If you work with employers on their benefits strategies, you've probably heard two things a lot lately: preventative health is a priority,
and employees have questions about GLP-1s. SoHookd recently hosted a webinar covering both, providing a look at how we support employer wellness strategies and offering a preview of one of our most requested employee education sessions.

Here's a quick recap of what was covered, and why it’s worth mentioning the next time you're talking about wellness, or even a broader benefits strategy, with a client.

What makes SoHookd different…and a better choice for your clients

Hannah kicks things off by summarizing SoHookd's five buckets of offerings and our philosophy on wellness delivery. In case you don't have time to watch the full session, here are a few of the important differentiators she calls out:

• No PEPM fees, annual contract requirement, or minimums; plus we have transparent, flat-fee pricing
• A rewards marketplace where every incentive is wellness-themed and supports the employee's wellness journey
• Programming for desk, non-desk, in-person, hybrid, and remote teams across a variety of industries
• Hands-on support for HR, including managing wellness program marketing to employees and speedy, low-lift implementation

A quick note about the webinars themselves

We also described SoHookd's webinar library. It covers more than 250 topics, from sleep to stretching to preventative screenings, available both live or on-demand so employers can pick what fits their workforce. GLP-1s are one of the newest additions, and one of the most requested, but we are always adding new content based on current wellness topics and trends.

Oftentimes employers use SoHookd’s webinars to help employees understand why they should take healthy actions, such as participating in the preventative health screenings offered by their health plans. The webinars bridge the gap between understanding and action.

A closer look: The GLP-1 session

After this short introduction, our expert took the stage. Dr. Rachele Pojednic — faculty at Stanford University, Chief Science Officer at Restore Hyperwellness, and a research associate with Harvard's Institute of Lifestyle Medicine — walked participants through sample content from SoHookd's GLP-1 education session. Dr. Rachel opened warmly by sharing that she’s “been studying longevity since way before it was cool.”

She then jumped right into GLP-1s, covering the basics of how these medications work, along with the clinical evidence, benefits, and safety considerations employees ask about most. Dr. Rachele covered:

• Timestamp 9:45: What GLP-1s are, their history, what they treat, and why they are so popular right now
• Timestamp 14:20: How these drugs work in the body and the major categories
• Timestamp 17:50: The science and studies behind these medications
• Timestamp 21:00: Side effects, safety considerations, and the importance of talking to a doctor and sharing a full health history
• Timestamp 22:38: Myths and common misperceptions about these medications (e.g., that GLP-1s are a “cheat”)
• Timestamp 24:50: Why having a healthy lifestyle still matters when someone is on a GLP-1

This webinar showcases the kind of high-quality content that makes SoHookd easy to recommend to your employer clients. It’s timely and relevant, and it does the real work of connecting wellness education to the benefits your clients are already offering.
