  • Dietary Supplements on Muscle Mass and Function While Using GLP-1 Medication

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This pilot study will examine whether daily protein supplementation with or without a mixture of culinary spices can help preserve muscle mass and function in adults who are using GLP-1 medications for weight management. The study will include 75 adults who recently started a GLP-1 medication and are experiencing weight loss. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard of care, protein supplementation plus placebo capsules, or protein supplementation plus mixed spice capsules. The study will last 6 months. Researchers will compare changes in muscle mass and muscle function among the groups. Muscle mass will be measured using DEXA and D3-creatine enrichment. Muscle function will be assessed using walking, stair-climbing, and grip-strength tests. The study will also evaluate metabolic and inflammatory markers, body composition, dietary intake, physical activity, fatigue, sleep quality, quality of life, and other measures related to muscle health.

  • Medical Residents Learning Weight Management Counseling Skills

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this study is to addresses the lack of weight management training physicians receive during their residency training. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How affective is the MRWeight curriculum at increasing medical residents weight management counseling (WMC) skills. - Evaluate residents' adoption of WMC skills in encounters with their patients - what would be the best way to get residents to adopt the WMC skills Residents in the comparison group will receive a course on obesity and weight management. The residents in the intervention group will have to attend 2 informational sessions and will receive 6 email modules on WMC. Both groups will also take part in 3 assessments over the course of 18 months to see which group has better WMC skills.

  • See if an iPhone Weight Management App Can Help Promote Weight Loss in Adolescents and Young Adults After a Stem Cell Transplant

    open to eligible people ages 13-30

    This early phase I trial studies how well a behavioral weight loss intervention consisting of a smartphone application and coaching works for the promotion of weight loss in adolescents and young adults after a stem cell transplant. This study may help researchers learn more about how adolescents and young adults can lose weight and develop healthy eating habits.
