0987_Integrating MNT in Modern Obesity Care: Evidence Based Strategies for Patients on Anit-Obesity Medications and After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery_Live
Description:
This Grand Rounds presentation will highlight the essential role of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and registered dietitians in supporting patients on Nutrition stimulated hormone receptor agonist therapy or NuSH RA (commonly known as GLP-1 receptor agonists or GLP-1 RA) and following bariatric surgery, emphasizing practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies for long-term weight management. This topic is especially timely given the rapid growth of NuSH RA use and evolving obesity treatments. The presentation will also cover NuSH RA therapy, outcomes, and emerging growth, and how these advances can support patient care. Providers will gain actionable tools and insights to improve outcomes and deliver more coordinated, effective care.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this interactive day, the participant will be able to:
(1) Review current and emerging NuSH RA anti-obesity medications, including mechanisms of action, clinical outcomes, utilization trends, and key updates from recent and ongoing clinical trials.
(2) Explain the role of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and registered dietitians in patients using NuSH RA therapies, and apply practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies to support weight management, optimize tolerance, and preserve lean body mass.
(3) Identify shared nutrition-related practice gaps and social determinants of health (SDOH) affecting patients receiving pharmacologic therapy and metabolic surgery and implement strategies to prevent and manage micronutrient deficiencies while improving access to coordinated, comprehensive nutrition care.
