Weight Management in Midlife: Metabolism, Medications, and Compassion

Weight gain in midlife can be incredibly frustrating—and it’s the most common challenge our clients seek support with. Approximately 36% of Canadian adults were overweight, while 30% were obese. But managing weight in midlife is about much more than just numbers on a scale.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

• How aging, sleep and stress impacts metabolism, weight management and muscle mass
• Why BMI is outdated and how to focus on true markers of health
• The role of weight-loss medications like GLP-1s, when they’re appropriate, and their additional benefits
• Why some people regain weight after stopping medications—and how to maintain progress
• How to challenge weight biases and embrace a more inclusive and compassionate approach to health

Join our expert guest, Dr. Sean Wharton, an internationally recognized leader in medical approaches to treating obesity and diabetes, as he offers an evidence-based perspective on managing weight in midlife. He’ll explain how nutrition and exercise play essential roles, why sleep and stress matter just as much, and the science behind the latest weight-loss medications. This webinar will help you understand what truly works, what doesn’t, and how to take compassionate steps toward better health.
