Course Overview

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and others, are really popular right now. Like really popular. And several experts say they will fundamentally change our society in our eating habits and in secondary uses such as aiding addictions and sex. This course will look at the science and pharmacology of these drugs as well as how they may work from a Chinses medical view, We will also explore herbs, Chinese and otherwise, and supplements that may help support users of GLP-1 agonists or have similar effects and can be used instead of these pharmaceuticals. And, as usual in our courses, we will determine the risks of drug-herb interactions. This is a must take course for any modern Chinese medical practitioner and/or herbalist!
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
