WEIGHT-LOSS INTERVENTIONS: slimming injections and bariatric surgery

Wishlist Share

About Course

Slimming injections and bariatric surgery: how they work, who they suit, and the nutrition protocol that protects the patient. The medication or the operation creates the weight loss; the dietitian decides whether it costs muscle, bone and micronutrients. Learn to screen for contraindications, guide nutrition during GLP-1 therapy, take a patient through the post-operative diet phases, and set up lifelong supplementation and laboratory follow-up.
