Then\, faculty review GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 pharmacology\, established benefits\, safety considerations\, and common misconceptions\, explain how food as medicine\, locally relevant traditional foods\, and food sovereignty can complement pharmacologic and other metabolic care and identify emerging applications of GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 medications involving substance use disorders\, liver disease\, inflammation\, pain\, function\, and quality of life. Finally\, they describe practical differences in medication access and continuity across commercial insurance\, Medicare\, Medicaid\, IHS\, and Tribal health programs.
