≥93% of participants will expand their expertise in supporting patients with digestive, metabolic, and appetite-regulating conditions, including those using or exploring GLP-1 based medications such as Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), Dulaglutide (Trulicity).
Course Objectives
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
- Understand the digestive and metabolic mechanisms targeted by GLP-1 related therapies, and how these pathways relate to TCM concepts of the Spleen, Stomach, and qi transformation.
- Identify common patient presentations associated with GLP-1 medications, including digestive side effects and appetite changes, and apply acupuncture protocols to support safe, effective care.
- Integrate TCM herbal strategies and dietary guidance to promote digestive comfort, regulate appetite, and support sustainable metabolic balance.
- Educate patients about the body’s natural mechanisms of hunger and fullness using accessible language, and build integrative care plans that respect both traditional and modern approaches.
Who Should Enroll?
- Licensed Acupuncturists: Acupuncturists who want to support patients navigating modern weight-loss therapies using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and classical diagnostic frameworks.
- Herbalists and TCM Practitioners: Practitioners interested in treating metabolic disorders, digestive irregularities, and appetite disturbances from a whole-body, drug-conscious perspective.
- Integrative Health Providers: Clinicians seeking to bridge TCM and contemporary metabolic care to better support patients using or tapering off GLP-1 medications.
