Weight isn't the issue. It's the symptom

Excess weight, metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance — these are symptoms of a bigger issue. Yet most clinical care still treats them as problems to be ‘fixed’ with willpower alone.

At Apex Longevity Academy, we know better. So do your patients. 

The Weight Optimisation Course is your opportunity to lead the change with evidence-based, practical strategies — not outdated calorie-counting techniques. Weight management isn’t about willpower. It’s about data, hormones, and achievable goals. 

Let’s rethink the conversation and reshape the future of metabolic care.

What is The Weight Optimisation Course?

This CPD and ACCME accredited course provides a practical, personalised framework for weight management, designed for clinicians who want to address the root causes of weight gain — not just the symptoms.
You will learn how to support patients struggling with stubborn weight loss, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and joint pain through strategies that are both sustainable and science-led.
From GLP-1 agonists like Mounjaro and Wegovy, to natural methods of stimulating GLP-1 and the use of targeted supplements, this course equips you with the knowledge and confidence to tailor treatment to each individual.
Everything is grounded in clinical evidence and designed for real-world application. We are committed to clinical integrity, which is why all content is fully independent and free from affiliations with supplement brands or pharmaceutical companies.

This is weight management redefined — designed for patients who need targeted support, and practitioners ready to deliver it.
