BioCare In-person Conference - The Light & Shade of GLP-1s

BioCare In-person Conference - The Light & Shade of GLP-1s

  Published to Upcoming Events on Nov 10, 2026

Nature designed food to be nourishing, enjoyable, and health-promoting. Our biology evolved in tandem with nature, rewarding us for fuelling our bodies with energy-dense foods. However, in an environment where food is always available and has been engineered to taste better than ever before, some foods have instead become damaging, addictive and disease-promoting.

Obesity and weight management are multi-factorial issues, rooted in our innate human behaviours and influenced by our modern environment, hunger and appetite regulation, hedonic networks, complex metabolic and genetic factors and even the state of our microbiome.

We have been facing an obesity epidemic that no single diet or exercise programme has been able to tackle effectively. All of that has changed with the arrival of GLP-1 medications.

With a once-weekly injection, appetite is diminished, constant food noise is gone, and weight loss feels effortless. It is no surprise that the use of GLP-1 medications has been growing. GLP-1s are here to stay and as practitioners, we must adapt.

At this conference, a panel of leading clinical and industry experts will explore:

  • An overview of GLP-1 medications, including how they work, their effectiveness, side effects, and how to manage them, as well as an update on emerging oral therapies.
  • A unique insight from a successful Nutrition & Weight Loss Clinic, sharing an approach to effective, natural weight loss
  • How genetics shape our relationship with food, from the hormones that govern hunger and satiety to the neurotransmitters that drive what, when, and why we eat.
  • Behavioural factors in GLP-1 supported weight loss, including the management of ‘food noise’ and positive behaviour change, illustrated through a case study.
  • The remarkable metabolic potential of the gut and oral microbiomes, and their influence on satiety signalling, energy regulation, glucose control, and natural GLP-1 production.
