Glucagon-like peptide-1, better known as GLP-1, has become a widely discussed topic in conversations about weight, metabolism, diabetes and long-term health. But what exactly are GLP-1s, and how do they work in the body?

Join us for a virtual Appetite for Life event on Tuesday, August 12 at noon featuring Danae Gross, MS, RDN, LDN, a Doctoral Candidate in Nutrition at UNC-Chapel Hill. Danae will introduce the science behind GLP-1s, explain how they influence appetite, blood sugar and metabolism, and help clarify why these medications have become such an important part of today’s health conversation.

The talk will also explore the potential benefits and considerations of GLP-1 use, including what people may want to know when weighing the pros and cons. This program is designed for a general audience and will offer a balanced, science-based overview of a timely and often misunderstood topic.
