Understanding the GLP-1 Drug Revolution


What you need to know
about the drugs everyone is talking about!


Thursday, July 9,
7:00pm - 8:15pm 
Via Zoom

From diabetes and weight loss to heart health, addiction and beyond, GLP-1 medications are being hailed as groundbreaking drugs that may reshape modern medicine. You've likely heard about medications such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®, now used by millions of Americans and generating widespread attention in both the medical community and popular culture.

Join us for an informative and easy-to-understand overview of how these widely discussed medications work, who may benefit from them, and what current research is revealing about their expanding use.  The seminar will also explore potential benefits, side effects, common misconceptions and the growing role GLP-1 medications will play in the future of health and wellness. The presentation will be led by a nationally recognized expert in obesity research and weight management with more than four decades of clinical experience.   


Speaker – Rich Weil, M. Ed., CDE has devoted his career to weight loss and obesity management, including 25 years as founder and director of the weight loss program at the renowned NIH-funded New York Obesity Research Center at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City.

In 2024, he founded Transformation Weight Control (TWC), bringing with him more than four decades of experience in medically supervised, evidence-based treatment for obesity and diabetes. A strong advocate for recognizing obesity as a chronic medical condition, such as diabetes, Rich has expanded his work to focus on GLP-1 medications and their growing role in obesity treatment and other areas of health. Twenty-four months ago, Rich developed a pioneering Weight Loss Medication Support Group focused on GLP therapies.
