# CE Hours | 5 Modules | _____ Approved Continuing Education 

Your clients are already on these medications. Are you ready to coach them? 

Roughly one in eight U.S. adults has used a GLP-1 medication — and that number is growing fast. If you're a certified health and wellness coach, the question isn't whether you'll work with a GLP-1 client. It's whether you'll be prepared when you do. 

This five-module course gives you the clinical literacy, coaching language, and scope-of-practice confidence to support GLP-1 clients effectively — without overstepping into medical territory. And unlike most CE courses, this one doesn't just tell you what to do — it shows you, with a filmed coaching demonstration you can watch and learn from. 

What You'll Learn: 

- How GLP-1 medications work, what side effects to expect, and which symptoms are red flags requiring immediate referral 

- Nutrition coaching strategies that protect muscle and maximize nutrient density when your client's appetite has dropped dramatically 

- Movement coaching that prioritizes resistance training and works with — not against — your client's changing energy levels 

 - How to navigate the identity shifts, weight stigma, plateau frustration, and discontinuation fears that make GLP-1 coaching uniquely complex 

 - Exactly where the line falls between coaching and medical advice — and how to stay confidently on the right side of it 

- A filmed, real-time coaching demonstration showing every principle in action with a single client — so you can see the tone, pacing, and language modeled, not just described 

What Makes This Course Different: 

- 16 coaching practice scenarios + a filmed coaching demonstration — more applied practice than any comparable GLP-1 CE course on the market 

- Evidence-based throughout — every clinical claim is grounded in current peer-reviewed research, not opinion 

- Built for coaches — the clinical content is translated into coaching-appropriate language and strategies, with clear scope boundaries at every step 

- A filmed capstone you can actually watch — see a full first session with a GLP-1 client, segmented and debriefed by the instructor, so you leave with a model you can adapt to your own practice 

- Developed by a Registered Dietitian serving as subject matter expert

Course Structure: 

- Module 1: Mechanism & Scope of Practice

The capstone module features four filmed coaching clips with instructor debrief, practical tools (scope decision framework, referral network checklist, first-session framework), and a gated 10-question final assessment. 

Who This Is For: 

NBC-HWC certified health and wellness coaches who want to serve GLP-1 clients with confidence, competence, and clear professional boundaries. No prior clinical background required — the course builds your knowledge from the ground up.
