By using the GLP-1 topic as a case study, this session will guide participants through the full journey of a nutrition message, from the initial stages of scientific evidence generation to its final implementation as a public-facing message, policy, or regulation. The session will emphasize the importance of rigorous research, data interpretation, communication strategies, and regulatory frameworks in shaping evidence-based messages or nutrition claims. The goal is to provide a holistic view of how scientific findings evolve into actionable and credible information that influences public understanding, behaviors, and policies.
