Confidence and a Competitive Advantage!

The GLP-1 Optimizer™ Certification Course gave me quality education to first understand, then be able to speak with confidence to clients about everything from how GLP-1 is naturally secreted within our own bodies and how to improve our own, to the GLP-1 RAs currently prescribed today, their potential benefits as well as important considerations. The “body switch” as explained by Ashley Koff RD really helped me visualize this complex system and turn it into language my clients can understand along with very doable better nutrition support. Loved Ashley and Keri’s digestible (pun intended) education on the topic!
