Starts Sept 29th· 4-WEEK LIVE VIRTUAL COURSE
The GLP-1
Roadmap
Satiety, strength, and inflammation control for weight loss that lasts.
A live course for anyone considering a GLP-1, currently taking one, or thinking about coming off it — built by Vida’s functional medicine physicians around the one variable the prescription doesn’t manage for you: what you do alongside it.
• Sept 29 – Oct 20 • Tuesdays, 4:30–6:00 PM PT • Live & Virtual • 20 Seats
Billed to insurance for qualifying Vida ND benefits, or join for a flat $399 cash-pay rate — no insurance required.
THE PREMISE
Your GLP-1 is a tool. This is how you make it work.
GLP-1 medications can be genuinely life-changing — but they were never meant to be a complete plan on their own. What you do alongside the medication decides whether your results are temporary or lasting: whether you keep the muscle that protects your metabolism, whether your energy and digestion hold up, and whether you’re ready for what happens if you taper off.
The GLP-1 Roadmap closes that gap. Over four live sessions with Vida’s Functional Medicine physicians, you’ll learn how to get the most out of GLP-1 therapy — or pursue metabolic weight loss without one — using an approach built on muscle, movement, nutrition, and habits that actually hold.
“This course doesn’t replace your relationship with your prescribing provider. It strengthens it.”
IS THIS YOU?
Who this course is for
Considering
You’re thinking about starting a GLP-1 and want to understand what to actually expect.
Currently Taking
You’re on one now and want more support than a quarterly check-in provides.
Tapering
You’re thinking about stopping and want a realistic plan for what comes next.
Another Path
You’re pursuing weight loss without medication and want the same structured, muscle-first approach.
Have insurance through a qualifying ND benefit? Our Functional Medicine Concierge Team verifies your coverage as part of enrollment — see how below.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Four sessions. One roadmap.
Every session includes live teaching, open discussion, dedicated Q&A, and one concrete action step — something to apply that week, not just remember.
How GLP-1s Actually Work
Foundations
The science behind appetite, satiety, gastric emptying, insulin signaling, blood sugar, and weight regulation — plus a clear look at access, safety, medical supervision, insurance, cash-pay, and compounded options.
The Muscle & Metabolic Protection Plan
Protection
Why muscle is your best long-term insurance policy. Protein targets, resistance training, aerobic fitness, and how to build metabolic flexibility that outlasts the medication.
Navigating the Real Challenges
Obstacles
Practical strategies for nausea, constipation, reflux, low appetite, hydration, and plateaus — plus the gut-and-microbiome connection between fiber, natural satiety signaling, and GLP-1-related digestive symptoms.
Building Your Maintenance Plan
Maintenance
What to consider before tapering or stopping, why appetite and weight can rebound, and how to build a plan that holds up long after the course ends — plus how DEXA/body composition, resting metabolic rate, and VO2 max testing can sharpen the picture of your own metabolic health.
