Active iqenters glp-1 education space with webinar series

Active IQ has launched a webinar series to educate the physical activity industry on the use of GLP-1 in weight loss programmes. The awarding organisation is working in partnership with medical wellness clinic Bodyline on the webinars.

The collaborative webinar series will feature a panel of experts, including Bodyline’s Medical Lead Dr Morgan Toerien, Active IQ MD Jenny Patrickson, Bodyline Founder and MD Sally Ann Turner and guest speakers Dr. Dane Vishnubala and Dr. Lou Atkinson.

According to Sally Ann Turner, Founder & MD of Bodyline Clinics, fundamental to the webinars will be the opportunity for the industry to offer input and feedback, ensuring they have a say in the future of any new AIQ qualifications in the GLP-1 space.

“The integration of GLP-1 medications with behavioural and lifestyle interventions presents a groundbreaking shift in how we approach weight health,” Turner said.

“Through these webinars, we aim to bridge the gap between medical science and the fitness industry, ensuring a safe, effective, and holistic approach to weight management and overall health.”

All three webinars will tackle different aspects of GLP-1 and are free to join.

Active IQ MD, Jenny Patrickson, said: “We are acutely aware that our industry requires knowledge and access to information in the weight loss medication space and are focusing our efforts on collaborative development and awareness raising CPD, rather than fast tracking a qualification.

“Any product we develop must adhere to our gold standard, and industry leading, frameworks and to achieve this for a GLP-1 qualification we need some more time to develop with partners across the space.

“This is an excellent opportunity to see professionals across the industry come together and ensure our products are developed with first hand feedback.”
