Are you overwhelmed by the constant headlines about medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound? It seems like overnight, GLP-1 medications have completely transformed the conversation around weight loss and metabolic health. But with all the media hype and celebrity endorsements, it can be incredibly difficult to separate medical facts from internet fiction.
Wendy Wright will present a clear, fact-based webinar where she cuts through the noise and breaks down exactly what these medications are, how they work, and what the data really shows.
Whether you are a healthcare professional, someone considering these treatments, or simply curious about the science of obesity, this session will provide you with the grounded, evidence-based information you need.

The Lupus Foundation of America offers Lupus Education for Nurses, a CNE-accredited course at no cost, designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and worth 1.0 nursing contact hour.
Why this Matters
Lupus is a complex, chronic autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body and often presents differently from patient to patient. Because symptoms can mimic other conditions, delays in recognition and diagnosis are common—making nurses’ awareness and confidence especially important across settings.
- The course helps nurses recognize signs and symptoms of lupus
- Understand diagnosis and treatment considerations
- Strengthen approaches to patient education and support across the care continuum
You can access the course here: Lupus.org/WD4927.
