Nutrition Support While Taking a GLP-1

GLP-1 medications can be an effective tool for weight management and metabolic health, but eating well while taking them can sometimes be challenging.

Changes in appetite, early fullness and gastrointestinal symptoms can make it harder to consume enough protein, fiber, fluids and essential nutrients. Working with a registered dietitian can help you get the nutrition you need while supporting your health and weight goals.

  • GLP-1 nutrition counseling may include:

    • Meeting your protein needs and supporting preservation of muscle mass

    • Creating balanced meals despite a reduced appetite

    • Managing nutrition-related side effects such as nausea, constipation or early fullness

    • Supporting hydration and fiber intake

    • Identifying potential gaps in vitamin and mineral intake

    • Developing realistic meal and snack ideas

    • Supporting strength training and body composition goals through nutrition

    • Managing cholesterol, blood sugar and other cardiometabolic concerns

    • Developing sustainable habits for long-term weight maintenance

  • My goal is not simply to help you eat less.

    We will focus on the quality of your nutrition, preserving strength and muscle, supporting cardiometabolic health, and helping you establish habits that are realistic long term.

    With more than 10 years of clinical nutrition experience, I bring an evidence-based medical nutrition therapy approach to weight management and complex health conditions.

  • Nutrition counseling complements — rather than replaces — care from the medical professional prescribing your GLP-1 medication.

    Medication selection, dosing and management remain with your prescribing provider. My role is to provide individualized nutrition assessment, education and ongoing support throughout your journey.

  • Whether you're preparing to start a GLP-1 medication, are currently taking one, or are thinking about how to maintain your progress long term, individualized nutrition counseling can help you feel more confident about what and how to eat.
