GLP-1 certification for personal trainers

$699 CAD

Why trainers need this

A GLP-1 changes everything about how your client eats, fuels and recovers. Coaching them the way you'd coach anyone else quietly costs them muscle, strength and results — and puts your reputation on the line.

💪

Protect their muscle

Rapid weight loss strips lean mass unless protein, resistance training and fuelling are handled deliberately. This is the difference between a great result and a fragile one.

🍽️

Get the nutrition right

Appetite drops, food noise quiets, GI side effects appear. You'll learn to keep clients adequately fed and nourished through titration, plateau and maintenance.

🧠

Coach the whole person

Food noise, emotional eating, identity, PCOS, menopause, and knowing when to refer. The psychology and the scope that separate a pro from a rep-counter.

The curriculum

Nine in-depth modules, 72 lessons — from the real pharmacology to programming, nutrition, GI management, long-term maintenance and the wider peptide landscape. Every module opens with an intro and closes with a wrap-up.

1The Pharmacology & History of Incretin Therapy8 lessons

From diabetes research and Gila-monster venom to fatty-acid chains, once-weekly dosing, the STEP 1 trial and tirzepatide's dual-receptor design — how these drugs actually work.

2The Shift in the Coaching Landscape8 lessons

Why traditional coaching assumptions fail (and can cause harm), spotting undisclosed GLP-1 use, cutting through social-media myths, and redefining success beyond the scale.

3The Altered Gut-Brain Axis & Physiology8 lessons

Appetite override, muted food reward and "food noise," unchanged muscular demands, and why fatigue now shows up long before the usual warning signs.

4Energy Availability & Metabolic Adaptation8 lessons

Energy availability vs intake, the RED-S health and performance models, compounded appetite suppression, and replacing intuitive eating with external structure.

5Programming Resistance & Endurance Training8 lessons

Why lean-mass loss escalates, the muscle-preservation paradox, compound-lift selection, the 72-hour recovery window, and periodizing across the three medication phases.

6Nutrition Frameworks & Fueling Strategies8 lessons

Protein-first blueprints and distribution, carbohydrate timing, fat regulation for GI comfort, scheduled hydration and electrolytes, and spotting micronutrient gaps.

7Managing GI Side Effects & Adherence8 lessons

The symptom timeline, training around flare-ups, exercise positioning, nutritional mitigation, and the clinical red flags that require a medical referral.

8Long-Term Maintenance & Healthcare Integration8 lessons

The biological rebound and appetite return, protecting NEAT, scope-of-practice limits, the integrated care model, and the critical 16-week post-medication window.

9Specialized Peptide Therapies in Wellness Coaching8 lessons

A skeptical, evidence-first tour of the peptide landscape — sourcing and gray-market risks, BPC-157/TB-500, retatrutide, GH secretagogues, and where the science actually stands.
