    Thank you to those of you who attended our first Interdisciplinary Case Consult: Weight-Neutral Metabolic Care last month! We loved the thoughtful discussion and collaboration that came out of this group.

    A few highlights from the conversation:
    GLP-1s in context: Dr. Rebecca Berens shared an overview of how GLP-1 medications work, their benefits, and their metabolic effects.
    Eating disorder considerations: Concerns were raised about appetite suppression, GI side effects, and the risks in pediatric and ED recovery populations.
    Insurance & access: We discussed barriers to coverage, compounded medications, and cost challenges for patients.
    Nuance & advocacy: Participants emphasized supporting patients with individualized care, advocating for the lowest effective dose, and navigating scope without carrying the full medical burden.
    We so appreciated the questions and perspectives you all brought — this space only works because of your willingness to engage with the nuance.
