesity, and chronic inflammation—and how these conditions impact overall health and longevity.

The session will delve into evidence-based strategies for optimizing metabolic health, such as nutrition, movement, stress management, and sleep. Special attention will be given to the role of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonists, a class of medications originally developed for diabetes management, now recognized for their effects on appetite regulation and weight loss. We’ll discuss how GLP-1 therapies can be thoughtfully integrated into a healthy lifestyle plan, emphasizing that medication is most effective when paired with foundational lifestyle changes.

Class will end with a seated movement and breath-work practice.
