Why We Exist

GLP-1 therapies are transforming lives, but there’s still much to learn. At the GLP-1 Foundation, we are committed to bridging the gap between science and real-world patient experiences to improve care and outcomes.

Our purpose is to:

  • Fund patient-focused research that explores the long-term effects and benefits of GLP-1 medications.

  • Empower patients with education and resources to make informed decisions about their health.

  • Advocate for better access to GLP-1 therapies and ensure every patient has the support they need.

Our Research Goals

We believe that research should prioritize patient experiences and real-world outcomes. Our focus areas include:

  • Understanding Long-Term Impact – Investigating how GLP-1 therapies affect metabolic health, weight management, and overall well-being.

  • Improving Patient Care – Studying best practices for healthcare providers to optimize GLP-1 treatment plans.

  • Expanding Access & Awareness – Researching barriers to treatment and advocating for policies that ensure equitable access.

  • Real-World Patient Experiences – Gathering insights from the GLP-1 patient community to inform future studies and healthcare practices.
