Find balance with food and meet your nutritional needs with ease.

Struggling with Side Effects from GLP-1 Medications?

Many people taking medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or similar treatments experience uncomfortable digestive and nutrition-related symptoms, including:

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Constipation or diarrhea

  • Acid reflux and indigestion

  • Bloating or feeling overly full

  • Gastroparesis-like symptoms

  • Fatigue and low energy

  • Dehydration

  • Hair thinning or hair loss

  • Loss of appetite

  • Food aversions

These symptoms can make it hard to eat enough, enjoy food, and stay nourished.

Without proper support, they can also affect your long-term health.

GLP-1 medications change how your digestive system works and how your brain experiences hunger and fullness.

Over time, inadequate nutrition can increase the risk of:

  • Muscle loss and weakness

  • Low protein intake

  • Nutrient deficiencies

  • Reduced bone density

  • Higher risk of fractures

  • Ongoing fatigue

  • Worsening GI symptoms

  • Increased food anxiety

This is not about “doing something wrong.”

It’s about recognizing that your body needs intentional nourishment, especially when appetite and digestion are altered from the medication.

With the right support, you can protect your health while continuing your treatment.

Why Nutrition Support Matters on GLP-1 Medications

Weight-Inclusive, Non-Diet Nutrition Care That Honors Body Autonomy

Samina Qureshi RDN, LD, CSDH

Choosing to use a weight loss medication is deeply personal.

As a weight-inclusive, non-diet registered dietitian, I believe in:

  • Body autonomy

  • Informed choice

  • Compassionate, respectful care

  • Health without shame

  • Supporting well-being beyond the scale

My role is not to judge your decisions or push weight-focused goals.

My role is to help you care for your body in ways that feel aligned, sustainable, and supportive.

You deserve care that respects both your health and your values.
