Beyond the Shot: GLP-1 Use in the Nutrition Treatment of Eating Disorders

GLP-1 medications are everywhere. Your eating disorder clients are being prescribed them — sometimes without anyone asking the right questions first. Are you equipped to navigate that conversation?

This training was built for exactly that moment.

Beyond the Shot is a professional training hosted by Christy Maloney, RD, LDN, CEDS-C — a Registered Dietitian and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist with over a decade of clinical experience treating eating disorders at every level of care.

GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide are rapidly entering the clinical landscape, and the eating disorder field is still catching up. The research has significant gaps. The risks vary meaningfully across diagnoses. And the language clinicians use with patients in this conversation matters more than most realize.

This training gives you the clinical framework to assess risk, intervene with confidence, and communicate effectively — all through a weight-inclusive, eating disorder-informed lens.

🎯 Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

1. Describe the mechanism of action of GLP-1 receptor agonists and identify the nutritional side effects most relevant to patients with eating disorders
2. Distinguish the differential risk profile of GLP-1 use across eating disorder diagnoses — including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and ARFID
3. Evaluate the current evidence base — and its significant gaps — for GLP-1 use in individuals with a history of disordered eating
4. Apply an eating disorder-informed clinical framework to assess risk, structure nutrition intervention, and communicate effectively with prescribing providers
5. Demonstrate use of weight-inclusive, non-stigmatizing language when discussing GLP-1 medications with patients in the context of eating disorder recovery
