Nutrition Support While Taking GLP-1 Medications

Support your digestion, protect your nutrition, and feel confident about what to eat while using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound.

✔ Manage nausea, reflux, and digestive side effects
✔ Make sure you're getting enough protein and nutrients
✔ Build sustainable eating habits while your appetite is lower

Talk with a GI dietitian about your symptoms and how nutrition support could help.

Common Problems on GLP-1

Many People on GLP-1 Medications Struggle With:

• Nausea or loss of appetite
• Constipation or slowed digestion
• Not eating enough protein
• Feeling unsure what or how much to eat
• Fatigue from under-fueling
• Digestive symptoms like reflux or bloating

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Nutrition counseling can help you stay nourished and support your digestive health while using weight-loss medications.

Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound often reduce appetite and calorie intake, which can make it harder to meet protein, fiber, and nutrient needs without guidance.

How a GI Dietitian Can Help

When appetite drops or digestion slows, eating can become confusing or uncomfortable.

Together we focus on:

• Meeting protein and nutrient needs even with a lower appetite
• Managing nausea, reflux, or constipation
• Finding foods that feel comfortable to eat
• Supporting digestion without rigid dieting
• Creating sustainable habits for long-term health

Nutrition Support May Be Helpful If:

• You recently started a GLP-1 medication
• You’re experiencing digestive side effects
• You’re struggling to eat enough during the day
• You want to protect muscle, bone density, and overall nutrition
• You want guidance without restrictive dieting
