Pregnancy after bariatric surgery comes with unique nutritional challenges. But are your patients getting the right support? Join us for a free webinar where Dr. Laura Heusschen (Rijnstate Ziekenhuis) shares findings from a multicenter cohort study on nutrient status and supplement use in post-bariatric pregnancies. You'll learn about: → Optimal conception timing after surgery → Evidence-based supplementation strategies → Impact on fetal development 📅 Wednesday, June 17th 🕐 12:00–13:00 CEST / 11:00–12:00 BST Hosted by Mashal Naveed, Medical Education Specialist at FitForMe.

We monitor weight, glucose, and HbA1c, but what about nutrition? GLP-1 therapy changes how patients eat, absorb, and metabolize nutrients. Yet nutritional status before, during, and after treatment is rarely tracked. Emerging data shows growing deficiencies in B12, iron, and vitamin D among GLP-1 patients. These gaps can affect energy, immunity, and long-term success. Are you looking at the full picture? 👉 Learn what the latest evidence suggests: https://lnkd.in/eJp35WZq

Obesity is linked to chronic micronutrient deficiencies, even before weight loss begins. These silent gaps can impact energy, immunity, and long-term health outcomes. Astrup & Bügel (2019) highlight that people with overweight or obesity are at higher risk of deficiencies in vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as minerals like calcium and magnesium. These gaps can persist—or even worsen—across lifestyle interventions, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. Routine screening and targeted supplementation should be part of every obesity care plan. 👉 Explore the evidence: https://lnkd.in/eJp35WZq

Is obesity care complete without screening for micronutrient deficiencies? Micronutrient deficiencies are common in people living with obesity, and often go unnoticed. A recent study by Sander and colleagues (2025) in people with obesity showed deficiencies in 18 out of the 21 measured parameters. Specialized multivitamin supplementation that was provided over 3 months significantly improved key nutrients and less deficiencies were observed for vitamin D, folic acid and iron. Micronutrient screening and personalised supplementation should be part of every obesity care plan, supporting energy, immunity, and metabolic health before, during, and beyond interventions.

GLP-1 therapies are transforming obesity care. Patients lose weight, improve metabolic markers, and feel hopeful again. But here’s the question: Could your patients also develop hidden nutritional deficiencies? Deficiencies that impact energy, immunity, and their ability to stay on track long term. Emerging evidence suggests appetite suppression and altered absorption can lead to gaps in key nutrients like B12, iron, and vitamin D. If you’re not monitoring and supplementing, are you leaving patients vulnerable? 👉 Explore the latest research: https://lnkd.in/eJp35WZq
