The increasing number of consumers on GLP-1 medications is bolstering demand for targeted support solutions, which is being answered by a number of major brands as seen with examples like the Hy-Vee GLP-1 wellness program.
The program is optimized to help individuals maximize the benefits they can get from their GLP-1 treatments by managing side effects more effectively and also making the best nutrition choices. The self-guided online program will be open to anyone aged 18 and older, and will run for six weeks starting in mid-July. Participation in the program will offer individuals access to three one-on-one visits with a registered dietitian at Hy-Vee either in-person or online.
The Hy-Vee GLP-1 wellness program focuses on 10 video modules and encourages personalized goal setting to help patients hone their focus on personal development.
