As an eating disorder clinician, when asked about Ozempic and other GLP-1s by your clients with diabetes or prediabetes... do you feel prepared for these discussions? Or are you lost in a cloud of confusing hype?
This webinar for dietitians (as well as therapists, physicians, diabetes educators, and more!) helps you weed through it all and get down to the facts so you can ethically and confidently collaborate with your patients and clients on this topic from a weight-inclusive and fat positive perspective.
Includes discussions about functions of GLP-1s, side effects, safety, discussing meds with clients, and more.
This masterclass focuses on the use of GLP-1s in diabetes care specifically.
About Your Instructor
Erin is a registered dietitian, diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES), and private practice owner focusing on the intersection of diabetes and eating disorders.
Erin has been working in diabetes care since 2010 and has been a diabetes educator since 2016. She received advanced training in eating disorders in 2015 through the Leadership Education in Adolescent Health fellowship at Seattle Children's Hospital while at the same time began working in pediatric endocrinology. It was during this time that she saw, in the words of Dr. Ann Goebel-Fabbri, that "Teaching a person how to be a 'perfect diabetic' is akin to teaching them how to have an eating disorder." She now dedicates her work and advocacy to undoing this messaging.
She supports people living with diabetes through individual counseling and provides 1:1 and group consultation for clinicians looking to be more grounded and confident in supporting their clients and patients with co-occurring diagnoses of diabetes and eating disorders.
