SVEF Benefits Buzz

In our latest episode of SVF Benefits Buzz, we sit down with Lisa Talamini, RDN and SVP of Clinical Services at Wondr Health, to tackle one of the most pressing questions in employee benefits today: are GLP-1s enough on their own? As Lisa puts it, “GLP-1s change how much you eat, but they don’t change what you need to eat.” Lisa helps employers drive sustainable outcomes through Wondr, a proven behavior-change program, and Wondr Advanced, which builds on that holistic foundation with clinical obesity care, tailored medication management, and nutrition support to deliver real clinical outcomes and cost savings. From the ROI of pairing medication with behavior change, to building a strategy that works for employees who will never take these drugs, this conversation is essential listening for any benefits professional navigating the GLP-1 landscape.https://sveforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SVEF-Podcast-Wondr-2.mp4[/video
